    Work is over-rated.

    I like my job. I love what I do.

    Sometimes, I feel like I need to distance myself. Mostly on days like today

    A negative result is still a result and adds to the pool of knowledge.


    Only a toothless parrot always succeeds.

    :D not a negative result. Something went wrong in general and it puts into question about a month's worth of work. Always annoying :rotfl:

    Annoying indeed.

    But a month. A month. Just a month. The work you do are involed in misskool will eventually save peoples lives. For months, and years and decades. I think we, and you, can forgive you a month...don't you?:D

    My entire final year project at uni failed if that makes you feel any better. And it was really boring.

    Lir, can you ask to see it before you pay by visiting the sorting office?

    I'm really sorry but I can't go to the other place at mo as no link for this device and laptop still not back.

    misskool, I agree, it's only a month. Plus sometimes you have to take dead ends to know the way for the future.

    It should have the address of the sender on it for you to check? The ones I have received often does.

    If not, a quick phone call to ascertain sender before paying.
