Well how does gggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Sound? What a day I have had. This has happened twice now today and last week.

I try and do the best I can and do what head office ask but unfortunately it's not good enough, today was the last straw. I now need a carrer change from what I am doing at the moment. I am considering going into the plumbing trade. Now I know there is a shortage of plumbers and the goverment needs at least 4,500 plumbers a year to bring up the numbers.

 All i now need is to find out how much the courses are ( hopefully not to much). It has been a very, very bad day and I have had enough gggggrrrrrr

my day was about fallout from the weekend, we have a rule not to deploy any code to production after 12 on a Friday, i was doing it 7pm on Saturday  

It was however a quite profitable weekend

I know where you are coming from, and twice in my retail career, in two separate firms, I told my superior (politely) what they could do with the job!   Never regretted it! 8-) 8-) 8-)!  Always came off better!

So go for it Paul!!

A good day to be honest as i started my new role as Distribution Manager for a large automotive supplier....

[Varche]

change of career might not be too bad a thing. Is there a manager somewhere who is aware of the problems you have been having?

My day has been a mixed bag. Now got all the stuff including the cam locking tool to do by cambelt change starting tomorrow (Codename Project SMALL fear). Finished grouting a swimming pool today- fed up to the back teeth of that job in this heat. It is also the height of the pollen season and for the first time in my life I have hayfever. taking tablets but feel not quite with it. Got the Spanish builders back to fix two "small" problems under gaurantee. After a polite discussion they agreed to do the worst job free and not to do the other one as they feel it isn't their fault. I am just pleased they are doing any of it. I will watch what they do and learn the technique!

Just to be different - It's not a very good time to change.  There might be a shortage of plumbers but the construction industry has most projects on hold for the time being.

I suggest you try to find a way to keep the present job while you plan your way out.

Unless you're rolling in dosh that is!

Hope tomorrow is better.

Spent the day waiting for an engineer from Kister (wrapping machine) to turn up ....... gave up up at 5:00 Oh well! At least I got paid for doing the square root of buger all!        

[Andy B]

......Abbey National as they have royally messed up my banking for the last 4 months. .......

Why am I not surprised!!  :-?    
I moved my mortgage from them years ago cos they couldn't organise a wotsit in a brothel. I moved to Bradford & Bingley ..... who have just been taken over by ...... Abbey!  :-?  :-?  :-?

Well found out today when I checked my payslip online that I am getting £0000.00 pay this week ....cos some idiot put me as unpaid leave on the payment system for April, instead of paid leave

But of course, done a quick e-mail, half an hour later managed to get through to head of payroll, and should get paid by Thursday / Friday at latest, 2 days late, so not that bad...........thing is he told me when I sent the request to delete the April unpaid leave the start date was 31st December to 4th May, which would have meant I got paid 3 months wages .....I said well did'nt my boss check the dates before he approved it ...obviously not

Well just had someone round to talk to me aout the plumbing course with the skills centre. Had a nice chat with him, he went through the course syllabus and how many course's there are and then came the nitty gritty the cost.

Well I am glad I was sitting down, the total cost for all the course form domestic plumbing to central heating installations, boiler installs to building pipework was......................................















A staggering £6000 which gets you everything to become a fully qualified plumber. I was just thinking of doing the advanced plumbing course which enables me to go and do installs of bathroom suites to genral plumbing work and leak detection, which is all I want to do really.
