Hello ladies and gents!
Apologies for the serious delay in my blog updates, I've had a few emails from you guys with "hurry up and write a new one!!" So I listened....but please blame moving and lack of interesting jobs...seriously.
Factuals.... very interesting, in fact I love it! I've had the pleasure of going out on a few sit in and interviews and even asked questions and gathered some interesting information, and wow do I love hearing the stories, they range from I did nothing to the the other parties going "the dude is a douche" haha. Best part is, everyone lies. I get to use my trained eye of watching facial expressions and their "ticks" and it's like going through a trash can and finding the pieces that matter. I can't wait to start going out there and doing it solo, and oh gosh does my learning in the law and criminology come in handy!! Talk about the balance of probabilities!! Lawyers are loving me ;)
So anyway, a lot of goss about this industry has surfaced (I know what else is knew) and a lot of companies are now wanting their subbies to have a Pty Ltd set up so it's OFFICIAL I'm making my own company!! It's really only so I can get a more variety of work but I can also get a lot more private jobs, which is so great! It's quite exciting! Once the website is up I'll add the link here so you can check it out. I've recently had interviews with two companies who are new in NSW and am actually quite excited to be potentially involved with them.
So anyway I came across an add the other day that I can't quite wrap my head around;
-Wanted subbies.... ok yup check
-Pty Ltd set up .... ok uhuh getting on that
- Own insurance ... well that's a given
- Own WorkCover ..... huh??
Ok so you are your own subcontractor, for your own company, so you get WorkCover, and from my understanding the insurer and the employer make contributions... so ok let's think about this, you are your own company, you employ yourself, you get injured....if you're injured and need workers comp technically wouldn't you have to keep working to support your inured self that needs workers comp?? I had to laugh also wonder what would happen if WorkCover went to an investigation company wanting surveillance on a compo situation where the worker is an investigator :/ be quite odd right??
It's actually quite amusing reading some job ads, I've found some with "Wanted Secretary, ... must be proficient in egnish and have grate writing skills" and you can't help but laugh and think gosh is it the position of the person that wrote the add that they want to fill?
On a side note, something completely off the track of investigation, I am quite concerned with the intelligence level on the youth of Australia... the other night, a school night I might add, my partner received a lot of prank phone calls. The calls lasted only a few seconds, you'd here a laugh or silence and then they'd hang up. Once or twice you heard a voice, which was female and on the one time my partner asked who it was he got the reply "oh I'm just dialling a bunch of random numbers".
So it's cool, kids do prank phone calls, I remember back in the day (like 10 years ago haha) I would do my own in high school... BUT... I wasn't so stupid cos I remembered to put my number on private!! So my partner gives me the number and of course just out of curiosity I did my searches and then this happened...
*phone rings*
My partner; "Hello"
Caller; giggles.
My partner; "Who is this??"
Caller; more laughing
My partner; "Why do you keep calling me"
Caller; laughter "oh we are just calling random numbers" ... more laughter
My partner; "oh ok yeh that's cool but why do you keep calling mine if they are random?"
Caller; more giggles...
My partner; "I know where you live"
Caller; (stops giggling) "no you don't"
My partner; You live in Queensland.
Caller; silence.
My partner; "You live in Nerang"
Caller; "how do you know that, you don't know where I live"
My partner; 'gives address, and associated numbers to the address'
Caller; "how do you know that?" (now actually scared)
My partner; "Well you've called a private investigator"
Caller; "oh"
My partner; Yeh and you forgot to put your number on private so you're an idiot.
Caller; "oh, oh yeh, f**k... please don't tell my parents"
LOL was actually quite funny. I guess that's what teenagers today would say YOLO to right??
hehe until next time...
