Thanks Marcus, but keep in mind, a lot of people have a lot more medals than me because they've done a lot more as well.

Then there are those who have contributed so much with little or no recognition as well. They're the real "heroes".

Years ago BP the petrol company had a slogan which I thought really belonged with the Volunteers of our Country, and it was .. "BP the quiet achiever" The quiet Achiever belongs to our Volunteers of all descriptions not just fire.

OK, speech over

Thanks again everyone

Good to hear you got work prospects and finally got your well deserved medals.

Sorry to hear about your sister.

Out NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) Audit is in March, but date not set yet, so it is unlikely I'll make Ballarat.

But if you and Mrs Sabie are passing through Brisbane and need a overnight break we may well have a spare bed.

Hey thanks for the offer Gary, it's very much appreachiated, we have a Son in Gladstone a Daughter in Noosa and a Son in Toowoomba we have to visit.

However we'd love to meet for a coffee depending on schedules and any work or social commitments you have on the day.

Cheers Gary

Well, Australia Day came and I was away with the new job. While I was away I received a call from the council, if I could come by and pick up an award for my work with Volunteers.

I'd been nominated by some of the Volunteer Firefighters, now I was suspended on the 18th September 2012 and dismissed on the 17th April 2013. During that time I did have much contact with any of the Volunteers, such is the way it is with suspension.

Picked it up today, and here it is.

My new Boss has a bit of a sense of humour. Last trip to Emerald I received my ID Card, and I thought I'd share it with you.

I was told they didn't have a recent photo of me and had to go by a close likeness.

I laughed hard and shared with family and friends at home!!

Congrats on your latest award, oh wise amish minion.
I'm sure i last saw that facial hair on the goggle box circa 1977.
Does anyone remember the science program " The Curiosity Show " ?
That beard is a dead ringer from 1 of the presenters.
I won't be surprised to see you wearing a turtle neck jumper at Ballarat

Congrats on the award my friend, well done

And I love your boss’s sense of humour, that’s an awesome ID card

I’ll have to see if I can find a pic of my old ID card, it wasn’t as good as that but it was good for a giggle

Thanks for sharing Minion 2018

Cheers
Shiney

Well once again I'm employed if only on a casual basis.

After moving to the Sunshine Coast I've managed to score a casual job driving an airport shuttle bus from the Sunshine Coast to the Brisbane Airport for $20 an hour. Had to supply my own GPS, Phone and Bluetooth ear piece. Private enterprise huh..

Start Monday..

Might see you at the airport ...

Wild Rose · « **Reply #70 on:** November 01, 2014, 01:00:29 AM »

That's great Sabie

Something to help pay the bills is always good

Sabie · « **Reply #71 on:** November 01, 2014, 01:10:00 AM »

Well Leo, it's $20 an hour more than I was on.... :)

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #72 on:** November 01, 2014, 03:24:41 AM »

best of luck with the new venture... a change is almost as good as a holiday

Good to hear you've got work again even if it's casual. It's easier to get full time work when you've got something on the go.

Remember to wave at me when you drive past the Brisbane Control Tower.

Maybe when (if) the Security level drops again, you might be able to pop in for a visit before heading to the sunshine coast.
