if you pm me details of the nature of the council action against you i can have a look and think...

Apparently it was pretty vague and they told Tex to look on the net for the various plicy.

Building permits.
Noise/ Sound proofing permits.
Caretaker permits.

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 1:55 pm

Well for starters dont have any night parties for a bit aye

The rest mostly relates to having permission to live in the place id think. you can apply for permits I guess, which then involves them wanting to know the place is safe to live in, which might require reports, etc

they can enforce against non-complaince (i.e. living illegally) but it might be their discretion depending on whether you have applied to them etc

once this is on track you would think about the noise aspect

happy to provide more detail but would need to know what council require

@ FS - I was never that keen on the parties in the first place. Not against them but my use of th espace was for having a personal studio and somewhere to live. I'll get some more info and find hit you up laters. Cheers.

Rushed back from pub lunch for a meeting that got cancelled.

I could still be getting drunk on work time and money.

Gripe: Thought that I was going to have an assignment free uni break only to find out I have to now do 2 assignments by first day back. Also found out apparently I'm to tall to be flight paramedic, because they have height restrictions for under the rotors

Is there a park nearby? Maybe a short stroll with fix you up...

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 2:53 pm

it might help, but it might make it worse.

tbh i'd probably still be complaining if it were pissing down with rain and freezing.

figure if i smash a couple more hours i can still get a bit of sun.

gripe, being to retarded and procrastinating too much about finishing this marketing report, now forced to do the bulk of it tommorow in a zombie state. hating sitting on the computer for days with only 5 out of the 15 pages done and a headache every day.

I was told on Friday that I won't be going into the next round of interviews for the job I want. Apparently they simply don't believe that someone with my sales experience would want to go into a sales support role. It blows my mind that they won't actually take what I said in the two interviews at face value and are instead insinuating that I would want to move into sales too quickly for their liking. I don't even wanna be in sales! I've been screwed over too many times dammit. I've just sent an email asking them to reconsider and to fucking LISTEN to why I want to move out of sales. Overqualified apparently IS the new rejection

Amick · Post by **Amick** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:15 am

That sucks mixxy!!

Had a massive nap this arvo, entire leg has cramped up so much my knee refuses to straighten. A long night of intense pain and general discomfort ahead...

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:52 am

Got any salts (mineral, vitamin style) you could take? Work wonders for cramps.

Amick · Post by **Amick** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 2:30 am

when i say cramped, I should say muscle stiffness and soreness...the same feeling as a cramp though.

It may be less about whether they believe you than how much the person/people you'd be supporting could actually deal with it. Maybe they can already see you are better at sales than them? It which case, I probably wouldn't want to employ you in that role either. Still sucks though

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:18 am

sucks mixxy, but you would probably get really bored really quickly, and i guess it's a recruiter's job to recognise that. still, doesn't make it any easier when you're desperate for a job. i'm way over qualified for my job and it drives me fucking crazy. hang in there lady, the perfect job be oot thurr. that's my mantra at the moment anyway.

GOTD: C B farking F. Sleeplessness makes everything difficult.

To be honest I think iTunes is pretty awesome. Don't have 9 yet though.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:14 pm

I like iTunes too...

'specially since upgrading my NAS with firefly DAAP installed... works awesome.

i only ever use itunes on the mac, just to put stuff on the iphone. for everyday use, it's banshee ftw tbh.

I use Banshee too (on ubuntu)... it's good, although kinda ugly.

my gripe for just this second is that L is next to K on the keyboard.

consequently I just sent out a hastily typed email to a few work people where I have referred to employees in Banglol.

Not certain but I'm pretty sure I was trying to write Bangkok.
