    For my new job the amount of byrocracy I need to go through is getting to the point of ridiculous. I am feeling VERY uncomfortable about it. If this new job didn't make such a huge difference in my life I would be quite tempted to tell them to keep it.

    Anyhoo - Jo well done for last night and Pen - you can do it. Also hugs to 365

    Oh no you don't marru, this is your dream job, they're going to pay you somewhere nearer your worth and you'll be closer to bf. It's only Bureaucracy! You can do it:A

  • VERY quick post!

    I spoke to my section manager and he was ok about my request to do less shifts - he didn't go ape, thank goodness.

    So I've still got to work 4 nights a week for the next fortnight, but he's agreed I can start 2 hours earlier and so I finish at 10pm instead of midnight, which will help enormously. Then after 2 weeks, I should be able to go down to working 2 evenings per week - what a relief! Its not been formally agreed yet, but it looks like it should be ok.

    :D So much happier already!

    Hugs to all. I am off to work now.

  • Great news Caz.

    Hi and welcome to all newbies who've come out of lurkdom this week where I've disappeared into this week. Lonely in there!

    Put me down for 15 again please Shaggy.

    DS1 had a job interview today and we were so excited. They said they'd ring this afternoon but haven't :mad:. Why do they do that and leave you sitting by a phone all day?
