I don’t care about low speed limits.
I care about speed traps where the limit is clearly set too low for the road and you get induced to go over easy as.
That along with a thousand road signs telling you different things.
I live one top of a hill and there is regularly a speed camera car that sets up just around the corner where it gets cars that go over the 50kph on the downhill. Whenever I see it parked there on my way home I park my car directly behind it as close as possible and then walk home around the corner. Go back 15 minutes later and it is gone.
It’s a fun game we play.

My best Mate was CEO at VicRoads and every gathering of friends he would cop it roundly about speed limits.
So he rocked up one time with his laptop with a traffic flow computer program that VicRoads uses to “optimise” traffic flow. It showed that lowering speed to 80 kph on freeways improved traffic flow most times of the day.
Now Gazza was a clever bloke, highly qualified civil engineer, had worked at VicRoads all his life and believed what he said. Of course the rest of us were smarter, and couldn’t accept it, as the reality is that the computer model assumes all Drivers have the same brain.

Recruiters who waste your time.
Seriously?
Is too hard to:
- Get your ■■■■ together before you start a process.
- Not lie about something that you ■■■■■■ up.
- Gaslight people.

4…That you actually had a job in the first place.
5… That I spoke to you about 18m ago about a role at this company unrelated to the role I’ve just started so no, you don’t farking qualify for a finder’s fee…
There’s plenty I could say about recruiters… Mum always taught me that if you can’t say something nice, then say nothing. So in this case I’ll say absolutely nothing…

After saying I was out of the process, they’ve now asked me to recommence my interviews…
FFS
And these clowns are going to make a ■■■■ load off placing anyone in the role.
recruiters are ■■■■ until you become involved with a good one, then they can work incredibly well for you.
Like HR… or Project Managers…
You have to deal with 99 useless ones, until you find a good one. And when you do find a good one, by jesus don’t you know it…
Agreed.
I have one that is a rock star, but she doesn’t necessarily get the jobs I am interested in.
Most others it’s simply a numbers game, just throwing candidates into the meat grinder.
