Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

Sorry - I'm here!!

Just trying to find out who is taking donations for the Toodyay Fire Victims....

A lot of people lost their homes, everything! I've got a heap of clothes and soft toys and some household stuff that I don't need. But just trying to find out where I can take it! Hopefully it will be of some use to someone!

And yay, I hope my new siggy stays :)

Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

That's wonderful you have things to donate Nay, it always helps so much for people :wub:

Hey did you all see this on tv? They have it as one of the top US stories now too... totally proud the Aussies did a really wonderful thing :clapping:

Australian media crews pull baby from Haiti rubble

SYDNEY (AFP) – Rival Australian news crews said Monday that saving a life came before doing their jobs when they rescued an 18-month-old baby from underneath the rubble in earthquake devastated Haiti.

The little girl was lying alongside the bodies of her dead parents who were killed in the 7.0 magnitude earthquake which hit Port-au-Prince on January 12 when the camera crews heard her moans and began to dig her out on Friday.

Richard Moran, a cameraman with the commercial Nine Network, put down his camera and lifted pieces of concrete out of the way while Nine's interpreter and fixer Deiby Celestino climbed into the tangled mess to retrieve the child.

"And then, out of the ruins came this little girl, and I will never forget it. She did not cry. She looked astonished, almost as if she was seeing the world for the first time," Nine reporter Robert Penfold told The Australian.

The images of the child's rescue were captured by Nine's major rival Seven, and footage beamed around the world showed the network's correspondent Mike Amor holding the dusty little girl and giving her water.

"That moment, it was beyond news," Amor said. "I haven't seen anything so remarkable since the birth of my own child. The emotion for all of us has been incredible."

Amor said the news crews and the locals who had helped locate the girl were concentrated on rescuing the child rather than news priorities.

"The focus of everybody on that hill was the little girl, and as any of us will tell you, it was Deiby who went into that hole, and dug, and dug, until he got that little girl out. He's the hero," he told The Australian.

Channel Nine's news director Mark Calvert said while disasters can sometimes bring out the very worst in journalists, they can also produce the best.

"I'm proud of the Nine News team, who put the welfare of the little girl before their own safety, and placed their personal convictions before professional pressures," he said in a statement to AFP.

"Yes, they put down their camera to help. But they also filed their story. And most importantly, they helped save a life."

Hang on the for a second review this raw footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIpze8Dno40 and you will clearly see Mike Amor (Channel Seven) getting given the baby.
 
Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

Yes he blew himself up :lmao:

Now we are not alone :shifty:

I know the article did sort of say they all worked together... I was assuming at some point both crews helped somehow? I saw the vid on tv yesturday but wasn't paying complete attention to who was who...
Will watch though!
 
Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

^ I still gotta watch the vid.... got distracted....

-my brother called from the States and he just started the same course I'll be taking in school later this year.... he's totally freaking out already :p He is taking it only because in the state of Wisconsin you have to have EMT-B to be a fireman (unlike australia where i don't believe fireman have any paramedic training). He's only doing it cuz he has to so it's not very enjoyable for him. He has 2 four hour classes a week (along with having three jobs right now :blink: ) and he's been in the course one week and they are already on chapter FIVE... talk about going too fast! So anyhow I was sort of calming him down and going through a few things with him since we have the same books. :)

-then we went shopping. Out of nowhere I decided, if you can make beef stroganoff... surely you can make tuna stroganoff right? So that's what I'm doing. Needed sour cream though ;)

-then we came back and my friend had found a really funny like five minute video from when we drank SO much the other day/evening and so we watched it, much to my HORROR lol. OMG they are not allowed to let me get plastered and then take video!! I was running around with my black MJ hat on with Dangerous playing and being a total spaz :lmao: It was very embarrassing......... :blink: :blink:

So now off to make dinner........ will take pics :D

BBL :waving:
 
Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

Well, I got offered a job a few weeks ago in Perth...so I quit all my jobs down here. Recieved contracts, sent them back, then got a call "Hey, got your contracts....may not have a job for you anymore"

Got replaced by my current jobs...hung around waiting for a week and a half, got a call today "yeh, sorry - don't have a job for you, but I will keep you in mind if something comes up"

Ok...is it just me...or is there something quite not right about that??!?

When I said "Um..I quit my jobs for you" The response was "Ahhh...shit"

Yeh, that doesn't help me sunshine!!

Grrrr :(
 
Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

aww that sucks :hug: can they do that though? after you sign the contracts isn't it pretty much final and you quit your jobs for them so they'd at least have to find you somewhere else to work wouldn't they??

Apparently they can't but in all honesty a) I can't be arsed trying to do anything about it, because I'm a little over it all! and b) if they are going to screw my around like that, they probably aren't worth working for anyway.

Anyhoo...maybe I should just move to Sydney right now...

Sigh...
 
Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

^^ don't blame you for being over it.. asked my parents and they both said you'd have grounds to take take them to court and get compensation but it would take time and they'd stuff you around and you might come out with nothing so it wouldn't be worth it

Why Sydney??

Yeh, I wouldn't bother - its not worth the stress atm, particularly when everything else in your life isn't going to well haha

I've always loved Sydney :) Always wanted to be there. I'd be there right now if I didn't have a house to sell back here...or be bought out of!

Sydney is so bewdiful :) For now a holiday in Feb will have to do :)
 
Re: AUSSIES! Get in here!

Yeah Nay I agree with Logan's folks that you could take them to court, but also agree it would probably end up being a waste of time... they'd just d^ck you around anyhow...

I think everything having to do with jobs right sucks... they put adds in the paper and on seek saying customer service, so you send your resume right? Then you get a call for an interview. You go in, there like 10 applicants in the same round table interview and then you find it it's like selling insurance or some crap.

I mean, they should specify between actual incoming call customer service and outbound cold sales calls.... I ain't being no obnoxious telemarketer :rant:

I wanna help people not swindle them :ph34r:

So yeah, I'm feelin your pain :hug:

Pasta is cookin now....... everything is starting to smell so good!!!!
