  • Hope you're not in too much pain, SH. Is this job a temp one? Are you still applying for others?

    Aw hun, you sound pretty miserable. I hope that the fall related bit isn't too painfull.

    It is horrible when you hate your job isn't it, when I was in a bad place with mine it seemed to just drag down every part of my life (((hugs)))

    hi paid and snow white - thanks for asking... my knee was agony yesterday - partly due to the 3 or 4 hours I spent driving to work and back. I do need to look for another job - but don't want to hobble into an interview!
