The What's Pi$$Ing You Off Thread

Sucessfully hacking a Apple Airport Express to stream music over Wifi using USB as a power source instead of 240v. Cause Bluetooth is for doodles (and it compresses the music files)

Sounded beautiful on the kitchen bench while testing!

Plugs it into work car, has stupid amounts of interference now... grr. Maybe cause of insane amount of electronic crap installed into work cars. Will try in own car and hope interference buggers off......

Further to last, wifi works beautifully in own car! No interference whatsoever.

stupid work cars lol

Because you listen to sh*t music that's why its sounds crap.........lol.

Ive rang around at least 15 fencing contractors spoke with and left 1-2 messages to install a colourbond fence at my new property, boundary and rear fence with double gate approx. 50-60 metres and nothing.

Not once single quote pissing my off now.

Ditto Pixy,

Colourbond too.

Must be a lucrative business when they don't bother returning calls for more work.

[Pixy Angel]

its not to hard to return a call or just say we're to busy than waste one person time. People only complain about bad experience.

Ive just about rang every fencing mob in my area and nothing.

Do they have a jims fencing franchise that serves your area?

Got my new work contract through.. Finally..

Needs reviewing and signing by Monday..

Cheeky f*cking bastards have a non-compete clause.. 24 months after you leave the company can't work for another company that deals with any of the same clients (it's a bit more sophisticated than that.. Got a lawyer mate seeing if he can find a loophole).. Ffffff-uckkkk dat... We have so many clients I would literally have to move to WA to get work..

And I lose a permanent work car..

And I get paid monthly..

And I can't accrue more than 4 weeks leave or leave stops being accrued (currently have 7 weeks owing so gotta make sure that I am not gonna magically lose 3)..

And no bonuses.. Unless you're in management.. So gotta wait for my position description to find out if I am high enough management to get bonuses..

And I have to comply with an 'IT' policy.. Which I just read and it means I can't download porn, or use UTorrent while at work!

And they have a drug and alcohol policy which eliminates the couple beers at Friday pub lunches! Unless you take the afternoon off.. But that needs approval from your manager 2 days in advance...

On the upside I suppose it's got more $$$$ attached and more sick days.. (Don't really care about sick days for me but I seem to take a stack to look after the little fella)

On the whole.. Small company becoming big company really sucks balls..

[Never had any say Panda]

And I lied.. f*ckers took my base salary added a bit.. But then said that included super..

Less money..

Feckin better be a typo..

[Rab]

Did you get merged with/bought out by another company or something?

Seems like a lot you're giving up with exactly zero gains :s

[ms700]

Drug and alcohol policy is commonplace these days, same with IT clamps. We have 6 weeks maximum leave accrual here as well.

Do they have a jims fencing franchise that serves your area?

Yes we do MS left 2 messages and nothing.

At my old job I had almost 15 weeks annual around 560hrs im down to around 200 now. NSW Health service doing well.
