MAN!!! I'm really sorry to hear about your job buddy, what a complete (unprintable foul language)...! As we say here, what's for you won't go by you...you'll see that something better will come around the corner...
As for now, please do forward my warmest and most heartfelt get well soon wishes to your "old man" again. He also has my permission to slap the back of your head whenever you don't do what you're told at home AND here at the forum...

Thanks Jason and Lucky.

Went to the Quaks today got the verdict. Seems he has damaged the ligaments in his shoulder and will take about 6 weeks to heal. More visits to come with possible phsiyo.

So things are looking better than I thought.

Cheers

Can you name the company/bastard? My eldest son had a similar experience. Was it an apprenticeship? So much for Howard's grand workplace agreement plans, no wonder he lost the election. But now Rudd's in the spotlight and it will be interesting to see if he can 'improve' on work situations for the young. I hope things improve for you.

I thought that you were of to University in an earlier post Heinz?

Heinz · 03-28-2008, 06:22 AM

Thanks for that Graeme.

Luckily it wasnt an appreticeship or anything just a shitty coffee shop job.
The AWAs were a joke I still am amazed people didnt react earlier.

As for as my status Im at TAFE at the moment just doing a writing course. Im looking to start a trade next year maybe.

Cheers mate.

Sent a PM, Alex, without reading your further comments on the job. Sorry to hear that. Keep at it though, there will always be bosses like that, but there are always good ones too...

Best regards and wishes again to your dad. I'm sure you'll both be back on your feet in no time.

Hey Man, sorry to hear of your further bad luck with the job, but glad your Father isn't as serious as it could have been. All the best to you and dad, mate.

Njaco · 03-28-2008, 07:13 AM

Wow, coming in late. Very belated wishes for your Dad's recovery and the Temporary setback in career. Hope all goes well Heinz! Keep the faith!

Clave · 03-28-2008, 01:56 PM

Good luck to both of you.

Just a little update on my old man....

Basically a few days ago the Quaks only just relised hes broken his shoulder blade. Its been 3 weeks and Im really fuming about the whole thing. It sets he work planes back even further because he now needs an operation to pin and screw it back together. Then rehab for it. Most of his job is heavy lifting.

Then today after having another scan we find out he has cracked the shoulder socket too on the underneath side, an uncommon break apparently.

As things go hes pretty lucky but just not really needed..........

Cheers.

Wayne Little · 04-15-2008, 04:29 AM

Well, you know we're right behind you and your dad mate! keep on top of it and all the best to your Dad....and you too!

A4K · 04-15-2008, 04:46 AM

Ditto Wayne!

Did they take X-rays at the Accident and Emergency Department at the time of the accident Heinz? Forgive me, but being a member of the public health service I can't help but ask!

Wildcat · 04-15-2008, 05:37 AM

Jeez Heinz, talk about getting kicked while your down! Give my best wishes to your old man.

Heinz · 04-15-2008, 06:47 AM

Nah your right Graeme,

They did take xrays and basically it was hard to get a straight answer. No offence to foreign doctors but its not always that easy to understand. Anyway we were assured there was no break.
Went to a doctor 5 days later he didnt suggest any xrays.
My old man goes to physio and he suggests a scan and ultra sound to double check.
We then find out theres a break and today when we go to the local Docs the socket is cracked.

Surely they could have seen this a few weeks ago.

Going in for some stuff tomorrow and some treatment at the hospital.

I need a good book could be a long day
