Hi all

CAFCgirl Happy Birthday (before I forget - I'm bound to miss it otherwise LOL) and hope you get that money soon!

Still no news on last week's job. I have about 20 or so active job applications thought that I am waiting for them to shortlist on - I could become a professional candidate if they all come through at the same time! Apparently a lot of people are waiting for the new budget year of April before going ahead with jobs.... Hard waiting tho...

CAFCGirl

am in such a mood!!!!

Money still hasnt gone in! Good god, is it really that hard to just pay someone their redundancy!
Such a crock!

Good luck with the job hunt tho SH, something will come up real soon.
Thanks for the bday wishes, i've got a few days yet before my new year LOL so am making the most of them....

Bloody hell CAFC, are they mining the gold for the reserves before they pay???

Happy birthday from me too - I am hopeless at remembering these things so if I say it now I won't miss 16th.

If it is any consolation I am in a pants mood too - work is poo and I have PMT which makes it a whole load worse. Ho hum, am getting closer and closer to calling my old boss and begging.

(thanks for the well wishes CMD - I know it is probably just teething problems but I can't help obsessing and fantasising about not being there, they have got 3 (soon to be 4) of us with jobs that overlap hugely which is a bit difficult as we are assistant director level and the whole place is a shambles (but they are deluded and think they are high performing) - thankfully there are loads of really nice people there, it really is the only saving grace and I know I should give it time for the rest to follow)

I must stop moaning about it though or I will become the miserable cow that just drags everyone down (on here and at work) - am off to get a baileys to make it all feel better

Aww PAID hun, sorry its all a bit cr&p at work....

My boss is forever telling me we choose our state.
Lucky people aren't lucky by coincidence, they are lucky by choice (difficult to comprehend sometimes!)
but when i think to myself, im going to be happy today, and everything will go smoothly, 9 times out of 10 it does, and if it doesnt im better prepared mentally to deal with whatever spanner does get thrown into the works....

but then i come home and find ive still not got my money and then its deep breathing for an hour or so LOL

poorandindenial

LOL - I can talk passionately about what my job should be, but then it comes down to it and it is so frustrating that I have the breathe deeply moments.

A couple of weeks ago I decided that I wouldn't let it get me down and that I would come back fighting. Hmmm, maybe when I get over the PMT it will all seem a little rosier.

My new mantra: I do love my job, I do love my job, I do love my job...

CAFCGirl

and your job loves you xx

Do you ever feel like we are all in a Dilbert cartoon and that devil boss is real.... LOL

I have a violent veg desk calendar - and the caption for the week is "The best thing about Eddie's new job was the huge celery"..... as a potato in shirt and tie gazes adoringly at a tall celery stalk...

Still no news on new jobs or the huge celery - getting my best bonus ever tho!

Hi Saving H,

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Yay, I made a payment to MBNA and I am now under 18k. Feels great but I have fallen off the bandwagon a bit and should have way more paid off. I need to rein myself in a bit more I think.
