  • Glad you seem to have had a productive few days Mac, pants on the work situation though. I know how it feels, the work I have done for the last few years is not exactly specialised but there are a limited number of opportunities and the chances of any vacancies are slim. It's just a case of getting your CV as good as it can be.

    Hi Gill :)

    It's not really that work is pants, it's not. Just that I've gone as far as I can go with the current "administration". I need to move elsewhere to grow, as I've got someone's foot on my head where I am, so feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall.

    My CV is ok, just that the field I work in, 95% of jobs are in London and I am not....therefore jobs are not in abundance. I'm keeping an eye out now, plus I will start networking, but I'm not in a rush.
    TBH, I will leave with a very heavy heart, but I need a new challenge or I'll get stale.

    Hi Mrs! Loving the enthusiastic you. I didn't know my son Kevin the teenager had gone to your house :p Please don't rush to send him back!

    I hope you have a productive paper day tomorrow. I am desperate for some time to myself to sort out all the paperwork. Since my little chunky chops arrived, letters have been 'filed' in various drawers, one of which i am struggling to close :o My files are crying out for order to be restored :D
    One step at a time ;)

    Thanks Hopeful, the reason I have 3 large boxes of unfiled paperwork is because of my own little chunkies! :D

    Now the youngest is almost 4, it's time to sort it. So today is life laundry day.

    I woke up with a feeling of dread at the enormo task of finding another job :(

    Right I'm duty to get the kids to school and nursery this morning, so better crack on. Have a good day if you're reading :)

    Try not to let the thought of job hunting get you down after feeling so positive yesterday.

    Try to focus on the good side..you have a job! Your company are not trying to oust you so it is up to you not to put pressure on yourself. Take your time so that you leave to go to the right job that suits you.

    I have a strong chance of NOT having a job come September. I love what i do at the moment so am torn between hanging on to see what happens or jumping ship and grabbing any job i can get. None of which i really what to think about as i love being home with my little chunky lol Shame i can't get paid to do just that ;)

    Happy sorting today! :D
