Incidentally, the box I'm working in tonight is the one I started off in and before I started the guy who had my locker got sacked, when management came to opening his locker up they found it was stacked fully with porn mags and dildo's......

So I had my exhaust "fitted" on Friday.

Two out of three manifold bolts used - "It should be OK, if not, bring it back".

Fine.

Get almost home, boom, exhaust blows.

Called them up - "We can fit you in on Friday, there will be an extra cost"

So, there's an extra cost, to fix a job that you did wrong?

f**king BS.

And now my train home is disrupted as someone has jumped in front of a train.

Selfish willy, use the suspension bridge like everyone else, if you're that intent on killing yourself.

I'm not usually heartless, but I'm in a shit mood today.

Have them fix the car, turn up, get keys, leave, pay no bills, it's their shoddy f**kup in the first place! Try your best to get the keys before any payment occurs, they're not gonna chase you for the money as they're in the wrong!

As for throwing yourself in front of a train, really f**king selfish, brother in law is a paramedic, has to scoop up bits of people who do that, London tube drivers get a ton of mandatory leave if someone jumps in front of their train!

Selfish? No, selfish is definitely the wrong word, that seems to come from a majority with a lack of understanding, but I can't think of the right way to put it.

It is horrible, occasionally even life changing for the drivers/paramedics/others involved in the aftermath though, I in no way contest that.

The problem I have is that the garage is quite far away and they can't do it 'til Friday - this alone will cost more than £50 in train fare and I'll have to take a half day.

I'm gonna try and get the manifold off tonight and drill it out myself. If I can do it, I'll be pleased with myself and I'll have learned something, so that's good.

I'm money hungry and I work a full time minimum wage job as an "IT Engineer"

I work for a sister company of a larger business that mainly deals with flipping stock between larger companies and other sale type happenings. Our side started literally the day I joined and the part number data base / ebay listing system has only been sorted out today (four weeks later).

I'm not sure if its worth sticking about with them to see if things really start picking up or if I should fak right off and go find something better paying, I can't stand being inside a grey warehouse full of old shitty computer equipment 42 hours a week.

considering quitting early July, riding bikes and fun things until September and then going back to college and taking level 3 extended creative media. wat do

The latter. Have a fun summer then smash the shit out of the college course. Summers aren't made to sit inside a warehouse doing something you don't enjoy.

its a shame there isn't a possible balance between making money to buy lenses and shiny bike bits and actually having time to use them.

Going to spend some time revising my contract I think

Have you got the option of doing extra hours/overtime? If so, maybe smash that out for the next few weeks/months to give yourself a bit of summer spending money (and depending on how things go a bit of extra money for the start of college)?

whole place runs a 9am - 5:30pm routine, 90% of the people there have been there for 15-20 years.
