Well I think I should have knuckled down to the good old DIY jobs on Friday and not get tempted by the evil mistress ………….Harley Davidson , as I had subsequently decided to go and get some oil for my Harley in the car , but guess what the battery was as flat as a pancake !!!, so I got no oil for the bike or indeed any painting done , as I had to sort this battery out.
The main cause of this particular mishap is actually me not using the car frequently enough , and this problem will get worse as the good weather comes on , so after fully charging the battery , I came up with a novel solution to the problem , in which you attach a solar powered battery charger to the car permanently , thus keeping the battery topped up – fingers crossed :)
I’ll get my oil next Saturday :)
Well ……………. clutch my straws :)
-----------------------------------------------
It was my first proper union job last Thursday and of course it’s the usual baptism by
fire , but hey - I always prepare for the worst when I take up these cases, so I’m
always’s ready :)
Without going in to too much detail because of confidentiallity - this was supposed to be an “informal” interview , the problem was and wait for this …………..
…………………there were three managers and one personnel officer involved …… …………………hence I smelt a rat……..a big f**ker too :)
The actual meeting itself got quiet nasty , more through their lack of understanding of the rules , and me than me citing them to prove a point didn’t help either :)
Meeting over I subsequently had one of the supervisors involved , ring me up to give me even more of a hard time !!! , so rather than argue , I just reported him, citing one of my work colleagues as a witness to his disgraceful behavior on the phone.
…………………………goodbye and goodnight :)
You simply cannot go in to a formal situation like this , especially if the outcome is potentially serious , and not know the specific rules and regulations that govern that situation , then violently berate somebody who actually does.
Saying that - my own line of questioning was wholly in my own client’s favour , but hey………. “ all is fair in love and war “ …………..as the old saying goes :)
Hmmm ………………better go get some more straw , ready for the next time :)
