well i finish my college block in 1 week and i am looking for a labouring job for about a month or so.

i was wondering what types there are and if any one knows any one who is looking for labourers. cheers

edit: i can start on the 8th of nov

industrial cleaning, good pay and its not to hard work i'd reccomend that over brickies hand or something that involves being in the sun this time of year

If you value your hands, don't ever be a brickies labourer. You'd wanna be pretty fit too, labourers are typically treated like s*** so if you can't keep up don't expect any sympathy from your boss.

The best place to get labouring work would probably be in a warehouse doing stacking and packing as you're not out in the sun all day and it would be less stressful than working on a building site.

Unskilled labour is arse :S

I did holiday work in a plastics extruding factory for a month and a bit. Had to get up at 5am everyday to make it over to the northside.

Stood around all day at the end of the conveyor belt and stacked and wrapped whatever plastic s*** was coming out for 8 hours with a 30 min break for lunch.

It was hot, dirty and loud (had earplugs).

I made 3 grand but I was damn glad when it had finished! f*** doing that full time, I'd seriously die!

i worked in an icecream factory last summer.

19 bucks an hour and free icrecream!

boring, repetitive work tho. not too hot at least. mmmmmmmmmm

By any chance was that job at Geebug and was it at a place called PPC (IIRC). If so, I actually applied for an IT job there about 3 years ago. f***ers lined up an interview then at the last minute rescheduled it and I never heard from them again. Oh well their loss and probably would've been a s*** job anyway.

EDIT: Doh. Beaten:

The suburb you're thinking of is probably Eagle Farm (or could've been toombul, nundah, pinkenba or god knows what else), and I think I know the place you're talking about

im starting labouring for dad as soon as i finish school mick

w00t for concreting :>

you won't be jumping around when you actually do some concreting

haha fukin oath.
concreting will own you

It will get you cut as...

Like crying and s***.

i watch those poor c***s like everyday, it's the second worst labourors job ever, behind brickying, and maybe the roof guys(in summer). but they don't really have labourors, depends what sort. the roof tilers have have s*** kickers sometimes, but they don't really get up on the roof until they know what they are doing

Its in nudgee apparently, smart told me he has worked there as well and can confirm how much of an ass job it is :D

im a plasterers labourer/ta. its not too bad as far as labouring jobs go, except on hot days

sigh shutup faggets, my dad runs a concreting business, i think i know wtf you have to do

and iv done a week of it before, when iwas 15

its hard.. way harder jobs out there

you c***s are just f***ing pussies, seriously

I've worked in contreting and concrete and aggregate testing.

Its not too bad when it isn't hot.

Otherwise its hard sweaty work, but I was clearing over a grand a week and this was 5 years ago.

Makes you fit as hell also. And f***s your hands hardcore, buy some girly hand cream if you value your skin.

Currently working in a newspaper distribution warehouse.

Work is eaaasssyyy and you're in the shade and can listen to the radio, decent pay too.

Owns the f*** out of working at coles let me tell you.

Why not just wear gloves?

becasue then you are clumbsy as f*** and drop everything.

e-mail me if your interested.
martin@hitecwelding.com.au

Not if you get a decent pair of gloves.

i labour kinda at a local nursery, they always need help there in spring....cept mine we are over staffed so dont ask

It's because you get the old c***s that have been doing it for years giving you a hard time for being soft. You don't even need a decent pair of gloves, just a $10 pair of leather gloves from coles or woolies work fine but you definitely need a pair otherwise your hands will be torn to s*** at the end of your first day.

i was a labourer about 2 yrs ago for 2 weeks, i just knocked down a house/walls etc and took all the crap to the bin etc.. was pretty easy and was pretty good money. its good when you are working with a good builder tho, the guy i worked with was a champ :D

you c***s are just f***ing pussies, seriously

Is this because we don't own our own trolley bars? :(

I worked as a tree lopper for a few days after the big storms wrecked havoc last year. $150 a for a half day's work was some good moolah.

what do ya do?
just sort the news papers and put all the sections in?

more power to you existence

When youre a young bloke the chickies love the labourers cos you get all brown and cut like Booyah :P

better then paying ten bucks to go to some homo-erotic gym

When you grab your girly like shes a wheelbarrow of mud, SHE will love it and tell all her girlfriends then word will get around and you will pick up all the chickies yeehaw slam the bitches

Good to see a young bloke who isnt scared of hard work - just try not to piss all the cash up the wall

lol

I've done a few months here and there over the years as a brickies labourer. It's a great job. f***ing hard work but you feel good at the end of the day and are pumped for the new days work in the morning.

Not to mention the the good it does for your body and the undeniable thirst you have for beer at the end of the day!

yup.

All the ads and pamplets you find in the Northside Chronicle or the other lacal rags are done by us. We also sort/strap/stack other promo s*** to get carted off to other places.

Now and then you get to f*** off in the van and deliver big stacks of newspapers to peoples houses around brisbane, which is awesome.

damn talk about unskilled labour nightmares...

one of my first jobs was storeman in a glove manufacturing company at zillmere

there was a guy there who for 8 hours a day would cut out leather glove shapes with a press...

Step 1 - he would position the leather under the press...

Step 2 - he would push both buttons on the top of the machine which would cut out the leather(so he couldnt cut his hand off)

Step 3 - Refer Step 1

8 hours a day 30 min lunch break

if there was ne1 who had good cause to go postal it was this dude...

When youre a young bloke the chickies love the labourers cos you get all brown and cut like Booyah

lol you love talking about me when you're intoxicated dont you ;)

Only a brown man can truly know how much the women love the brown dude


AHAHAHAAHAHA

sucko convicts

You're lucky we whites produce such fine women, otherwise you would be stuck rooting ugmos with moustaches and black curtains from head to toe.

Yeah i must admit i enjoy rooting your women. Do not be envious. Be proud.

Yeah I bet they especially love it when your synchro clock goes off and you start praying mid-root.

lol

I had tree lopping guys at my place today actually..spent a couple of grand getting rid of some big nasty bastard trees. Whilst they did their thing I was chopping down some umbrellas and a weeping willow. The 'chipper' they had was awesome, I ended up with about 4 cubic metres of brilliant mulch. But just the stuff I carried up to the chipper completely had me rooted after a few hours work. Still, I guess I am recovering from two shoulder operations but man those guys worked hard lugging all the limbs etc...the best job is the guy in the harness who gets to climb to the top of the trees and drop all the stuff down. As long as you dont fall that is...

:)

Labouring is something I admire in people who do it... a decent days work for a decent days pay. I haven't got any problems with that.

Heh we were actually called to go to some house on the north side somewhere last year... we went into the guys backyard and all we saw was this massive tree that had fallen and broken through the fence of the neighbours yard straight into the poor bloke's pool. Tree barks, twigs, leaves and all sorts of wood work filled up his pool from top to bottom. The thing is, the main trunk of the tree went sideways straight across the pool and it was really hard to get anything done except chop that muthah in halves. That's when the main man with the hanrness did his magic by pouncing around everywhere chopping s*** up. It was quiet fun but very physical at the same time.

Coming to think of it i rememeber i did take some pics of the massive tree trunk that went timber straight through the fence into the pool. Without any exageration it even ripped up the slab of concrete that was covering its roots. I just can't rememeber with what camera/phone i took it with, it was amazing ! The storms were that powerful it was hard to believe such an old tree would get uprooted so furiously.
