in Debt-free wannabe
Morning all,
I suppose I best start a new one so as not confuse everyone.

Today's dilemna:
Should I stay, or should I go??
If I go, will I have to pay for my car service (even though my car I was promise in contract has yet to materilise)
Should I just sit here and apply for jobs, or is that dishonest?
Should I actually TRY and do something for this company?
Should I go home and sell everything not nailed down on ebay?

Answers on a postcard please...:o

    Hi bunny!
    So many questions!
    Do nothing until you've had a nice cuppa tea!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    A word from the really daft one (me) who walked from a job...

    It's easier to find a job when you are in a job, don't ask me why but employers look at the unemployed bit and read unemployable. Do I sound bitter, sorry. On the good side it did make me sit back and realise that I had been doing the wrong job for a while, my other half is supporting me now (only fair, I have contributed more financially in the past) so that I can take a full-time college course.

    I would send an email, from work, to all your friends and strike two good blows in one.

    1. Tell them to link to this website http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/confirmsubscription.faces?siteId=3&sourceClassId=5&sourceId=3&poid=0x2dce12e72d721d73c0a80a4f&link=ctg_ars_confirmsubscription_from_email and raise money for charity and whilst they are there they can send you a cute email for free and raise even more for charity. :A

    2. Hopefully you have loads of friends and the incoming emails will block up your employers server. :rotfl:

    Good luck.

    Go. But in your own time.

    Nope. They can't make you pay for something you have not received.

    Yes, you should. No, it's not dishonest.
    Bunnyinthelights wrote: »

    Yes. Get your name and face known to this company's contacts. Put your best bits forward. You never know, there may be opportunities there for you.
