What Grinds my gears archive B

Thankfully it's only product seminars I end up at. For encouragement to attend, one had the wheeze of issuing "beer vouchers." Thing was this was in a hotel and we quickly discovered where the photocopier was... the rest as they say writes itself

In the end I practically had to carry one of our directors to a taxi

It really grinds my gears that someone in our house is happy to leave a slider in the pan for me to clean. When questioned this morning, nobody was prepared to own up to the deed either. Bastards.

Had a crick in my neck yesterday and just before I went to bed this developed into the biggest arsehole of a
headache. I don't think I managed an hours sleep without being woken up in pain. At 5 am I came down and took
3 paracetamol and managed a few more hours. I feel like crap now and the headache hasn't fully gone yet. It felt
like my my brain had suddenly swollen inside my skull, particularly across my forehead.

[to v or not to v]

the council.
reported a faulty garage door on 2nd Feb. was given a repair date of 11th April.
tried door yesterday and its still not fixed.
called council today and was told that the lying slag repair men claimed they came out and couldnt work out which door was mine- most of the doors are numbered including mine- youd have to be an idiot not to be able to figure it out.
they also claimed to have phoned my contact number and the person who answered had no idea about any garage
ive now been given a new repair date in July.

slags the lot of them!

You rent a lock-up from the council? How lower class of you!

You don't rent a lock up from the council?
How underclass of you.

That's the last time I invite you to my garage.

I still don't want to know what you did when you and Ste wandered up to his house.

I'm not actually upset by this, I just didn't know where else to put this but today something happened to me that's not happened to me before, I offered someone £150,000.00 base salary (which is more than my own base salary) and they told me no thanks I thought I was making an offer above market value too

I'd give you a happy ending daily for half that. You can keep the watch.

I will be sub contracting the oral obligations of the contract.

[Fat Angry Scotsman]

To be honest I much prefer being paid £100,000 salary and having a £50,000 business expense account. I take a lot of customers out for really nice dinners and I only fly business class.

I had to buy a new car battery and I decided to get one of those mini jump starter packs. So thats the best part of £200 splurged.

I do think ive found the source of the battery drain amd the intermittent poor starting. I noticed i had not fully closed the boot and it seems the interior lights have been left on. Might be made worse in wet weather i suspect rain gets into a door or boot switch and creates a short. Ive just removed the two interior light bulbs for the moment and looking into replacing them with LEDS which have a much lower power draw. The old ones are 10w each so two left on overnight on an already old battery was a significant drain.

Im thinking of getting one of those Bluetooth battery monitors to keep an eye on the battery as not sure the interior lights staying on is the whole story. Anyone had any experience with them?

Italy is hardly fucking long haul.

I'm also following the policy, process and guidelines that my organisation provides.
