On the hunt again
- Thread starter Dazz
- Start date
True, but it all comes back to the definition of the word retirement.
I've never been one to be happy lying on a beach sipping dacquiri's. I reckon anyone with enough get up and go to get into that position where it becomes a reality, won't be able to simply switch off that engine and just loll about for the next 50 years. I certainly don't plan to.
My definition of retirement is I don't have to do what the boss wants me to do.
Working 14 hrs a day on a deal, where if it comes off, you get 100% of the benefits is rewarding. Working 14 hrs a day so the boss can say to yeah, righto, but be in early tomorrow cos I want you to now do this instead doesn't quite have the same motivation factor to it. Regardless you get paid the same whether you do that, or slink off to the cafe with the workmates and talk about how much your job sux.
Walking around in your PJ's at 11 in the morning at home, talking with some head knob over in Sydney closing a deal ain't exactly working hard, certainly not by my definition of work.
Whats Mrs M reckon about that.
Pardon my ignorance Dazz but I thought with contracts, that all parties are bound to outline any alterations/amendments??? I'm assuming this is not the case when fishing in the bigger ponds you swim in?
Also, there are some pretty smart freeware programs that will trawl though multiple doc's (legal, PDF, applications or whatever) and highlight the changes in a matter of seconds.
PM me and I'll send you a few links if you like?
Cheers

PS: please keep the updates coming. v entertaining..
Due to no legal binding contract having been executed between both parties as yet, we are not bound by anything at all.
We are negotiating the Sales Contract....everything is up for grabs until both parties have inked.
Sure - once it's signed off by both parties, all subsequent amendments need to be agreed in writing. Until then, it's all fun and games and you need to be on your toes.
Size of the pond or the barracuda's patrolling the waters has no bearing on this stuff.
Thanks for the offer, but I fear my dunce level of all things IT would render me frustrated at the programs not working. When putting significant sums on the line, I don't want to put my faith in some pimply IT kid who says 'sure, it'll work, no worries'. He ain't got the beanies to back up that statement.
Yes, I had (incorrectly) assumed you had already progressed to the inking stage and was thus perplexed with the shenanigans of hidden clauses. Right you are!
As you say, it ain't over til the fat lady sings!
No problem.
But do know that that same pimply IT kid as also writing the code for the banks that hold your millions hard earned...
Oh, and here's another pimply faced kid that may have some of these "beans" you speak of...
No problem.

Being one of those pimply IT kids and with some years experience in the finance sector I can assure Dazz that he's taking the correct approach.
You would not believe the malarkey that goes on. Millions being treated in a way I wouldn't want to treat a hundered!
i would say using both methods to be double sure ;D

If I was unfamiliar with IT, I would not out of the blue entrust microsoft products before umderstanding the either, when I know I can do it myself
my last version of windows media player would not play movies ? good programming - how would that IMPROVE or HELP what is already being done to to the level required by Dazz ?

How did you change the first letter of every word except "if" to a capital letter ?
Common now..we all know our eyes only need to see that the 1st and last letter of a word are in the correct order and our brain will tell us the word
Maybe Jaycee gets very excited when typing.
Mate, I have no idea. I originally wrote my post in all caps, but the mods don't like that it seems, cause when it posted, only the first letters were in capitals. Overzealousness reigns supreme.
That's why I edited it - it looked stupid with all capitals. I hadn't even noticed that the quote ended up being all capitals as well until you mentioned it.

That's how I figured out Mark Laszczuk's surname is pronounced Lakers
just kidding Mark, don't get me started on minePardon my post Dazz and please accept my apologies for sidetracking an otherwise great thread.
My reference to Mr Gates was tongue in cheek (anyone tried using Vista lately) and was merely a fellow IT pundit's attempt at sarcasm.
You know, there really needs to be a "sarcasm" key on keyboards....it would make life so much easier..
Perhaps they could put it next to the "any" key..
