I worked at NML at west lindfield for years. That facility was built at great expense in the 70's to house and maintain the national measurement standards.
In order to routinely measure to parts in ten million and occasionally much higher we needed stability, including long histories of the instruments in one location.
Then a smart a$%^ manager decided he preferred living in melbourne and a whole load of stuff got moved down there.
Real smart. So clever. Decades of patient work out the window.
Not that I'm bitter...Sigh...
Sorry to be so negative. I spent last month in hospital and am still quite sick, but I also get annoyed when people I used to work with dedicate a lifetime to perfecting our standards only to get it all flushed on a whim.
I'm happy your son has a job with them. CSIRO isn't the organization it once was but it's probably still a pretty good job for the right person ( incredibly fussy on details ).I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.
We live in a free country. We have freedom of choice. You can choose to agree with me, or you can choose to be wrong.
Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?

Its ON
Hi Guys
Its on this coming Thursday 1/153 Bertie St Port Melbourne.
My Son would like to start the tour at 1430 so I suggest that we meet there around 1400 so that we can all meet each other and also have a little leeway for traffic hold-ups etc.
Please let me know that you are coming. He is expecting about 12 people
