Similar thing happened to me last week, it really just stuffs you around!
What annoys me is the BOLDED warning at the top of the time sheet stating to sign on/off daily, then for the person doing the pay to stuff it up on their end

having payroll decide they're randomly going to pay you based on some ridiculous theory they have on how your return to full time work agreement is set out, which completely goes against your contract (I'm salary so I get my hours of unpaid removed from my monthly salary, not paid for the hours I do). Yeah. Thanks to that doozy I nearly only had enough to pay the ******* rent this month.
All because the new hr chick told them I'd increased my hours, rather than just.... Letting them do what they have been doing for months

Driving on a freeway behind a car with automatic headlights.Do the lights really need to come on for the one second it takes to go under a bridge or overpass?

In this day and age, why do restaurants still insist on having someone do the rounds with that ****y cracked pepper grinder. You gotta sit there like a ponce while they lean over your shoulder and what for you to say the magic words "that will do". Last time I checked pepper was as cheap as chips if not cheaper, surely if I'm paying $55 for my steak they can have a pepper grinder on each table and I'll help myself...geez I hate that!

All the modern cars on eBay listed in the 'collector and vintage' section.

Cars that suddenly speed up to the speed limit on freeways and divided roads after I pull out to pass them.

I really hate when they put that mill under their arm and walk around with it. YUK

Drove to and from Shepparton today. Not just once or twice, between Shep and Broadford I catch up to cars that were far in the distance while having the cruise control set on 110 (the speed limit), pull out into the right lane to pass, then each one decides to speed up to the speed limit.

Oh yeah, and the passing lanes along Lancefield Rd.

Some extra salt with your pepper

[poppa smurf]

Hmmm! computer no go, all spotty and stripy now refusal to start, shaking and hitting it did no good so my technical skills quickly came to their limit.

computer man say "video card gone"..................

I say "where the bloody hell has that gone, it cant get out of the Imac"


computer man says "cost $635 to fix, would you like a new one, this one getting old"

"how much" I say

"$2300" he say

"too much, you fix old one"

I cant seem to keep computers alive..............survival time is roughly 3 years in my care and yet others have computers that kept track of the animals boarding noah's ship??????

Companies that fill review sites with (fake) beautifully scripted infomercial style testimonials to try and raise their abysmal 1 star rating that they have received from real posters.

Poor form.... Google is a wonderful thing

$2300 for a video card?!?!?! Can you please go and quietly punch him square in the face....You can get a graphics card for as cheap as $120 depending on what pin the computer motherboard has, then its just like changing an air filter. Out with the old in with the new, install drivers and off you go.

[tut0r]

What I can't stand is other motorists on the road when I'm trying to drive!!! Just frustrates me! Get outta my way!!

I think the $2300 is for a whole new machine.

Probably right, but still that's a horrible over quote for poppa as I assumed he has no need for a 'gaming' machine and more does day to day browsing which he could spend $500 for something that does just that.

Did he have a jar of Vaseline in his hands when he said that?

When you leave a note on a job saying you've already performed the work you can on it and it's now up to someone else to complete it, to have that EXACT same job reassigned to you saying please advise if you have done this.

Ahhh... read the ****in note you tard.

Geez I hate that.

[poppa smurf]

$2300 is for whole new machine that I can buy through apple direct for $1999 with free postage............he seemed to think my imac is getting a bit long in the tooth and that the power supply will go next, followed by the hard drive.

new video card, plus install, is $634.....($409 for card $225 for labour).............not counting $25 freight and the $90 for "bench testing".

I need the speed and power for photo's...........we travel a lot and have umpteen trillion photos that I process through light room or Photoshop.

plus it is just a nice machine to use.

currently using nanna smurfs Toshiba laptop running windows 8.1............someone please shoot me now!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know how handy you are, but could always build one yourself? Or look at places like centrecom and computer parts land who sell prebuilt computers at a decent price.

[Road Games]

Trying to work out in a local park with my PT and a python comes up and wants to say hello...

PT wont go back to the park again and i cant keep the python at home ??

hah!...........mate I'll build the desk, chair, build the house, lay the carpet or tiles but computers just leave me cold.

I've got a tower, keyboard, mouse and LCD monitor stuffed under the desk from around 3 or 4 years ago that got dust ingress and blew up the motherboard, I've often looked at it and thought "maybe"..........but then I go and find something else to do, doesn't matter what it is.

Mate, I have a pc with a 10yr old power supply and hard drive and it's still going strong and another HD that's at least 7yrs old and gets a flogging day in and day out as it's part of my media storage. As for $90 to "bench test", that seems a bit rude.
Tell you what, get whatever graphics card you think appropriate, use the money you saved to pay for fuel and bring the whole lot to me and I'll do the swap and plug it in and turn it on, oh...er...I mean "bench test it". Then we'll go spend the day fishing. You can choose between fishing for yellow fin whiting around here or going to Gunya beach and having a bit of sport fighting the salmon.

I hate ripping open a slab of cans when loading the bar fridge up and the plastic outer is moulded to the 6 pack plastic thingos... AND stabbing a can when you've resorted to using a knife to seperate! (The smallest nick and beer squirtin like Mt.Vesuvius!)

[ford71V8]

^ Come to think of it, I hate that too!
Happens way too often

l don't cop that anymore cause l was getting so sick of it l decided to start buying stubbies instead, way easier than cans.

you'd be gamer than me......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkE0yKgz-Jwmore

I think I'll leave it to the experts and just go fishing.

[Spurious]

Seeing the same dunny rolls I usually buy at the supermarket, on special at a pharmacy.

So I buy some.

Only to find later that day that they're also on sale in the supermarket & even bloody cheaper!!!

I said to myself whilst in the pharmacy, "well what if they're on special at coles....na' I'll buy some here, they're cheap today". DAMMIT!

I HATE THAT.

Ok, you win. 3 minute in was enough for me. What a nightmare. I knew there was a reason I never bought one of those all in one screen jobs last upgrade. Give me a tower any day that you can open up and get to everything easily. Whatever you do, don't buy another one the same as they seem to have a built in redundancy like most peripherals these days, designed to die after a set period of time and be thrown away for a new one as fixing it is not economical.
The computer guy is probably right though, your power supply and hard drive will fry next in short order as it's reached it's use by date. Thanks Apple.

You'd be better off telling a tech. what you want to do with your PC and get them to build you a custom unit. It'll last a damn site longer than a pre fab, and be easier to fix and upgrade periodically.
