I mentioned that I took this week off at the last minute to have a break while I could (since I don’t know when I’ll be able to leave the new guy on his own) but it’s like I’m still there. Calls from work, voicemails, emails, texts, msn messages. Can’t anybody show any initiative? I’ve said it before, but common sense really doesn’t seem to be that common anymore. Needless to say I’m not replying.
Went to Ikea today and bought a load of crap we don’t need and can’t afford. I might build it tomorrow. I need to call the insurer again since it’s almost a year since the accident and they still haven’t done fuck all. I think the last word from them was that they were awaiting a response from the third party. How long do they give them these days?? I still need to write to the independant financial ombudsman again.
On a plus note, I think my battles with 1&1 are finally over – my server package is now cancelled, and I even got a refund on the last quarter after I complained about their lack of response to my numerous emails. That’s £100 back in my bank account, thank-you-very-much!
Okay, so I won the Legend battle, and I haven’t heard anything from them since. What I neglected to post about was my ongoing legal battle with Shah Jahaan, one of the local curry houses. Their driver wrote off my car in July 2005. After many many months of giving statements and postponed court dates, etc, they decided to settle out of court.
PIPEX are still nobs. I told them to take the money I owe them but they’ve yet to do so. I got a letter from them the other day admitting it was their fault, and they were going to take the money. If they delay any longer I’m gonna tell them I’m gonna pay it a fiver a month or something – they’re taking the piss.
Anyway, money’s going on a new axe and a bike. Thinking of getting a Line6 Variax 700 acoustic. What d’you think? I’m also buying the Line6 Pod XT Live to replace my Pod XT as it has a Variax port. Should be fun. I’m looking at Rock Lobster bikes at the moment. I want to get one built for me, but I need to research and make sure I know what I’m doing first. If anything breaks I wanna know how to fix it.
Anyway, I need to do some tidying, and some important Guitar Hero II-ing.
