14th March 2000 redux

[perlmonger]

Back home again after my last day contracting at Motorola. Again.

Last time I left it was due to one pdcawley tempting me to Virgin Mobile (or v.omit as it became affectionately known); this time I leave due to a clash of greed between two sets of pimps.

Whatever. We have more than enough work at Horus to keep me busy for a bit, and if things continue to work the way they have been and the way we hope, I may never need to encube myself again.

Which would be nice.

Having said that, I would still be unsurprised if I found myself back at SDLC in Motorola yet again one day... At least I leave the code in good hands this time.

Virgin Mobile

I hope you've been addresssing the auto-address facility on their registration website. I tried to register two phones for the kids to get the free airtime but, because this house is a new-build, when you put in your postcode it shows you a list of exiting numbers but not the new. Then when you try to abandon the operation, it kindly decides to assign you a spurious house number anyway. Then despite numerous calls to the inchbrow-zoids, the system refuses to allow a manula change. Net result, I can't get auto-swipe cards sent to my address. Instaed they go half a mile up the road to where a shaven-headed, Doberman owner whittles away human bones for a hobby. I'm not minded to go and ask for misdirected mail. Virgin Mobile ? Virgin Cunts more like.
