Hello Anthony!

On 08 Jul 94, you said to Geoff Armstrong:

GA>> No, I won't get anywhere near what I've spent on it, but $2200
GA>> goes handily towards my deposit. Westpac told me today I'll need
GA>> $7000 deposit + $3000-$4000 gvmt charges and bank fees.

AM> That's a tad on the high side, isn't it?

Yeah, Suncorp have much lower rates (it appears to me) approx $2500
including the solicitor I have to provide myself.

GA>> They'll give me the money in three months, after I've shown them
GA>> my "good savings record"...

AM> Give you what money - the loan itself?  You mean that they want you to
AM> have banked with them for a period of time first?

Yup. That's the gist of it. I asked them if I could call the new account
"The Geoffrey E. Armstrong Extortion Account", since I was being
forced to open and operate against my will. They said "no". So I
said "well, so long!"

GA>> I've also been working a shit load of overtime. Monday I
GA>> worked from 7:30am to 8:30pm, Tuesday from 07:30am to
GA>> 07:30pm then 11:00pm to 05:00am, today (Wednesday) I worked
GA>> from 07:30am to 07:30pm, then I'm going back at 10:00pm
GA>> till about 01:00am. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
GA>> Money, money, money. I NEED money.

AM> What do you actually do at work, btw?

Maintain and repair AXE (electronic switching) telephone exchanges, and
respond to faults on same and related equipment after hours. Apart from
MobileNet, it's the cream job in the maintenance field, AFA I'm concerned.

GA>> Around three months, but I can poll from work everyday,
GA>> which I will be doing, so I won't be missing any mail at
GA>> all. I'll read it at lunchtime.

AM> Yeah, I like long lunches too...

That's why I like the days my boss has off on RDO. It's like having a
second RDO, for free!

Sea Ewes are round!
Geoff.
