you don't know of any offices in your local town

there are no council offices?

no solicitors offices?

no hotels?

no accountancy firms?

no schools?

no companies at all?

where do you live, the outer hebrides?

Well with that sort of initiative, I'm not surprised you're not getting anywhere. And I bet that sort of "can't do, don't know what to do" attitude shines through your workaday life of assistant under-assistant librarian or whatever it is that you are.

Negativity shines like a beacon, phil, and closes an awful lot of doors. So deal with it. Either give yourself a wake-up kick or accept your fate and stop whinging.

Yep, our phil thinks in terms of absolutes.....and him a graduate philosopher:rotfl:

I think it's good that his brain has not gone to sleep and he continues to look for solutions to his plight.

Life's what you make of it though Phil.

Do I spend my days cursing that person or do I get on with it. You should look at what you have got rather than what you haven't.

I know there are opportunities out there. I have seen some jobs I might have a chance to get, but I know the odds are against her.

I don't know any offices that would want me to work for nothing.

you wouldn't do it for £50

I think I can have double time if I work after midnight, not that I ever would need to so that is a meaningless part of my contract.

It really isn't worth working all day Sunday for £50 as far as I can see.

I don't know what my mates will do as they are still at uni but a business or computing grad is going to get further than a philosophy one aren't they?
