NJS 4270 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 In a bit of a strange mood - I've finally been offered a new job but I still need some self-convincing to embrace it which is making me worried that deep down it's not quite right. Go back and read some of your threads about how desperate you were to move on. There is always the fear of the unknown and even sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward. If you applied for it you must have wanted it. Make sure its not fear of change holding you back...........Grasshopper I know being too settled is part of it - really I should have left long before now - its just that what they've offered though fine in itself left me feeling not wanted enough - they've offered me just more than my current basic + on call allowance as a basic with the promise of good bonuses - it's not really the money as such - I just wanted a sign at the start that they really wanted me by offering me a "token" increase in basic. I suppose I'm being a bit daft really. Not knowing what you do but thats probably right. I know enough to know you hate your boss and hate where you are so just make the move. Its more dosh and the fact they havent thrown down palm leaves should just fire you up to prove yourself. Go for it......(My saying in life....LTS.....Lifes Too Short) Well I've verbally accepted the job - now I can get on with the other life projects.

Renton 20505 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Woke up this morning feeling the weight of the World has been lifted from my shoulders, as fingers crossed I know what I will be doing in my next role job wise. It's funny, people think theat being on 4 months garden leave should be great, but for me it's been nothing but a source of anxiety and depression, one of the worst periods in my life so far. And that's on full pay, to be long-term unemployed is unimaginably horrific to me. I couldn't even post on here because I felt so down about things. Good thing is I still have nearly another month on full pay to enjoy things now, and I can, knowing I have a more secure future. Off to Italy in a couple of weeks and really looking forward to it.

Rent-Tits. Had no idea you had this shit going on. Glad to hear you've got sorted anyway. Cheers Gemmill (and Fish). I found myself in the almost insane position that the NHS preferred to pay me not to work than just let me go. Because of this I've probably wiped out about two years worth of the average tax payer's contributions. Of course it's a bit more complicated than that but the NHS will waste literally billions of pounds on shit like this during their reorganisation, if it goes ahead. Like NJS I have reservations about my future job (better pay but worse terms and conditions) but I'm determined to make it a success. Going to be much harder than my old role though, and mean a lot of travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poll please Nick-Kielce-Poland Fuck that, let him just explain to us how because we haven't spent much on said embryo/scratching it's far more enjoyable than those expensive, better quality scratching/embryos!

The Fish 10495 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Oh so very hungover. Fucking awesome party. At midnight I was making my excuses and was heading for bed when one of the girls asked me to si in the taxi a second for a chat. I drunkenly obliged and subsequently found myself inside a club 2 miles away... Got in around 4am ... I think. Ate pig, drank lots, my friends bought me a bike and all the kit to go with it because they squirrelled out of me that it's one of the next purchases I've got planned. Said goodbye to my 20s in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably better than watching your aged mam in law dancing to "When the saints come marching in". Surprise parties.....that was a fucking surprise I can tell you.....

Load of ready meals in the freezer and lock the doors, she'll be fine. Am off tomorrow for 5 days too. Will keep the bairn with us this time though.
