MadBaz Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Well I've had enough.... Fixing flippin pc's has been a bit of a flop, no new customers despite spending loads of dosh on advertising, some t*****r keeps undercutting so I've bailed. I'm keeping my part time job for now delivering the local paper. I've decided to throw what spare cash I've got at some HGV lessons, I enjoy driving and the idea of being my own "gaffer" and possibly a couple of nights away a week is very appealing. I've got my cat 'c' theory on friday morning and my practical booked for 9th April. Thanks for reading, not much of a post but I had to tell someone.... Edited March 4, 2008 by MadBaz Quote

stevie m Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I jacked in a job 9 years ago that i really hated. I am now my own boss and made the right decision. I now work 6/7 days a week but don't mind that as i have nobody looking over my shoulder. Don't like the weeks away they get boring but thats not that often now(if i can help it). Good luck for friday and also April 9th and i hope that you enjoy your change in direction. Quote

MadBaz Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys, Looking forward to theory test tomorrow. Got pulled by VOSA this morning on weighbridge at Ainley Top, you should have seen the guys face when I said, "I'm alright driving on a provisional aren't I," HGV provisional that is, the git kept me for an hour.
