  • beanie - you're naughty - hadn't thought of that ;)

    I can't drive - I've had 2/3 bottle of perry which is about 5% and 3 big slugs off cherry brandy so I'll be over the limit and I don't drink and drive at all, I'm a bit anal about it.

    They are a right bunch of !!!!!!:mad: He deserves to be happy and I know he wont ever be that while he is working there. I wish we could afford for him to just walk out and leave them in the lurch but he will be relying on them for a reference and I know he wont do that, he is a very proud man:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    OH lou that's so sad. I really hope the company goes belly up and he gets his redundancy... god that sounds like an awful thing to say doesn't it. Could hubby use it as a confidence boost? I mean, he must be something special, something another company would want. Perhaps he could use this to spur him into looking for something else?

    Well I am off to bed now, I need to hatch a plan that gets my hubby out of that !!!!!! hole of a factory. Its not the job he hates actually, he is a very talented man and takes pride in his work, its the aresholes that work there that make it impossible for him.

    I will think of something......

    I could cry for him Toto, it is heartbreaking to see a clever man who is talented and such a good worker be beaten down like this. He has no drive left, they have taken everything and although I give him ideas and have shown him advertised jobs and college courses he just shakes his head as though he has nothing left in him.

    I hope the bloody place is closed before christmas, he will definitely be a different man if that happens.
