Jobs....?

[aly888]

Lol,im a halfords veteran too I left coz they wouldnt give me more money, but as soon as I handed my notice in they suddenly offered to pay me more than my new job (but only just). I politely declined coz I got fed up with dealing with customers face to face every day

Yeah, pendragon doesnt have the best rep in the world. Its just a massive pain in the bum that they own something like 300+ of the car dealerships in uk coz it makes them harder to avoid
As for the kerridge thing, I guess with the number of dealerships they own it was probably cheaper for them to use their own software than to pay someone else for the privilege. But im sure if I needed to I could pick it up quick enough!! Quite a few bodyshops have taken on the pendragon system too so it must be cheaper than kerridge (coz none of them 'like' using it). I cant see why else they would switch

Halfords? This is scary your like me but live somewhere different and have a LO! Haha. Whats the system called? We have a bodyshop on site. I just love doing bodyshop warranty claims! Lol.

I think we share the same anniversary aswell according to our tickers?

[aly888]

Lol, I was thinking you were like me but in another place too

The system is called Pinnacle. Its a pretty generic name really!!
We used to have a bodyshop on site too but pendragon dont like bodyshops much and closed alot of them down. We now use the space as a second workshop!!

Oh yeah,and to add to the similarities, did I read somewhere that your birthday is in june too?? xx

 

[4magpies]

We use EMACs at our body shop. I hate hate hate it! Lol.

Yeah June the 15th! When is yours? So your a Gemini too?! This is freaking me out quite alot! In a nice way though honey as we seem on the same wavelenght... I think your lovely alread just from your posts on here....!

[aly888]

Aww thanks hun
And I am a gemini, yeah but my birthday is the 2nd xx

 

[4magpies]

Your a year older than me though arent you as your 24 this year?

It would of been really scary if we had the same birthday! Lol.

xx

 

[aly888]

Lol,it would have been!! Yeah im gona be 24

Anyway, talk about taking over a thread going slightly back on topic, do you plan to carry on working in a dealership? ie, do you see yourself as a DP one day? xx

 

[4magpies]

Erm... I see myself as warranty or aftersales manager maybe not DP. DP sounds scary & ours is an A hole. Id quite like to be a stay at home mum one day though as my OH has quite a well paying job although it is dangerous. Hopefully he will get upto site supervisor or something eventually!

lol, ours isnt great either. I've noticed that most DP's seem to come from a sales background which is what turns them into a-holes in the first place

Your OH is a scaffolder right? I would freak out if my OH was doing something as high risk as that. A few years ago he wanted to join the fire service but I wouldnt let him

 

[4magpies]

Yeah & sales... pfft!

Yeah hes a scaffolder and spends his day up at daft heights of 300ft lifting up 20ft poles over the edges of buildings and bridges!! I used to worry alot but I try not to it was taking over my life. I worry if he doesnt text me back!

I know when I do get preg and I have to tell him it wont be via a text at work! He would probably fall off with the shock! Haha.

Thats nice you're in a position to be a SAHM if you wanted to.

In an ideal world id like to set up a cake making business so i could work whatever hours i like but there just isnt enough money in it compared to what i do now, so i just dabble with it on the side making cakes for family, friends and friends of friends etc

I think id be doing it face to face in my case. But saying that I dont think I could keep it quiet that long. Haha.

I dunno if I could face doing a test with him actually there. I think I'd have to get used to the idea myself first. Last time I think I was in actual shock!

I worked 6 months voluntary as a vet nurse to get on the degree course then the uni decided I didnt have the right A levels to do the course! Was not happy. Was my dream job! You lucky thing!
