Excercise???
I have had a reasonably eventful week so far. I have had lots of fallings out with my boss. Partly over his inability to lead but mostly due the fact that despite that I have been working in my department longer than any of the other test guys, I am on the lowest wage. I just don't see the logic in this one little bit. If anyone has a problem in my department, they come to me for the solution. It seems abillity to do your job well isn't the best asset to have when it comes to reviewing your salary.
I have been asked to work on Saturday... I would tell my boss to go and fuck himself if I didn't want the money so much! I don't mind giving up my saturday if they are willing to give me ten quid an hour. Saturday work coupled with the extra hour I am doing every weeknight at the moment should lead to a nice pay packet at the end of the month.
I am trying to get my car back on the road after being ripped off by two different bodyshops in two years. LA styling (a bodyshop in Thetford) turned out to be the least trustworthy bunch of cowboys ever. My car went in to them to have the bodykit refited and a complete respray. I was promised the work would be completed in two weeks. Six weeks after the car went in I went to see how much progress had been made. The car was sprayed but it looked like it had been done outdoors as there was runs and bubbles in the paint on nearly every pannel. To make matters worse the bottom of the bumpers had not been sprayed at all. My car went back into the bodyshop so many times before I finaly recieved a call telling me that it was ready. My grandparents gave me a lift to Thetford to pick it up. I waited in their reception for 6 hours before being given my car back. I was told that when I got it back it would have Tax and MOT on it. Instead it had a cracked windscreen, Perrished door seals, ill fitting bodypanels, wrongly wired electronics and a whole lot more. On the drive home my battery gave up the ghost and left me stranded in a petrol station for another hour. When I did eventualy get home I found out that LA styling had fitted the front bumper with 2 self tapping screws instead of securely mounting it with bolts. A couple of days after me getting my car home I found out that the guy I thought was running the company (Ant) had done a dissapearing act and the company was closed down. It was not long after this that I lost all faith in my car and anyone related to the industry. I am trying to restore some faith in my love of cars now but since the last incident has left me with quite a lot of debt it is an uphill struggle. I will post pictures of the project soon
I have been out with my mates in Brampton a couple of times this week. We have been trying to figure out what to do for Seana's birthday. Seana is a very good friend of mine. She smokes a lot of weed which I think is having a bit of a negative effect on her at the moment. She lives in abject fear of the zombies taking over the world. Her idea of a perfect birthday out was 'to find the leaky cauldron and enter Harry Potter land.' If I didn't know her so well I might be concerned for her sanity. As it stands im not at all concerned... I know she is as insane as they come! I sugested we did somthing crazy in London. We are looking into a day out in Camden or a visit to the Natrual History Museum.
Another of my close friends, Tom called me last night. He is currently working at Thorpe Park. The new ride there (Stealth) is fantastic! I can't wait to get down there and ride it! Tom rode it before its opening day the lucky bugger. Tom didn't realise that no one outside of Thorpe Park was supposed to have known though. The press the next day were told that they were the first riders despite Tom bragging on a rollercoaster forum that he had already been on it!
Sam and I are not talking as much as we used to. I am trying to cut down my mobile phone bill. Since I have internet acces in my room now I can talk on MSN a lot more. It just doesn't feel as personal as a nice 45 minute phone conversation though. I am counting down the days till she comes home for easter!
My room is now part decorated. My new bed should arrive tomorrow. I now have a wood floor! Guess my mum got sick of hoovering broken paintballs out of my carpet ;-)
Talking of paintball I have a tournament on the 26th... Mothering Sunday! I dont know how well that one is going to go down!
