We've a decent amount of savings we dip into for the mortgage so hopefully it won't get to that, and I have an interview on Wednesday anyway.

Cheers. Of course, I've probably bloody jinxed myself by posting it on BE, but oh well, too late now :eek:

I did roll down my window and called her stupid, although I could have added a few more choice words. :mad:

Which reminds me...small cars that park all the way in on a parking spot, so you think it's a empty spot because of the massive cars on either side....bonus points on a filled lot during something like Christmas shopping mayhem.

Never mind reversing - in the parking lot at the local Safeways people walk right in front of moving vehicles all the time and expect you to stop for them.

Couple that with the bigass SUVs and pickemups that park in the end space in a parking garage sticking out half way into the lane you're traveling in or out of. :frown:

Why? Because I've called every school in your area and told them I'm your special internet friend? :sneaky:

Yup - agree... The only thing that peeves me more is when the slot is occupied by a shopping trolley, not a car... LAZY BASTARDS!!!!!

It's a pity she'd apparently already had kids - you could have taken her out of the gene pool.... Shame you missed the kids too - taking them out of the gene pool would have been worth the consolation points...:eek:

Didn't have much to do in work yesterday, then?

My new pet peeve is this f***ing hotbed of incompetence I'm forced to endure every single day.

Some stupid bitch decides not to do her job, then quits and it's now my problem. V signs to each and every one. I hope the IRS does tell them to stuff it and shuts them down.

At least on unemployment I'll actually be getting paid.

(Oh - and cheers HTS by the way :D)

:lol: My lack of postingt yesterday probably told you that I either did have plenty to do, or I was on the phone to the School board in IL. ;)

I can sympathise with the hotbed of incompetence, I see that everywhere I go over here. It seems that every decent sized company in Florida, runs like Mickey Mouse is the person making the rules and decisions. :rolleyes:

I suggest you use the famous acronym, "DFO" to your lot, at every available opportunity. If that doesn't apply, then WGAF, is almost universal.
