Doing ok squirrel features, ta for asking. Nothing of note to share. Looking forward to my week off and pottering around the garden, maybe get to the pool a couple of times and keeping well away from the pub.

Nice one Tabbers. A week off would be bliss I think. We work in such stressy environments that being at home and away from it all is sometimes all that is required to get the balance back. Is it next week you are off?

Sure is then I have my review when I get back. No worries on that front but I need to sort my t&c and wage structure as promised. If not I will start looking elsewhere, not that there is much choice for an old geezer like myself but I think sometimes we need to make our choices for all the right reasons and stick to them.

I have my review next week too.
Good for you, and stop thinking of yourself as an old geezer. I am the same age as you and we both have LOADS to offer the workforce and lets not forget it!!

Its not necessarily me thinking that Starty, its prospective employers. Just read this, this morning:

Ireland's unemployment rate rose to an 18-year high of 14.9 per cent in June, underscoring the country's struggle to stimulate economic growth in the face of austerity measures, government statisticians reported Wednesday.

The rising joblessness could have been worse but for Ireland's tradition of mass emigration in times of economic hardship.

The Central Statistics Office says about 76,000 left this country of 4.5 million last year for stronger job markets in other English-speaking countries — chiefly Britain, Australia and Canada — and the trend has continued this year.

Its the same over here. And the media can tell us anything we want. But if we believe everything we read in the paper we would be a right depressed bunch I would never have gone for half the jobs I have if I believed I didnt have a chance of being the one to get them

Morning Satzuma,

You're sounding on fine form this morning, me dear.

Good morning, Army

Now that I've gotten up off the floor after falling over from shock at who the thread starter was...

Considering a 30% + unemployment rate in countries like dear old Saffaland should place things in perspective... Not to mention poverty levels.

Cheeky beggar. Oh and good morning.

No idea what unemployment here is, but it's pretty shite.In fact I'm one of them.

Army Thread July 5th 2012

Good morning all. Yes Tipps that does put it all in to perspective. I suppose when I started work there was very little unemployment here in the UK and we were not aware of poverty etc elsewhere except for our collections in Convent schools for overseas orphans! We were so bloody patronising and way off the mark.
