Zens is off to see her Mom - it was a sorta treat for her 50th -- so yeah, she'll be over in wee Scotland by tomorrow!!!

No job is ever perfect and at times can have us driven to distraction but I suppose its a case of seeing the good points and keeping positive. If it really is a job we cant stand then plan a get out strategy, hmmm now where have I heard that before :hitme:
That trip home sounds lovely, thanks for the update.

Hello Mrs A & JC :welcome:

I can totally see where that guy is coming from Molly, its probably me these days. Ambition? been there done that and worn the t-shirt. So now a days I am in a job which is within my capabilities, there is no chance of moving up the ladder and I will probably see out my days there on the same low rate of pay assuming the company is still around. But seriously its fine, more than fine, its contentment to be out of the rat race of the past ten years.
Never thought I would get here but people change dont they?

Trouble is Molls I've got the attention span of a kitten in a wool shop at times and I forget what I was supposed to having a big think about.

Any way jumping in with an initial reaction is usually the best. Over thinking is our worst enemy.

With Mr JC going to a pawsh school he was expected to do a pawsh career. The Law.Believe it or not the Army (as an officer of course) was the next. TBH it's only in the last 13/14 years in this new firm he's in he's truly happy.

I know my kids both work in the dreaded alcohol trade but there's a blooming sight more than just serving a pint to it. Their management training will take them onto other things. TBH I can't see Jenz training cocktail training when she's 60, but she's now got the HR skills for later life.

Oops think I'm babbling.

EDIT: Orff to babble at work.

Morning all - just a quick fly by this morning. Yesterday morning I found out that my biggest client filed for bankruptsy on Friday - locked the door and fled to Australia. Many of my friends out of work. And who knows what that means to me. I am a little stressed and am updating the resume just in case. Trying to stay positive, no urge to drink at all which is great. Having this happen cost my company alot of money, and in tough economic times in publishing, this does not bode well. We'll see. I am keeping all those people who lost their jobs in my prayers. I remember what that was like when I was layed off years ago. Talk later

Morning again army I fell back asleep must be be making up for lost zzzzzz. Rain has stopped and its starting to brighten up a bit. Waggy sorry to hear about all those people losing their jobs its happening all over and still quite bad here. I hope your job is safe and it doesn't affect you too much. Guess all you can do is stay positive and its great that you have no urge to drink. That would be something that might have sent me to the vino but it doesn't solve anything and the problem is still there. Its to8ugh I know being in a job you don't like I've been there in the past but take the good with the bad do your best avoid the bullys if you can be assertive and keep your options open.:h

Hello Troops!!

For those in the dumps, Ten Hut!! Left, left, left, right left. Forward March. :-)

Here's how you do it:

That will make the day better. :-)

I, too, am at the stage in life where I want a job rather than a career. Been there done that on the career. Made it to the top in my field. About killed myself with stress. No more.

My motto used to be: "Failure is not an option." Today it is, "If it is harmful for me and my family, failure is the only option."

Waves to all my army friends and hope those in the dumps feel better. This too shall pass, as they say.

Zenners. I am sorry I could only chat for a bit yesterday. My two grandsons were helping me shovel gravel in the hot sun in order to get the pump set up and working on the swimming pool. Time was of the essence so that hubby could get it working last night. We did not want an algae bloom to get started.

But, I, too, want to wish you Bon Voyage, safe travels, happy times with family and good walks down memory lane in your home land.

I am so proud of you, Zenners. I hope you know that. :l:l

Take care, friends. I love to read your threads and your silly banter. You all make me smile.

Whizzy....I know you do a lot of hill walking and the like. I need to buy a waterproof jacket for Wales next week....are you by any chance in a position to recommend a make or point me in the right general direction? Need one with a hood, breathable fabric and not too heavy so's it can be easily folded away into a rucksack. Decent quality without costing silly money. Don't waste time on it...just wondered if you might be able to offer a little advice off the top of your head?
