Can't go into details but I have been appalled by the poor level of knowledge and awareness that some supposedly experienced and qualified marketing staff have. I put it to the practice that they often lock themselves in their own 'happy world' in which things work by a simple 'rinse and repeat' routine which can last them for years if everything remains stable and only when the 'game' changes do they find themselves in trouble.

I second Kup on this statement. I come from a Commerce background and thank goodness not marketing. My experience with the only Marketing subject I took on in my uni course as an elective, they aim to attain the so called "business acumen" and vision stuff by encouraging weirdest nonsense possible, let there be no boundary or logic; and if you stick with common sense or even financial awareness you are definitely screwed up in your assessments.

My tv just stuffed up. I was sitting there watching it and then there was a loud noise and the screen went pink and now my digital channels and hdmi channels don't work for longer than a minute before it stuffs up again. Now I'll have to buy a new tv :mad:

3 weeks ago the power supply to my desktop died, got a new one.

2 weeks ago the power adapter to my laptop died, also got a new one.

This week my crappy Matshita DVD drive in my laptop is dead, don't know how the heck I'm going to replace it!

The winds this week has been giving the s***s. They've been making my daily bike rides a pain in the ass and costing me lots of momentum and speed.

I never get any parcels on a Thursday! I'm sure they have days off from deliveries.

I'll probably get around to getting a quote to fix the tv and if its cheap I'll have it fixed and keep it as a spare
