    I am afraid the OP is known for starting these kinds of threads, he never takes on board the advice given. I read his posts for entertainment and the pm's he seds accusing people of being homophobic.

    Don't assume that an admin job will preclude having to work standing up:

    great news - just don't quit at the first sign of things not being easy

    when I first started my current job in 2007 I was on 16k basic for 50 hours a week. I am the only one from my course who lasted more than 2 years and some said I was an idiot for staying

    7 years later I am now on 50k a year for a 30 hour role working from home with the same company. Those that left that I am in contact with mostly earn roughly half what I do - who is the idiot now?

    Nearly everyone starts at the bottom and works to get to the top - but when you get there the view can be pretty good.

    BooHoo seem to be a good employer, sometimes they will offer a better job to someone who works hard when they get the chance. Many of us have done jobs below our ability which has lead to something better. I think it's all about attitude and your attitude is very negative there is always an excuse why every opportunity is wrong. I understand that being unemployed is soul destroying I struggled to get a job, any job when I left school. Give it a go and see what it leads to you don't know that it will affect you adversely.

    Boohoo the clothing company?

    Waiting for the thread in a few months time where he's been fired because he indulged his jeans fetish in the premises.

    I have noticed on here that some users doesn't like people on benefits.


    Even a user on Consumer Action Group stated the same. who the hell you lot think you are??

    In many cases they are the people getting their heads down in jobs that they don't much like, come rain or shine, to support themselves, their families, and you.

    So when you repeatedly gloat on here about your continued efforts to avoid finding work, they of course want to pick you up on it.

    I take a different tack, by the way. I, too, pay in to support you, but thankfully doing a job that I love. I log on to read your posts to remind myself that there actually is some sort of justice in the world sometimes, and that many people struggling deserve to struggle. It lets me keep my happy outlook and sunny disposition.

    As to your job, well done. I'll bet good money that you conspire to lose it within a year...
