Another job lost!

No, it is Chao fan

Thanks for that Oubones, that gives me a lot of encouragement! I need to change my outlook, 45 years of experience should be expensive, I should not be begging for work! Sorry for the hijack Zogs!

Haha! Hot sure that a tool softener will help much - reckon he is in too much pain to think of such things!

Loopy? I think she has a head start on that!

Looks like you will have the place running like a South African company used to be - "Do your job, whatever it takes, plus a bit more and have fun doing it". Many people do not seem to realise how important their job is to them! A few months unemployed will wake them up to that fact!

They may be pissed on though

I guess you are right about the UPS, the one my PC is on powers all my entertainment system and modems too for load shedding if I can't be aresed to fire up the genny.

You can buy a reliable UPS to keep you going during outages and use the laptop when you are mobile, I find I get a lot less fatigued using a decent size screen too. I also detest touch pads!

Mrs. Zog Why not build a desktop PC? they are far more flexible, much more reliable and easier to upgrade - you do not have to change every component every time. The monitor can be as big as you want and they have a real keyboard and mouse. They are easier to fix if they go tits up too. In my...

It is amazing how much we all hate change - this format is so different, imojis don't work for me and I will need to search to fix it plus people's avatars look different so I do not recognise who it is as quick, look at Mr. Zog's it looks totally different. I guess we will get used to it.

Wow - that is embarassing!

Yes, like that but fully enclosed

Oh no, so sorry! Did the baobab survive? Our gardener used to put thatching straw around the succeptable plants when frost was forecast.

We are all waiting to know as much as you are! Sure all will be good!

I was stuck in SA for 4 months, had 10 bookings to Dubai, canceled nine times, 2 days before the flight! VERY frustrating to say the least. Let's see what happens in the next few days, the knee may not jerk so much after some thought.

Petrol is still cheaper in the US than SA - it is 84c a liter (R12.89) in the US and R19.54 ($1.27) a litre in SA. I assume a US liter and an SA litre are the same!  :pot:

Good luck Mrs. Z!

Wow - that is good news!

Sorry to see your situation! that is exactly the issue I face - 36 years experience, no degree. They scan your CV with an app, no degree, no read. Some eejit with a bloody MBA and no experience is more likely to get an interview than I am.
