Have never worked in the Public sector - although both my parents have. My job now is private, small business (very new to me). I have worked for Australian-owned intl. franchises (Thrifty Car Rental and Instant Windscreens & Tinting) and NGOs / Maori organisatiosn (Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu) and then medium sized private sector companies owned by Ngai Tahu.

I love working with my people so NT was great, and I think it would be similar in the Public sector - very rewarding, great atmosphere and sense of achievement. You're working to better people's lives, not just in a monetary sense. The downside was probably the high job-security leading to many people not trying very hard, and probably working backwards for the overall objectives of the organisation.

Whereas the private sector you're just lining some fat-cats pocket. In this new job, it's a small business (4 employees + owner), and you do feel a bit more responsible because your actions directly influence whether or not you have a job tomorrow. The other thing about the private sector that I do like is the competition, and the cut-and-thrust nature of business. You've got to put our company on the front foot and try to beat the others out in the market.

The biggest downside of my current job is probably working with Speakman, he smells of BlackWatch and his beard is intimidating. Some days, I'm so scared of his facial hair that I send him to the bakery to get my lunch just so I can have a few minutes of relief.

He's been secretly hiding little bits of his beard in your lunch, hoping that they will germinate and that you too will grow a mighty man mane!

Can't get embedding to work.

In other news, I have only just noticed that I reached 4000 posts the other day. But apparently, after nearly 5 years this is not a big achievement.

Quality > Quantity I guess.

Heh, nah, bugger that, I love not working weekends.

Even though I work one in two. :P

I love my job, at least at the moment, I've been looking forward to going to work, it's a great thing that I've got going on, at least for now.

Join BF3 clan server. Dominate the fuck out of everyone in the littlebird. Player from clan joins. He's rank 1. Instantly jumps into mobile AA and kills me. I kill his mobile AA, then he shoots me. I start capping flag with attack heli. I get banned mid cap. No warning.

Get killed twice BY the guy, and he still so mad he bans me.



Suddenly just realised he was on the losing team. Will be on winning team by now.
Fucking stats whore retards.

Clanname "MAD". Must pretty much sum it up.

Yeah well, i got banned from a clan server last night, for drawing dicks on the carrier with the gas torch.

THEN I WENT ON GetSome, raped up in the little bird, me > bw etc etc. ( :p )

Couldn't tell where the RPGS were hitting me from, turns out it was fucking Spork sitting in the back, trying to sabotage me.

Hahahahahaha, fairly sure it was thanks to me that you did so well, my repair torch kept you alive on multiple occasions, even if it was me who was causing most of the damage!

Turns out it is not a good idea at all to fire rockets out of the little bird, no matter what angle.
