Seemingly trivial things that intrigue you

Different world entirely, but a repeat client is a pretty big compliment. It's still best to assume you are always competing for business.

And I though that Stevo was the Corporate Tory Bastard?? 😉
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

The last person I heard use the phrase 'taking the bread from my children's mouth' was a multi-millionaire property developer when another consultant was asked in a meeting to do a substantial amount of additional work and dared to suggest he'd need an uplift on his fees (the developer was the polo playing mate of our King that he got in trouble about 15 years ago for calling 'Sooty')

Mate, you need to spend more time with normal people.

Ah it’s all just about facing the day. I don’t think there are many jobs where you face quite as much rejection on a daily basis as this one.
Either selling yourself or the clients or the candidates.
You need to get yourself in the right frame of mind to do that day in day out.
Whatever motivates you.

Internalise it more?

I meant the rejection on a daily basis. If you don’t believe you are ill why do you need a mental health nurse.

Have you read 'Liar's Poker' by Michael Lewis?

Although it does sound like you board the Cambridge to London 'express' on a morning ready to 'bite the ass off a bear'.

Ha. Think more tragic like the opening scene of succession only without the chauffeur driven car.

After only three weeks parked up? Really?? Wait till they start counting the weeks from the end of July... best park in front of some really posh house to really wind them up.
Still, it cheered me up that someone waited for me to vacate the parking space, but after two goes at getting in it (with a shorter car than mine), they gave up.

Leave a note on your dash saying car is taxed and MOT'd so get back in your box. The note should be small enough that someone would only see it when they get close enough to put their note under your wiper.

That's nuts, though I did get someone commenting that someone they know had that done to theirs, and it was crushed.

Shirley if a veehickle is taxed and MOT-ed then it is road legal enough, ignoring post MOT wear and tear, to be sitting on public road wherever? Sans VED and MOT then for sure, remove and trash.

When parked on a street with no restrictions and with the vehicle being taxed and insured? Would love to know what law they are doing that under and amazed no-one has sued them. There’s no obligation to use a vehicle as far as I’m aware.

How do the 'authorities' know a vehicle has or has not moved during whatever period? Are there curtain twitchers monitoring / whining on soshul meejah?

Of course. There is not enough parking space around as it is, and the street is the first street that doesn’t have restricted parking so it’s used as a car park by non residents. This angers them and they take revenge.

One reason I was very happy to have residents parking introduced - I pointed out on my cheeky FB post that had it not been current it would have been ticketed.
