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

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??

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? :P 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.

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

Quote
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.
