During night shift, in winter, the shift is 14 hours long.

They pay somewhat of a premium for night shift, but not that much. I
think they have a difficulty sourcing nubile young bints out there.

> Better not mention Lattes 'out there'

It is a dangerous maneuvour, isn't it?

The job interview was a videoconference. They hired me despite my
hair.

You'll be sorry you asked. Coona is about a day's drive from Brissie
and I'm always phoning motels around there. Trade you a loungeroom
floor for a meal at the pizza shop?

I hear Coona has some mighty dangerous round-a-bouts...

Dunno 'bout that, but it has got a traffic light now. It's not like
it actually needs one. Peak hour is when 5 cars go down the main
street followed by a kangaroo.

Hi there,

As an ex-MSSSO employee (I was there when we built the 2.3m) I hope you
enjoy SSO. GREAT walking. GREAT MTBing. And a fairly active road
community (given the size of Coona).

Good luck.
