Some times it has too be said,

Depends what trade you're in. Engineering is going through somewhat of a boom of late. Skilled machinists are commanding top dollar in some places. It's the lack of a home grown skill base that's scuppering things. You can have as many qualifications under your belt as you like, but it means nothing unless you can do the job you're 'qualified' for.

Sounds like you've got things pretty much sussed anyway dude.. Fair fucks to ya!

I'm lucky in that there's still quite a lot of metal bashing in the area. There's usually somewhere where you can get in doing something or other, with an option on ending up doing something else. All part of life's rich wotsit.

I guess it's a "Well done for leaving a crap job" to you, Mr. Squid. Good luck in finding a new (and better!) job soon.

Is 10am too early for a pint (or two) of Old Peculiar??

Nothing worse than a bad job, grats on telling them were to stick it I did that in 1978 and have enjoyed life ever since :)

Cheers Dave, I'm fine for a good while yet.
Had an exit interview today, you'd thing personnel had never heard the term, 'fucking sociopath.'

Yeh.. "Because [manger] is a bell end" doesn't compute as a reason to want to leave a job..

Actually our HR "people" spend a lot of time telling us managers that employees leave their managers ..... handy cop out for issues of pay, company policy/hassle etc etc.

Small update.
Had a phone call from an old gaffer crewing up for a new job so it looks like I'm sorted. It's local, enough money and he's a decent sort to work with. I'm going to have to buy a video to keep up with Jeremy Kyle though.

Yes good news indeed - and your time between jobs has been an extended summer break

(just a shame it's been such a crap summer)
