    Plumber and gas fitter. Being in a roof space in 40 degree heat today sucked!

    Mat is around until end of next year. Figure given that, I better keep Matt around too. (Especially as he's gone back to IT! Some people do not have the personality to run their own business - he's too nice)

    3/4/5 were progressively more fun, then it was arguably downhill from there :)

    It will certainly be a change! Looking forward to being challenged and engaged though. Still early in my career and the last role wasn't providing the experience I need. The new role will be with a smallish civil contractor @bob shovel

    I agree. Still in most (not all) cases have to pay the difference between the income and expenses on an IP

    I am a career public servant. Working in child protection policy atm. Would like to get into preventative health as I'm fascinated by the obesity epidemic.
    I think I will stay in the public service working in different portfolios but would like to also have a side retail business.
    I would also like to offer free yoga classes (or maybe just one long one per week) to the community in particular the disadvantaged once I've done my teacher training.

    Is that an EN? What quals did you need?
    I'm toying with the idea of doing EN

    Nah; I was just a lowly PSA in the correct term - the EN course is a lot more involved.

    My Course at the time was a 1 month stint at Caulfield Hospital (but run by the Box Hill Tafe), plus a 2 week placing on their Wards after the Course ended. It has since changed and now also includes Food-Handling etc.

    I'll get a few details from the good wife about EN requirements (when she wakes up - she did a 5.30pm-1.30am shift last night in the Emergency Theater at Frangers Hospital) and I'll post them for you.
