Ooooo goodie mines changed too

been promoted twice now since last posted here. went from shit kikka/ bobcat driver up to a site supervisor

im now a seniour site/ project manager/ site superintendant for my company and although the stress and workloads increased dramatically, the money did as well and so did the responsibility.

atm i just so happen to be running port coogee here in perth, one of the biggest sub developments in perth atm, multi million dollar job, and im one of the top cheifs

....loving it and the experience is great, also having the satisfaction knowing im the youngest superintendant on site atm, and i have people under me thats 3 times my age

feels good..although intimidating at times

but going back to a uni student very soon to finish my MBA
