And you know what? I didn’t go mad. I didn’t call SJ bending her ear letting off steam.I didn’t foam at the mouth. Remember, I don’t live where I work, I have to make the journey in especially whenever a client makes a booking. So I spent a fiver on a return journey to Victoria, [...]
Except it wasn’t the bag, it was the bloomin’ wallet. I had forgotten I’d bought the wallet at the same time I bought my bag, but because the wallet was inside the bag I didn’t think it could be that. I was in my local shopping centre again this morning and sure enough, I was [...]
Yes, go on, laugh at me. It looks like I can’t make up my mind. I have added yet another date to my Edinburgh tour. It’s not as scatty as it looks. I’m seeing one of my old favourite clients (it seems I have a few of those scattered throughout the country doesn’t it,lol) who [...]
I was in Tesco’s again this afternoon and I was beeped as soon as I stepped out of the lift. I wasn’t wearing my Marks and Spencer’s bra, so I can only deduce it was my messenger bag. Roll on Edinburgh Airport on the 4th. It should be interesting.
Last week I was in my local shopping centre and at various times in various shops, I kept getting beeped at when walking in and walking out. You know, when the security scanners go off when you’re walking out because whatever it is you’ve bought hasn’t been scanned properly, or the tag hasn’t been removed. [...]
I’ve just about recovered from my weekend course and what a long weekend it was. The course started around 5pm on Friday afternoon, then we had a 10hr day on Saturday, lasting from 9am until 7pm (obviously with breaks and lunch inbetween), then another 5 hours on Sunday. So that’s nearly 20hrs of learning crammed [...]
Regular readers may remember that I had signed up for a course. A course that, if successful, will help me ease out of this business when the time comes. It’s a pretty intensive one over the next two and a half days, finishing on Sunday. It also has a choice of a further course by [...]
…..”I don’t get paid enough for this”.(Alert, this is an angry post). I reckon this applies in this case to my friend and colleague Melody BBW. Have a read of her latest entry here, paying special attention to point no. 9. This is a booking that took place this week. I think the chap in [...]
Well, it looks like PCWorld haven’t taken my letters seriously and have ignored my last correspondence. So I’ve just downloaded the claims form from the HMCS website to fill in and send away so I can start proceedings to take them to small claims court. I’m gobsmacked at their arrogance that they feel I don’t [...]
I have a lovely-sounding prospective client I have been in email communications with, who would like me to pay a visit to Edinburgh. So much so he’s already sent me a deposit for my fee and and an overnight stay plus travel. Now that’s what I call serious. It seems he was bowled over by [...]
