Re: September Army Thread

Morning Minnys, not at all Satz, you are dead right. I know its the devil you know, but have made inquiries else where? With your background, you have a lot of other sell-able skills. And maybe theres one out there that still have the residents at the heart of their business model.
Bridge, have you asked about alternative working hours, 4 days, work from home? In lala land, satz could take your extra hours :haha:

Im lying in bed having a little day dream about all the jobs I 'need' (aka a [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] makeover). Painting, Tree felling, Window cleaning, replace all the windows, half the doors, the entire kitchen... The 'honey do' list as mr M calls it.

Sounds fantastic over there Molly!

Sun is shining, the wind is blowing in the window and theres not a hangover in sight. 1 more cup of tea before I get my arse in gear...

Re: September Army Thread

Crikey benjy that does sound bizarre...where I work they don't want part-timers at all and anyone who has clung onto less hours if they ask to go full-time they are taken back with open arms...they really should be delighted!..
I'm in Turkey - the hotel is built over the sea so just roll off into deep deep water - it's truly heavenly ...all the advantages of Italy or greece etc at quarter the cost..

I've forgotten to press the last button for lottery..cudda lost over 120 mill last week thankfully our numbers didn't come up

Re: September Army Thread

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION] - YAY for the boots & jumpers :yay:
And yes I have been sending my CV half-hertedly - got one offer but was still part-time relief work at LESS money. Didn't think that was possible.
I may re-gig my CV and stop underselling myself :thumbsup:
But as I said age is against me now.

Re: September Army Thread

The plasterer just left and the quote is surprisingly low price. He's just back from the Orkneys so we looked at his holiday pictures. I reckon me and Bess will get along nicely with him.
Just the loft ladder to sort..............sigh.

Ooh yes jumper weather, just put one on and I feel comfy and warm.

Jenny is in mourning as her guinea pig, Monty, died last night.

Right Lidl here we come.

Its another case of box-ticking and its sodding ridiculous and agism. Of course, you can't complain as all of a sudden your job will get just a tad more difficult with the hours being changed at the drop of a hat.
Rock and a hard place and constructive dismissal come to mind.

Agree totally Jacks - box ticking & regulated to within an inch of it's life. Policy is to interview inside & out for a job. Logic does not come into it.
FFS !!

Funny you should say that Jacks 'cos I was trying to understand why of a sudden my work has been scrutinized ... after 2 years - now I am not doing the right thing with regard to transferring calls etc.
It's firefighting with them - everything is fine until a family member has the CHEEK to complain - then we are blamed for not doing the right thing.

But yeah I think if it starts to get to me - I should get out. Too bloody long working for that shite.

I think we( of a certain age) may think more of our age than others? Nowadays it's common - and going to become normal- to work till 70 and also it's not the norm anymore to stay in the same job ad infinitum so we are as much ( and more - with experience) use as anyone to an employer...don't undersell yourself - bastarding awful important 'bosses' belittle others to make themselves feel more important

Now wouldn't we look pretty flouncing around in dem yokes in the snow & rain :haha:
Lost in translation : a jumper is a wooly garment - perhaps Lambswool - from where, no doubt, the name come.
