I'd be explicitly making clear to the manager / owner of the garage "That guy pissed me off. I'll buy the car if he doesn't get paid for the sale, and you reduce by that amount, otherwise you can shove it and have back what is now a used car to sell".
    That would be an option except the person who really got up my nose was the manager

      It appears to be 12:45.

      That explains why I'm feeling hungry.

      I shall go home & eat something to relieve that feeling.



      Byeeeee

        Well, that's better.

        Just to add to the joy of life ZM has fallen over again.

        They're talking about taking her to the falls clinic again.

        It was ever so much use when we went there last year.

          It gives her an outing. They gave us tea and sandwiches at ours.

            Oh yes, I remember that now.

            And they fed her.

            I had 3 chips.

              Just got an email from cloggy SAP that they cancelled my training due to low enrollment.

              They managed to screw up my holiday plans

                "Friday" afternoon. Got to make it through the next 90 minutes before a 90 meeting to end the day / week.

                A project review meeting where everyone knows, but no-one will admit, that we're not going to hit the Go Live date.

                  Are you playing Deadline Chicken? Waiting to see who blinks first and admits that it can't be done?

                    I have no involvement in the progression of the project at all, so I quite happily sit in these meetings and raise questions like "When's X going to be done then?", and "Last week we said Y would be ready by Monday, but it doesn't seem to work yet. Is something wrong?"

                    Spoke to a couple of the contractors more involved in the dev and testing - they are all saying we'll miss Go Live, and the only question now is which of the multiple items that are delayed will be the one that breaks the camels back.
