Untitled

i’m almost there, in fact i’m there but HR are dragging their feet over the car, i currently opt out of a company car and take the money instead – they want me to take a brand new company car over the used one i bought a month ago, the difference is my car is a BMW 320d Sport with alloys, sport kit etc and the car they are offering is a brand new 320d without the extras.

the other thing i’m not happy about is the tax you’ve got to pay on a company car, especially with petrol cards

neverless this should be sorted within the next week and i can tick it off my list!



buy a watch (read all 2 entries…)
getting closer

I’m not far off this now, i’ve been patient (and sensible) and waited – i am now into my second promotion and i’m going to get that watch!

Decide on a Rolex now (i’ve waited long enough)- either a Submariner Date, a GMT-Master II or Sea Dweller 4000.



read 20 books in 2006 (read all 8 entries…)
12, 13 & 14

12. Lonely Planet Guide to Yosemite National Park
13. Time Out San Francisco
14. Time Out Las Vegas

Hell there’s a lot to take in for this trip, managed to book all of my hotels now and a couple of shows/concerts. Using the Time Out Los Angeles book too but i can’t really add this to my list as i’ve read it before a previous trip.

If anyone is thinking of getting a travel guide you really can’t get better than the Time Out.
