The good news is that the US road trip is back on. I attended the new job (remember it was only 9 weeks worth, 3 days a week) for "training" last night. The expectation was that you'd arrive at about 4pm on Sunday and leave site after 8:00 on Monday morning - and it could be well later than 08:00 if things weren't good. That made it more like 4 days a week, and all for only a very modest rate, so I gracefully declined their offer of further employment.

Am going to book flights today so nothing else gets in my way

Just heard, even George Lucas is finding it hard in these finacial times.

He's had his budget reduced on his new Star Wars film and has had to make some cost saving cuts.

Unemployed as of this morning 

A lot of underhand things have gone on behind the scenes and beyond my control so I have walked before I was pushed out the door. Trade union rep is on the case now but I had to go before the temper got the better of me.

I will probably regret going the way I did but ho hum,as one door closes another one opens.

[nopanic - neil]

Mike - sh*t - sorry to hear about that.

Good luck, I'm sure there will many doors for you and good luck.

Cheers

Sorry to hear that Mike. It would have been best to get kicked out as opposed to 'walking', but I supose 'constructive dismissal' could be a case in your favour. So, welcome to the club.

You may have to kick that 2nd door down as it is VERY slow in opening.

1st week of unemployment down and im properly fecked off with it already. Its not that the job hunting isn't going well because surprisingly it is and fingers crossed I will be working by the end of the month, its just the thought of not working thats pi$$ing me off. Loads of spare time to get the odd jobs done just isn't enough to amuse me. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 

[smokie]

I think you must be doing it wrong Mike!!

End of first week "Training" for new job - anyone want over 50's insurance give me a call. Sods law, the advertising for www.freefoods.co.uk just kicked in and the hit rate has jumped from 10 or so to 130 a day and we have had 4 orders, and then 2 "special" orders (non standard hampers) came in for www.diabetichampers.co.uk, not complianing, just knackered after 6 months on the rock and roll.

Interview tomorrow at 10.00hrs.

Not the best paid engineer's job around but decent area - Farnborough. At least I'll see the Air Show for free 

The other 3 applications I'm filling in are £10k more, but if offered, I'll take tomorrows' job and be done with. (Beggars can't be choosers and all that).

Had a good interview.

My second referee was the lead interviewers boss about 10yrs ago! also it transpires that I was at Naval School with him. Not that these new pieces of info are any help to my cause though.

Keeping fingers crossed still.

[mike(liverpool boys)]

Fingers crossed Leftie 

I have lost count of the number of jobs I have applied for in the past week.

On the upside though. My trade union rep phoned this morning to say they've had a bit of sucess investigating the things that led up to me leaving last week and all being will I could get a bit of a pay off for forced resignation
