New job = more pins
« on: June 22, 2012, 11:50:13 AM »
I have just landed a great new job with Queensland Rail here in Brissie with excellent pay and conditions.
I have spent the last 4-6 weeks testing and interviewing in a very extensive process but it has been well worth it. I am stoked to just go back to a good job as is the missus and kids but this also will help big time with more pinball purchases.
Now I can start rebuilding my collection again and give Ironman some much needed company. I really hope this X-MEN pin is the goods, it will be first cab off the rank if it is!

my next question. When do you get the ticketmaster hat???  ^^^ you know the only way to get that job is if you push the current one in front of a train when no one is looking. thats how you get that job from what i have heard, however they know that and they watch their back all the time lol

There is plenty of work there, no need to push anyone anywhere, besides I'm a pacifist.
They kit you out with everything, hat included during the training/induction. They all wear the same hats( optional) as far as I can tell.
Train crew is the job mate unless you want to go into upper management, train crew are on a amazing $$$$.
