      i wish, they just spent a few grand and disappeared :lol:

  3. Rent is going up again. This is insane. AUGH

  4. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one working in this company lmao.

      Welcome to my world!
      I have one member of staff on long-term sick leave, and she plans to  move to a new role immediately she gets back but until that is formalised, I can't recruit.
      The other member of the team is very pregnant and on leave from 6 weeks time (assuming nothing happens before). She may be out for 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months... And I cannot recruit to replace her. She is also very specialist in what she does, and works part time. So finding someone to fill that role - temporarily - is incredibly unlikely.
      In the meantime, the business wants more and more from the IT and IS function!

      you should get paid double Graham. Hold the company to ransom. (I am trying to but I am very replaceable :LOL:)

      Paid double? I work at a council! Probably lucky to be paid at all! ;) 

      Actually - I do like my job. And I'm fortunate enough that I can make changes to the way things are done for the benefit of everyone.

  5. First word Problems, but the bosses are hogging the Veuve Clicquot... 

  6. :sigh: another blow, lost a bid for a merc, my back up vw got sold. and the only x5 i'd look at has serious juddering issues.

      While waiting is painful and sometimes difficult, purchase in haste and repent at leisure.

      wise words sir, potentially disastrous, but better to regret what one has done...

      Regret doing something; don't regret not doing something. ?

  7. :sigh: wanted to send flowers to a crush, but clearly the universe is against me as my cards are declined. 

  8. I keep missing the forest for the trees. sometimes luck is about taking chances. 

  9. HAH! Co-worker is planning to resign this week. Probably resents me for my long holiday

  10. :sigh:... none of the backorders I had scheduled to be sent out when I was away did get sent out.... nothing gets done without me....

      You're important! 

       

  11. What on earth is going on on these forums?

  12. I have until the first week of December to find a car.... too much time and the lust isn't abated, will i be on the edge for the next 5 months? 

    1. BozzaFC

      BozzaFC

      What sort of car are you after?

    2. lord_jagganath

      lord_jagganath

      that's the best part, i don't know. ideally diesel, would be a clean F11 or a E70 X5, or any E or ML, but would be reluctant to go over 20k. i suppose i could turn the thumbscrews down on dealers in November/December when they are under pressure to sell. 

  13. Truly a first world problem this... Can't Withdraw Kiwisaver for house deposit because I make (just barely) too much money, but it isn't enough to offset rental and living costs in Auckland that it is next to impossible to save up for a deposit without risking health of family. 

  14. Thank the gods, the car can be repaired!

      I was told wrong. ?

  18. Being denied an inheritance sucks. especially when it involves a BMW. :sigh:

      must have been a cruel cruel one. I can hardly remember. 

  19. Just Had a Flat Tyre: Story of My Life. WONDERFUL! 

  20. I'm due a long holiday!

  21. Happy New Year all! may the new year be filled with the good oil and easy maintenance. 

  22. sooooo, there is balance in all things. the rent went up again, bringing the total increase in the last year up to 80 dollars a week. So, when can we start eating the rich and landlords?

      Not yet. Wait 'til they're fat and juicy.

  23. Sigh. CC.

      all good here, mate. just a bruised ego and a car up in the workshop.  seems to be cosmetic.
