    And pray, tell me, why is your need to be stimulated greater than other people's need to be stimulated?

    Of course you can do any sort of work - if you were hungry enough you would! Where is your self-respect? You expect other people to do work that is "beneath" you?

    If ever I come across your beautifully-scripted CV, I know what I should like to use it for!

    This is the REAL world - sadly 99% of us do what we have to do - not what we would want to do.

    :( I never said anything like it was beneath me Thoroaks , its just I have a very high functioning mind, probably higher than you will ever know, and I get bored VERY easily. I just would not last in such a position.

    Well I have not taken any holiday this year,as I understand it, as long as I am free to sign I can take a couple of weeks, so I'll let them sort out the course, then announce my holiday or something, miss a few days for family emergencies and sickness. Plus they are changing over to the new New deal, so that should all confuse them a bit

    Do not fear, where there is a will there is a way!
    You will hopefully get sanctioned. If its anything like where I used to work then they can spot a scammer a mile off.:T

    And if you have such a high-functioning mind, why have you not embarked upon a scheme to make money which precludes you from having to work with people who obviously do not stimulate you? I know several who have - and who are enjoying the proceeds of their mental labour.

    Or is your mind on higher things all the time?:rolleyes:

    I dont want to scam anyone Esa, its just my job seeking activities are pivotal to me finding a suitable job, and as I said, its a very competitive market and I cant be doing charity work as I would not have so much time. You undertsand ? yes.

    :rolleyes:And is that shewn on your so-wonderfully crafted CV? Easily distracted ?

    Perhaps a period of application to a low-paid job might prove more beneficial than you would think - if getting a job is more important to you than the money:rolleyes:

    I don't think so, most of these kind of jobs are terribly repetitive , thats not my kind of work.

    I am more of a free spirit.
