Things that piss you off that shouldn't

I'll tell you something that really pisses me off:

The fact that an individual may have a great idea for a business venture, but the barriers to getting anything going are so high, that it's just not possible for the average person.

For example: I've been looking to set up a watersports venture in Cardiff (in partnership with another guy), but the costs just to get the planning permission required will top £12,000. It's a really sound idea, but without big money - we're not getting anywhere. Meanwhile we get refused grants on the basis that the activities won't be available at the Olympics, and hence they're at the back of the queue.

Proper filth bag as well (apparently).

I read it somewhere. I think it was in an interview with Steve Jones (C4 presenter). Obviously, he didn't say "She's a proper filth bag", but it was something to that effect.

I would love to think that she takes it up the...

Sorry i was thinking out loud! :D

Being told that after 5 years of working above and beyond, you won't have a job in a couple of months but in the same meeting being given 6 months worth of work to get done before you leave or you won't get your (small) payoff.

(I know this is the "but shouldn't" thread - the reason I posted is because I really can't stand my job so I should be delighted to get canned) ;)

Govt cut-backs - what can you do?

Bigger and better just around the corner (hopefully).

I know a few people including a poster on here how got made redundant then ended up getting a better job afterwards including their payoff.

Yeah, I thought I had a pearler lined-up. Was going to go in for voluntary redundancy and walk into a better job the next day, then they pulled the recruitment. Just have to hope that there's another one coming along soon :)
