Lifes Frustations.

[RUM57L]

Post anything here regarding frustrations in life.. here's mine for the day

So its 16:15hrs and i'm still at work, which is quite odd for me.

Reason being that i'm waiting for a tow truck..

Workshop who did my timing belt, water pump and service last week didnt tighten the crank pulley nut and the whole thing almost let go on the drive way @ work. .faaaarrrk.

so now they are sending a truck to collect it and it'll be fixed tomorrow and yea.. pretty pissed off.

thankyou for listening.

and... I'm supposed to be bottling my CPA this arvo..

but i guess i'm lucky, my missus is coming to pick me up so i dont have to sit it the truck with a stranger for 80ks while my blood quietly boils

Golf today.

20 points on front nine (2 shots better than handicap).
9 points on back nine (9 shots worse than handicap).
Go figure.

To paraphrase Churchill:
Golf, never in the field of human endeavour has so much frustration been designed by so few for so many.

Currently funemployed.

Looking for a job outside the main industry of your work history sucks balls. As does applying for university for next year as an old bastard. You have to keep telling them why you want to study. "Uh, I don't really - can you just give me the degree now? Save us both some time?"

What you wanting to study Bum ?


Crank pulley coming loose !!!
Make sure they cover you for any near future leaks / vibrations mate, and hope like hell the stub on the crank isnt damaged.
I would be spewin !


Frustrations...
Hangin on a phone all day answering questions that are clearly answered in a manual that I spent countless hours writing
Ask first, read manual later - (but I'm propbably just as bad, so shouldnt whinge too much)...


Will be cheered up when I get home and keg a DSGA.

What you wanting to study Bum ?

Bachelor of IT. "Wanting" is a strong word but we must be pragmatic.

[SuperBroo]

WOW - Techo stuff...

Good luck... er... thats if you want it

not sure if you're keen on this or being pushed into it ?

[Chris]

There's always a grad cert from Ballarat worth doing...

The a sale of a block I land I own was meant to go unconditional today and the buyers have asked for a second extension( not looking good) . This sale w/could take me out of some serious debt.

Employing people who say they can do what i need them too, then they can't. Want a job Bum?

[Bum]

Sounds good. I can do whatever it is you're asking me to do.

Promise.

not sure if you're keen on this or being pushed into it ?

Not keen on going 3 years without pay and spending it with 20yo MMORPG playing virgins but I am looking forward to doing something I haven't been pushed into (i.e. as opposed to the entirety of my working life (family business)). Was more a post about the nature of study rather than the end result. Quite excited about it while trying not to get my hopes up (it looks kinda hard to get into the programs I want at my age without industry experience, but we'll see).

Oh yeah, my sister and her son just moved in with us and he cries all night. It is only early days and I know he'll settle in but I haven't been sleeping real well already and don't push me 'cos I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head uh-huh-huh-huh.

[Chris]

Did you forget to buy the nappies?

[rotten]

Promise.

That's what they all say

he cries all night

I feel for ya during these tough times, mine don't cry anymore (at night)
WOOHOO

Hey Warra,

The upside is your out there playing golf in the sunshine, having a bad score is a let down though hope next time your on the greens you pick up your handicap.

Hey Bum,

I got spots in Sydney if you were interested in risk management, only thing is you'd need certs within a few weeks.

Hopefully it'll work out all good for you Hirns, what size land is it?

Ah uni, how i miss you.

I spent 9 years at uni and when i got my first real pay packet it felt weird. Particularly when i was working at a uni and doing basically the same 'work' as i had before as a student for a pittance. Looking back i don't know how i managed to live so well on $300 a week. Most of it was pissed against the wall

I seriously considered the course at Ballarat several months ago when it became increasingly obvious that i was only going to receive 6 month contracts rather than a full time position. Have stuck it out as i love my job just not the lack of job security.

Golf - one of the most frustrating yet enjoyable games. Thankfully for this occasional weekend hacker it only takes a decent tee shot, a good chip and a long put to keep me coming back despite the overall score!

And Bum, not all IT students/grads are 20 year old pimply face nerds with poor social skills..... Linky

[Bum]

Exception proving the rule, DrS? Nah, I am looking forward to it but it is going to be pretty hard to convince the interview panel for the course I most want to be in that I'll be able to keep up. We'll see.

Cheers, RUMS. Very kind of you but Sydney is a bit of a hike. SWMBO moved away from her family so we could be near mine - a move would not go down well. Depending on your industry I'm probably halfway ticketed to that already though (got about 60% of a OH&S Cert IV in various tickets).

[speedie]

That’s what we need a safe alcohol consuming IT man that would be self-employed
With all manner of certs!

[Bum]

Cool?

[speedie]

warra a good friend of mine said that golf was ok but why? spoil a walk
cheers and will have a crack at wiezen at you posted
