Wow, no wonder apple stocks took a nose dive today.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/05/us/obit-...dex.html?hpt=T1

Well, arent we the insolent turd of the day.

Steve jobs would not leave apple without having the right people in place and instilling his management style in order for them to succeed in the event he has to step down.

So apple would still be doing fine in the next 2 years but after that is anyones guess.

Whatever floats your boat dude......
Guess someone is in need of an anger management workshop.

I think that best describes his life, through the products that was developed by him and used and love by the people.

Since its an internship, she mind co-op with another person? I would suggest co-op with a airline steward since their not at home most of the time due to the nature of their work.

Btw, a friend of mine e-mailed me this photo, freaking hilarious and disturbing at the same time.

I can make a few calls, the only prob is airline stewards stay around areas like pasir ris and tampines. Is the duration of the stay around 3 months?

With people like you around, i doubt there will be much confusion or they can just simply enquire skype on number availability as you have.

Added on October 8, 2011, 3:36 pmSIA stewards are quite liberal about things, plus they do employ homosexuals so a guy co-op with another dude is a non-issue.

Thats a misgiven. I personally know guys who only have a high school diploma but their making around 10-15K a month in the marine and OnG services line. But their independent contractors.

Most people can do the work, the issue is "if" they want to. But who can blame when kids nowadays are a pampered lot and they have access to third world labour to do work which they are more then able to but prefer not to.

Either start your own company and be your own boss or work in an executive management position if you want a high salary. I too had a "desk job" but the pay sucked and sitting in a room with four walls and looking into the computer all day long was very tedious for me so i switched careers due to boredom in an office environment.

Err, deepwater horizon would beg to differ.

Every work place has its risk. Even in an office setting. And its not arrogance that he's speaking but hopefully from experience.

There are different levels of risk when your on an oil rig, a rig which is currently "drilling" is more at risk compared to a rig which is "warm stacked" or "cold stacked".

Its premature to say all oil and gas operations are high risk.

Pulau bukum is the exception though, it would be interesting to see what the investigation team found out about the cause of the fire, plus no employees on the island was hurt except for a few firefighters.

Depends on what skills is your company supplying to your clients. Say your doing professional services like inspections, auditing, risk management then its not so bad.

Of course your gonna get manipulated/bullied by the client. At jurong island, you can see this everyday when the exxonmobil supervisor scold/yell at the contract fitters and welders to do their work.

Dynamac isnt an OnG firm, more of specialised frabrication company. Like alpine engineering or some other third party outsource manpower company, your gonna get bullied by the owners (aka SBM, petrobas, exxonmobil, transocean and various shipyards where you will be working at).

Setsco inspection is somewhat similiar to my previous company where there offer professional inspection services which may entail ndt inspection, RA, visual inspection, tank inspection, corrosion inspection etc.

From personal experience, you gain alot more experience and expertise in an inspection services company since your not limited to just one method of inspection but the a plethora of inspection methods. Plus you get to meet with potential employers. Like how i got my current job was through working with them as a sub-contract inspector.

He's not working for setsco.

Ever heard of noble corporation?

Your not working for exxon lar. You just starting out so sure exxon wont give 2 farts about who you are since your their contractor. So effectively, this make you their B****.

How is it that working for setsco on contract to exxonmobil effectively makes you an employee of exxonmobil?

Actually im referring to this company.

http://www.noblecorp.com/

In my previous job, i did a few projects onboard their rigs and incidentally on their competitor (Frontier Drilling) who was bought over by noble. Their very safety oriented onboard most if not all of their rigs, especially those under shell. On most rigs, you dont usually need to go through the basic safety course since they assume who already know the procedure but not for noble, once you set onto their rigs, the first thing you do is you need to attend their 2 hour long comprehensive safety orientation conducted by the resident safety officer who doubles up as the ship/rig medic.

Like they say, nothing which is easy is ever worth doing.

Btw, get yourself a good pair of gloves and comfortable safety shoes. Coz unless your just supervising with a pen and paper on the site. You may need to climb and other physical activities which involves you using either your hands or your feet.

Its best to get the 2 items i mentioned since most subi's give crap gloves and even crap safety shoes which meet the company budget allowance rather then providing something good for their workers.

Certain shell contractors are given either kings or nitti safety shoes which are the equivalent of bangla footwear. Get yourself a better pair, they usually cost around $150 a pair for a decent brand.

I have the 2260's which i mainly use in the office or for meetings, i rarely use those on the field since red wings are very expensive to replace on a yearly basis. When im working, i usually use the jallate jalirok. Not as expensive as red wings and they get the job done.

Some of my colleagues personally like the timberland pro or CAT safety shoes but CAT's sole is so tough that it borders on being inflexible.

Around $150 for the jallate jalirok from durasafe singapore, but unfortunately it seems that their discontinuing this particular model, so they have only ex stock since they finished size 8's.
