It bugs me because I'm doing the same twelve our shifts, staying away from home as I did offshore.
Why then should I not get overtime for teh same conditions?

A lot of the time it is adjusted by an increase in the base salary.

*Grr* Ordered Insanity DVD's from Ebay. Regstered user, plenty of feedback, did my research, bought and paid for item.
Get an email 3 days later saying "your item has been removed" but don't worry, if you've already paid for it then you'll still get it.
2 days later is date they should arrive - nothing, check dispatch status on Ebay - "Not Dispatched"
Email seller: "No longer a Registered User"
Open a dispute to get my money back "Have to wait 9 days" (18th Oct) to escalate dispute to get money back
Seller = "NO LONGER A REGISTERED USER"

Why the heck do I have to wait 9 days for a response from someone who has clearly taken my money and uggbred off? Surely if they have closed their seller account it's better to get on this sh!t NOW rather than waiting for a response that will never come? :evil:

Because Ebay (and PayPal) do not want to help. Nor do the police.

They've got issues at their core. Did you ask them for a credit?

Still a complete pain. It will stack up and mean you have to deal with it later.

What is it with asshat's and their stupid fog lights!? Don't people realise that it is actually possible to TURN THEM OFF during a journey? Like for instance if a car comes up behind you to normal travelling distance?!

The wife's car had those lights that come on when you start the engine. I haven't even tried to figure out how to turn the dammed things off and I suspect that I'm not the only one in the world.

If it's the running lights then you can't esp if the car is new as it is a legal req to have them

Does that mean I'd have to honk instead of flashing lights to show my discontent? :lol:

If it's just running lights, or even normal headlights then it's not a problem! It's the High Intensity Rear Fog lights that are a particular bother, especially if you're in normal driving conditions and a reasonable distance away from the car in front, they are blinding and there's no need for it!!

(First World Problem Alert:)
WTF is going on in the world? I bought a cheese and pickle cob from the van this morning and have discovered that some bright spark has added raw red onion to it! On Purpose! I don't want a "cheese, pickle and red onion" cob, that's why I bought a "cheese & pickle" cob. What's with the pretentious sh!t of adding raw onion to everything at the moment? *is disgusted* :evil:
