Yep you are right Roy, I would much rather have left, I have to work until Christmas Eve to rub salt into the wound, and of course if you choose to leave before then you don't get a penny! Makes it hard looking for a new job when you cannot start until 2nd Jan 2006 an Christmas is probably the worst time to look for a job, mind you my wife had suggested working in a grotto, wearing red and shouting ho ho ho
Was a Business Consultant specialising in computerised manufacturing and distribution systems but now enjoying my retirement!
Hi Martyn
Yes, fireworks are a problem but hopefully it only lasts for a couple of weeks a year. However, air brakes on lorries buses etc, god, that really freaks a horse. Lost my stirrups many a time due to air brakes!

Gill Ruth works for the NHS and half of her office have been made redundant due to this new shake up....she is anticipating the same any moment now...great two of us on the dole in time for Xmas....orange and nuts in a stocking kids and half a roast potatoe each!

Which part of the NHS is Ruth in,PCT or Acute trust? and what part of the country are you from
We have been promised minimal redundancies but expect those that do happen to come from support staff
As you say its a lovely life
Gill she is PCT and we are based in Hampshire. Yes it does seem to be support staff, admin, secretaries that are going mostly. A lot of the managers are also having to be interviewed for their own jobs as merge from variuos regions the same jobs! Fancy being interviewed to keep the job you do!
i work for Crown Office & The Procurator Fiscal Service and the long suffering Jack is in Double Glazing (not sales!!)
I live up the North East and worked for a well known Sugar company for 24 years down London up until 2 and a half year ago when I decided all that commuting was slowly doing me in. After having a lovely 5 months off I now work as a team leader for another food company making artificial flavourings for all that wonderful food we all eat. What I really would like is a job in a brewery as a beer taster but cant seem to find one.
I work in the NHS as a senior support worker with adults with learning difficulties and the wife does the same. Richaed W
I take my hat off to anybody who works in the hospitality trade.....all those ungrateful and difficult customers, I'm afraid they'd be wearing their starters before it got to the table!!!!!

HI
Hi
Until recently I was a Primary School Deputy Head. Forced to resign due to ill-health (stress) Now I'm a part-time supply teacher and enjoying this. I can now work with kids without all the crap bureaucracy and paperwork. I've got my life back and I can spend MORE TIME CARAVANNING.
Cary, my wife, has just got a new job as a language support teacher - she goes around different schools advising on and helping pupils with language difficulties.
