    Ive been on the "stamps" since i was made redundant. up to that point i was employed for over 11 years and its really shyte being unemployed, granted i didnt sit on my arse for the last six months, but standing in the dole office on a wednesday morning has a way of sucking the will to live right out of you.

    Ive had an interview with this company 2 weeks ago, they want to see me now in 45 mins.. im pretty excited.

    Its potentially the worst paying job i'll have ever held, probably not much above the min wage.. but as jobs are like hens teeth now, its a job and i just want to be working again, Necessity takes priorty over pride

    Fingers crossed :o

    Thats the right attitude to have - I'd take a low paid job over no job any day. Good Luck!

    I once texted my local radio station asking if anyone had a cure for hens with toothache... The presneter read it out, copped it was a prank, and went on a rant about time-wasting texts and calls.

    Where did Snyper go? I hope karma didn't kick in and his "meeting" wasn't a large man having his way with him...
