Rant and Rave

[Wyvern]

I think you need to be brave and take your flatmate aside and have a word. Perhaps you could see if it's bothering the other people you live with, and if it is, you could all bring it up with her. Explain that you aren't being a bitch, and that you do like her boyfriend, point out the things you do like about him... and then explain that you are just uncomfortable with him being quite so candid and you'd appreciate a little consideration. It is possible she might get a bit stroppy, but then again, if you don't say anything, they won't know

[Wyvern]

Gah! I've put my sodding phone down somewhere and I can't find it. And it's on silent

[TheDaisy]

Turn the lights off and ring it - you might see it light up

Sorry ladies... just popped in for a *scream*

'Workmate' became a friend on FB, she's a nice girl, but in the past she has been the 'black sheep' of the office, skiving off, and phoning in sick all the time, but she's mended her ways... now, she's like the 'prodigal daughter' of the boss, who's treating her like bloomin' gold, totally ignoring those hard-working members of staff (ok, me) who've been working their little backsides off for years... now all I ever see is her posting on FB about how much work she has, or how many files she has taken home... and I feel like screaming... 'Get over it!... You've taken the work home, done long hours etc, so stop ****ing moaning!... 'I don't get paid enough to do that!'

*takes deep breath* Sorry again, there's just nowhere else I can vent this

[jacqui]

If a particular person comes and tells me how to do my job one more time i will give him my badge and leave

[bogiesandtenders]

The evil little sh*t who took my phone number and placed it in an arcade so as I would get calls all evening asking for free plays in a Leicester Casino, get my hands on the a*s*w*pe and i'll swing for this barsteward. If any of you ever play in Casino's make sure that the company have a policy whereby they don't sell phone numbers on to others.

Finally managed to purchase my March edition of the TG mag (UK Edition) yesterday and there is a page missing.... page 35 & 36 which has Richard's column on it GRRRRRRR

I have to pay almost double what you pay in the UK for it (almost £7.50 here) and can not always get the UK edition - I don't buy it unless it is the UK version - so don't have the availability to get it every month.... and now when I do get it some of it is missing!!!!!



do feel slightly better now I have shared

still miffed though

[eshalda]

I'd be very miffed, paying that price for an incomplete mag. You have every reason to rant and rave.

Nipped to the supermarket of the devil yesterday (Tescos) and somehow managed to lose my 11 year old beloved RayBans I retraced my steps (hadn't bought much) but they were nowhere to be found. I told Customer Services and left my phone number but was sure I would never see them again. To add to my misery, I got back to the truck and saw that someone had wanged into it just near one of the front fogs Didn't happen at Tescos (I know that because of how and where I was parked) but I'm pretty sure it was done in the carpark at work. I'll be looking for a green motor tomorrow morning Good news is that I got a call from Tesco this morning to say that they had found my sunnies ;D ;D Feel a bit better now

[From Afar]

Well done Tesco's

Sorry to hear about the truck though Inky :-(

[inky]

Thanks Afar. Some eejit reversed into it less than a month after I bought it and didn't bother to leave their details I'll wait until July (2 years after the last incident) and then see if I can claim off the insurance (don't want to lose the No Claims). How can you miss a huge black, 17 ft long, 3 ton vehicle? It hardly merges into the background. They must have been blind

Maybe your truck suffers with the "Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak" syndrome that my Hummer has some days..... I know the driving here is mad but really how can you not see a Hummer coming at you and still pull out???

[honilia]

ARGH!!!

The guy downstairs music is actually going to make me scream soon, I don't know how much more I can take......


EDIT: Ha ha! The guy downstairs has been threatened with eviction if he does it again.....and all is silent....YAY!

[nobody]

Agency's they know i do not drive they also know i don't live in the town where the agency's taxi picks people up so if they have work for me which is not on a bus route they should know that ringing me up and asking me to be at the pick up point in 3 minutes is impossible. ahhh

[Wyvern]

Gah! Bloody, *$%ing, sodding speed bumps! I was just on my way home from the supermarket with a bootful of shopping and I thought Gerald's wheelbase really isn't quite wide enough for these speed bumps. About 50 yards after I had that thought, there was a clatter and a roar and Gerald's exhaust came away in a spectacular fashion. So this evening I have not watched Doctor Who but I have spent a delightful hour by the side of the road freezing my bits off and had a ride on a recovery truck (again). Thank goodness for Very Nice Men (this one hopped out of the truck, took one look and said - guess what? - Oh, I used to have one of those, and then I got a Vitesse...) and for our own Very Nice Mayfayre, who rescued me.

But grr... I knew the exhaust would need doing for the MOT, but I had hoped to do it at a time that was mutually convenient for me and the mechanic, and preferably AFTER the student loan came in.

Arse. Arse, arse, ARSE.

[Mayfayre]

Here is Gerald in what appears to be his natural habitat...

At least he's keeping the mileage down ;D ;D

[eshalda]

He looks rather noble up there and will be getting a granstand view, all this of course, is of no consolation to you Wy. Hope you get the funds to repair Gerald soon.

[From Afar]

Gerald is SOOOOO cute!!!!! Hope he's better soon. xxxxxx

[dit]

He's an absolute beauty! Here comes the inevitable - I used to have one in my youth. It was dark red and white, and the roof was rubbish but I loved it dearly (as I have nearly all my cars). Can't remember now why I parted with it, but it was probably on the grounds of age (the car's, not mine).

[Wyvern]

He is gorgeous and I love him very much, but I really do wish he wouldn't keep going wrong

[xjsarah]

I'm all too familiar with recovery trucks and Very Nice Men, so you have my sympathy. What a bummer! *hugs*

[Shortie]

Poor Gerald. Poor you. Can you make a claim on the council if your car is damaged by a speed bump, or is that just pot-holes?

[Wyvern]

I think that's just for poorly maintained roads rather than ones that have nasty speed bumps that do what they're designed to, and bugger your car up Still, my mechanic managed to get it back on, so it wasn't too bad this time. It won't last indefinitely, but at least I can use my car again.

[nobody]

I had a friend who lost her exhaust because their was a pot hole right next to a speed bump.

[lew]

Tis not funny, I do feel for poor wy I don't think anything is safe from those things, they have damaged my car and it's a MPV, for anything as precious as wy's or a sport's car you've had it

[From Afar]

My boss is really annoying me right now, she's in a different country so we communicate via email due to cost of phone calles etc.... well she's just sent me a huge email about "concerns" she has about a few things "I haven't done" but if she actually bothered to read the emails I have sent her over the last 24 hours she would see that the items have already been dealt with

Also previously she asked me not to handle a certain part of our client follow up process myself (as it was too administrative for me to be handling as I'm managing the branch) and now she's just sent me another email saying that it's worrying her that I'm not doing that part myself and next time she's here she really needs to sit down with me and sort it out..... for goodness sake I wish she would make her mind up

I'm SOOOOO mad right now I can't reply to her as I'm sure I wll say something I will regret

[jacqui]

*hugs* Afar

Step back and draw breath you wouldn't as you say want to say something you might regret and you never know in that time she may catch up with her emails

Hope you get it sorted

Thanks Jacqui, hugs much appreciated

I think I will wait until tomorrow to reply as it's 4.40pm here now and home time in 20 mins..... best to "sleep on it" and calm down I think so I can formulate a sensible reply instead of ranting back at her!
