It's Monday morning

For F%*&$ sakes!!!!

Mom had a minor accident with her car last week. Some guy drove into the back of her, and the damage is minor. In fact, I told her to ignore it. However, she said the boot was sticking, so I said go and let your panel beater friend have a look and tell you what the cost is. ZAR300! Her excess on an insurance claim is ZAR1500, so I said, have it fixed, pay for it, and I'll claim the money back from the guy who rode into you.

Noooooo!!!! The panel beater said she must put in an insurance claim, and notify the 3rd party with regards the cost. Do me a fucking favor. It's ZAR500!!! So now her insurance wants 3 quotes, blah, blah, blah.... , apart from which they won't fucking pay for it in the end anyway as it's way below her excess! All she will do is fuck up her no claim bonus. So I said, again, just have it fixed and bring be the invoice. I'll sort it out.

I also have a booklet with 10 raffle / lucky draw tickets to sell, as part of the fund raising for the Malaysian Hockey Tour GMan is going on next year. At a cost of ZAR200 each it's not easy. First (only) prize is ZAR15000, but not too many people want to part with ZAR200.

And I approached a couple of companies (typically school kids target market) about taking out an ad. in the Year book, (more fund raising effort stuff). 6 Dead ends in one morning. I can't believe a cycle shop, and two motorcycle shops don't understand that the school boys are their target market. Are they completely fucking stupid, or is it a case of "We make so much fucking money anyway, with or without advertising, why should we support you?" I'll tell you why you cripple cunt, because when I go and buy my next bike for my youngster, I won't be coming to you now, will I. And when I decide to by myself a bike, it won't come from your shop, will it? And if one of my family decides to get into cycling, well, fuck you but no thanx!!!

And that dumb fuck at the Water plant shop, if you can't make a cash payment for ZAR200 for a half page ad, without having to work it into your 2008 budget which you will only finalize next year Feb, well then that sealer I wanted to buy for my shower floor will not be coming from your shop. DOOS!!!!!

Then it's the golf day.
I have a couple of guys who sound like they will be sponsoring a corporate 4 ball, but the one guy, who's not short of funds by any means, at first sounded keen, bet when I told him it's for the school, he turned like a wounded tiger, and said NO! Now, his opinion is they only support charity organisations, because as soon as you support a school it never stops. HUH? And the charities don't keep coming balk for more?? I think he's pissed off with the school cause when he tried to enroll is son he was turned down..... Apart from which, he could have made the donation / sponsorship in his private capacity, and his business didn't even have to feature!

Finally, my boss has booked me for a meeting on Wednesday afternoon, supposedly to discuss next years plan.... I wonder? I have accepted, and will see what he has to say....

Salagatle!
