Work Experiance at toyota

[xyfalconsrock]

Today I started my first ever work experiance at toyota motor company in Australia, at the Altona plant.Today all i did was do a short test in the morning then I moved out to the sevicing department.

At the servicing department 1 mechanic was working and I helped him detail the new cars that came off the trucks. This included a 2004 Kluger,old shape lexus IS something(V8),new lexus IS430 and a camry sportivo.

The best time was with the two V8 lexus, we drove just around the plant doing burnouts and sliding out the rear.(if its not yours, who cares?)

Anywho I'm going in there tomorrow and I think I'm doing the same mabye some light servicing. Then moving on to other things later in the week.I'll keep you all updated if you want.

P.S DAMN I REALLY WANTED TO HAVE MY LISCENCE TODAY!!!!!!

...year 10?

I did my year 10 work experience at a mechanics place, it kicked ass

I also did my year 11 Information Techonolgy at a hospital (??) I saw a Lamborghini parked in the car park on the last day! I've seen it like twice, three times since (third time unconfirmed it was the same car)

[xyfalconsrock]

Yes, i'm in year 10.

Today I did absoulutly fuck all. I watched mechanics do stuff and swept up shit.

The only good things were swearing my head off, and laughing with these guys coz their quite funny.

The only showing of skill was one guys shot water 2 feet out the exaust of a new landcruiser(at about 6000rpm.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better, I'm going to the assembly plant.

P.S I will always love aussie muscle, ok taranaki?

[taranaki]

Aussie muscle is an oxymoron.

Boring as hell today.
Sat at a desk for the whole day.
Did about 1 hours worth of office work.
did have a short tour of the assembly line, where they make left hand and right hand drive camrys.

P.S Aussie Muscle isn't an oxymoron

Is too.

I have been told that assembly line workers at automotive plants get treated very well because the work is so boring that otherwise there is a high occurance of worker unhappyness. Any comment?

The guys/girls on the assembly line seem to be quite content, even though they do the same thingt over and over and over again.And this music comes on every 5 or so minutes, its classical but its played like its being played by a computer with shit sound.The robots are cool, I watchedtwo for about 3 minutes.

A friend of mine worked for TMMC (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada) a.k.a. Trained Monkeys Make Cars.

He said it was hell on earth and hated every minute of it. The management are picky pricks, the company happily abuses workers until they have permanent repetitive strain injuries (as he still has), then they are fired, and there are countless horrofic safety violations.

Everyone there calls the plant The Three Rings of Satan (a play on the Toyota logo).

They pay well, though, which helps attract needed replacements, because so many people quit or are fired when they are so screwed up they cannot work.
