What's made you grumpy today?

[JustAndy]

Main thing is you have a job thats the way id look at that

I havnt had a job in over 2 years, apply everywhere but no replies. A truly miserable situation

Thats very true, the times that i have just wanted to walk out and tell everyone to just f off is un countable but then i realise that without a job i would be up a certain creek without a paddle and that if i quit i wouldnt even be able to claim job seekers which wouldnt be good so ive stuck it out. I feel for you, i was un employed after i quit college for a few months and i was so miserable, no money, nothing to do all day and you apply everywhere and no one even replies to you which i think is wrong, they could at least ring you up and say sorry but we have chosen some one else

Been in my tmp job for 9 years, but for a couple of weeks
Currently looking for a work placement for my degree, so hopefully I'll be leaving soon.

Which also means I've been applying to places (mostly speculatively, as most don't advertise internships/placements) - 40 sent, 12 replies, only one positive but that's not progressing at the mo as they are busy catching up for a deadline.

Starting to look like I'm going to have to take one elsewhere what would be semi-related to the award I'm on instead, but not ideal

Think my car has been clocked.

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/Mot/DG_10020539

My MOT mileage goes from 99,360 in 2007, 119,832 in 2008 to 94,647 in 2009.

Will remember to check that next time I'm buying a new car!

Person put a different clock cluster in? ive done this to mine so mine reads like 68k - 96k in less than a few months.

 

[Eklipze3k]

Either that or the car had an idiot MOT tester (like mine this year) who put in completely the wrong mileage, and previous owner didn't pick up on it.

 

[Earandir]

Phone not receiving any messages, which is leaving the missus quite angry... Oh, and add a sh*tload of paperwork on top of that... :bang:

 

[m20b25]

Car is still running dreadfully. Waiting on a car to come back till I get back to my usual business

 

[BlueDan]

Some ringpiece at the BBC has remotely broken get_iplayer AGAIN, I only want to cache stuff to listen to at work once, then delete, so T-Mobile won't go mental over data use.

had to give my parking spot away to an old lady after id already parked and got out, there were two others about two cars further up the road but she said;

"i was hoping to park there so it wasnt as far to walk"

although it was only about 20 paces to the next space...
i reversed up the road into one of the other spaces, got out and walked past her, she was busy putting a disabled badge in the window - even though it was free parking!

surely she couldda parked infront of me on the double yellows with her silly badge and it wouldda be five less steps to where she was going

GAHHHH

Trying to apply for a placement though my University's website.

Filled in a PDF form (eh?) and clicked submit. Straight to a MS OLE DB error.

FF, IE, two computers, the same.

It is a faculty of computing, engineering and technology.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Still, no nice cars being sold and I have resorted to bidding/haggling on Vtec Civics.

I really want italian, mainly a mk1 sporting. But there aren't any that are good enough for the price they are being sold at.

Pulling my hair out over this. Been looking pretty much non stop (while I am awake) for the past 4 days and still can't find anything.
