Ok, so this afternoon I had a good chat with Linda and told her that im sick of what I do as my day job and I need to change things or I can see myself heading down the road of ill health and god forbid a heart attack in years to come....ive just had enough of working beneath ever increasing sales targets and the stress and shi@ that comes with it all....so im looking for a new job
She took it quite well as she gets nervous when I want to change companies / jobs as you enter into the unknown a bit, but then nothing is guaranteed anymore in any company
What this means is the xm is going to need to return to active duty if I get a new position as the Nissan will go along with my current job
Im aiming to get a job in Manchester city centre ideally, that way I get to spend more time in the city that I love, but also I can get the tram or train to work each day leaving the xm for social and domestic use only.
No matter what however, I need to get a list of jobs that need doing to get her MOT ready and get my brother in law over to get them done!
The first job will have to be the o/s/r brake light which has stopped functioning. the bulb is fine and holder as ive tried the n/s/r one and it appears to be an electrical feed issue....or an earth more than likely. As my brother in law is a mechanic and self confessed autoelectrical problem solver, he is the man for the job.
The only money I have stashed is £100 which would go great for getting the o/s/f inner cv boot done, but I have that reserved for a trip to London in a few weeks when im taking Linda down for her birthday, so I could do with getting another car job to come along
For anyone on facebook, ive created a Pallas Auto Refinishing page....I'll post up a thread in the general section for some help promoting it...its my xm fund raiser you see...the more cars I get done, the faster I can return it to the road again
Im looking forward to being able to drive it again that's for sure
