My boss has sent an email requesting every staff member take one container from the fridge (other peoples containers, left in there for who knows how long), and wash it. Um, no. I'm not cleaning up other peoples nasty food containers that have been in there for weeks on end.

Should make everyone put a date on their container when it goes in the fridge. Then make a rule that anything found in there more than a fortnight old gets binned.

My company isn't fond of initiative sadly, something that simple seems beyond their comprehension.

what sort of fitness ?

Army BFA. I should make that more clear somehow, every time I bring up work or fitness people always ask. Nobody remembers the ad that I got my location from, but most defence ads are embarrasing... especially that last reserve one... so that's probably for the best.

It wasn't real brilliant, of all the things that reserves do that would have made great propaganda they chose that.

I've been looking at property and noticed how 'scummy' some real estate agents can be straight from the beginning. This is just one I noticed in a list.

Small things like that make me wonder how reliable the rest of the listings are.

Could be an honest mistake...

We get alot of your guy up here on training, fun part of having AJ's around = wife gets cracked onto continuously, best part = the reaction when they see the size of me and state i'll bounce them

Almost feel bad for local mechanic, asked to identify problem with car (computer error kicked it into limp mode)..
An hour later problem found and fixed.
Yeah.. No.
Asked you to FIND the problem as I dont have the diagnostic computer to do it.
Guess next time hes asked to find the problem then he will call before fixing.

[diamondd]

how much did he want for it? If you wanted him to diagnose your problem for free so you could go home and fix it yourself you're kidding yourself.

one very sick kitty with suspected bronchitis hopefully that's all it is and these meds work soon for her.

Yeah, a lot of the guy's are like that it seems. But it's a cross-section of society, just a more visible and easier identified one. Good thing about being both a soldier and a martial artist though is that I don't have to be afraid of blokes your size because I can still pick you up and throw you
Shame I'm too much of a shut-in to hit on your wife

Seriously though, after my attempts at dating the past 2 or so months I've lost interest again. One took me to run an errand on our first date and then friend zoned me straight after, another just simply won't respond to my attempts at contact now (also after first date, I'm not even sure why), and the third we both just kind of got bored of each other it seems. My enthusiasm for women has gone down the drain, and I've got no interest in swinging the other way so I guess I'll just go back to doing other more interesting things.

On another note, SUCCESS! Finally, after almost 2 weeks of online roleplay I managed to meet the guy I hold responsible for turning me into a brony. Yes, I like purple unicorns, but I can also put a hole in a target at 500 paces and dump someone twice my size on their head, what of it?

Finally, my fingers aren't working properly at the moment, because I just spent the last hour out in freezing cold. I blame that and a sugar overload on the noobish and out-of-character style of this post. Thank you, and good night.

$65 to diganose it.
Computer says went to limp mode as it did not recieve feedback from electronic throttle.
However problem has resolved itself.
Possible dirty terminal.

At this point I expect a phone call... nope.
Additional $65 to "fix" it.
Yeah no.
They were asked to hook it up and tell me what the error code was. I was already assuming it was throttle (due to previous issues with it) and had told them as much. Just wanted to know for sure as it had just had its 100,000km service.
Maybe someone had a bad day while working on it.. Maybe something had randomly died.
When asked why did you do the work without asking... their response.. most people ask us why we didnt fix it if we found the problem.
Most people bring a car in and say "it dont go, fix it".. I brought a car in, Said it lost all throttle response going down a hill, I reset the computer, the error code is still showing up and I want to know what it is.
If they had bothered to call me and ask I might have said fix it but then Ive got the next 3 days where the car isnt needed, a full workshop at my disposal (minus the scantool to check for the computer error codes) and a veteran mechanic with 30 years experence avalible free of charge if I have any problems fixing it myself.

On a side note the wife woke me up at 3am cause she heard noises outside.. and now its 5:30am and I still cant sleep.
ARRRRGH!

My boss has released a new idiot policy that I'm feeling the effects of this morning, whenever a staff member rings in sick, we now work down staff rather than calling someone in. Today that means I am the only call centre staff for my entire company It's going to be a shite day.

**** had better not complain about abandoned calls.

vet yesterday.. 60 bucks instead of the first-thought of 400.. Cat has suspected Bronchitis, so she's on Prednisone and goes back next week for a checkup. If that doesn't work, then it's 400 bucks later for xrays and bloodwork. BUT lastnight was the first night she didn't have a coughing attack.. so really hoping it's that and not heart failure as first suspected.

ARRGHH I has the flu.
