Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

One of my 1TB hdds from xLAN stopped spinning once - couldn't recover shit

Apparently the firmware was screwed on a whole batch of drives with a similar serial number - they would replace them if you
called em up had POP and sent it/waited etc etc etc...

Just sits in my draw to this day

[Codex]

You could try swapping the logic board from the same drive that works. It's pretty easy to do

I'm after a 72GB SCSI U320, preferably in a Compaq hotswap caddy. Got any going cheap?

So if anyone recalls myself having a few issues within my workplace - it has continued and it appears I'll be placing resignation any moment now.

so, any work available in Auckland City in the next 4 weeks??

You should get a job at the new Subway on Victoria street, the guy at the counter has a giant mole on his forehead, i nearly did an Austin Powers when i saw it.

I'd order one of your sandwiches.

I'd make sure you got double meat, free

He'd give you extra cheese whether you'd want it or not.

[Obble]

I'd be more worried about the extra Mayo you didn't ask for.

I'ma scalp ya's

[Retardobot]

On a serious note.

You've sucked it up for long enough bro. I haven't much experience with working with douchebags as most people in my industry are pretty good guys (bar 1 or 2 I know of who have a bad rep amongst top-shelf clients).

I can't imagine much changing if you were to talk to management as the ones causing the strife would most likely turn up the passive-aggressive dial and make things worse. If you're of any worth to the people you work with (I can't imagine you aren't, it's just the case of those people recognizing it) they'll be upset with your resignation and attempt to do something about it.

What sort of work you looking for bromeister? Got any career aspirations? Nows the time to start working towards those.

I raised it with management, problem being the manager is a friend of one of the morons.. that person said they'd keep an eye on it - nothing changed.

It's been months now and I've had enough.

I don't have any career aspirations at this stage, well - when I try and think of what I want to do I can't focus on a single thing

Get out of there. It's only going to breed further contempt for your workplace. And before you know it your standards are going to start slipping.

Is there anything else within your work that you can be transferred to? (Diff. department).

Also, it's never too late to go back to study.

Funny you mention it, I have looked into this a quite bit.

A: I'd get to train and not sit on my ass all day long
B: get to help others train - I've seen some amazing transformations just from adjusting diets and exercise effect not only the way you look but it even gives people crazy confidence boosts in other aspects of their lives.
C: Eye candy? haha nawh.

So yeah, could be an option.

I shouldn't dread coming to work because of this high school musical shit.

Yeah, could do eh.. study Sports science or something.

Hang on, he lives with those fucking man-eating spiders in Aus O_O

[Emrico1]

There is something much bigger and hairier here that I find more dangerous.

That's right, the ladies.

[Obble]

Spiders are cool.

Because that thread is done to death. I want to address Rice's somewhat misplaced rep comment:

dude your argument is so seriously bad :0 You're pretty much saying if you're on a budget you don't deserve to have any fun. o_o; Think about people with families and mortgages. 30 bucks is a lot of money. Growlerr made a good point too

First. It was never an argument. It was supposed to be a discussion. I started the DISCUSSION with "I don't understand". It is of my own opinion, I wasn't trying to enter into a debate. Others have made it a shit flinging contest, thanks by the way.

Ok, secondly, I am not saying anything like that. It appears you've mad a terrible knee-jerk reaction. My stance is that if you are on such a tight budget that you have to spend days trawling through prices to get the cheapest on an item that is sub $100 (which includes importing said item) then I believe your money is better spent on things a family on a mortgage/tight budget needs; like food, power, internet etc. I at no point try and blindly force this....what was it you called it..argument? on to anyone else.

I am a little more stringent with my money. I tend it put it towards more practical uses.

Hoping Rice fronts up to discuss after a PM pointing him here rather than dropping me a rep comment hoping I'd never see it.

[Obble]

Hope Rice doesn't read that, his posts are painful to read.

Especially his latest one in the Fiji thread >_>
