My last day...

Post by jameslxdt »

Well, as some of you may know i was having a bad time at work in the past few months, and about 3 weeks ago, it finally go to the stage where i decided i have had enough, so i went on the lookout for a new job, i found one, went for it, and got it, so i handed in my notice this week, and so today was my last day woohoo :lol:
but as i missed out on the final 3 years of my Volvo Master Technician course, i was left with no qualifications :cry: but i still got a certificate to prove that i completed the first year of compulsory college
as for the new job, i will be working for Manheim Europe, who are a car auction company, and i will be doing vehicle inspections, not quite the same as before, but i will be getting paid more money so i cant complain
roll on monday :cheesy: :lol:

Good luck with the job anyway.

Sounds like a good job, well done.

I wonder if you can put an offer on a car you like before it goes to auction? that would be good :P

Yes, nice one fella.

I remember when 'Yes' car credit went bust and the vehicle inspectors were reported saying "yeah 120 point inspection - haha we just tick all the boxes anyway" :|

Hope you get on well James.
