Just an update

I am taking my first step in gainfull employment tomorrow for the first time since 2007.  I consider myself fit for certain types of work so I registered at an employment agency and they got me a weeks work as a machine operator.  Funny thing is I used to do this in the 80's for more money back then lol.

Oh well! ...its work and I need work experience to get back into the market.  There's not a lot available for the underskilled and under educated in dear old blighty  :lol  When I'm voted Prime Minister of the UK I'll ban agencies so's we can get real jobs  :old:

Some of you may know I've taken up writing a bit.  Here's a link to another story if anyones intersted.

Oh man!  Did my first days work in over 2 years.  I'm half crippled from it.  Backs killing me and feet have blisters.  All I done was stand all day operating presses.  Talk about unfit.. I feel older than this geezer -->  :old:

Hyster mate.  I know exactly what you mean.  On the up side it's closing on Christmas....plenty of casual to be had right now this month.  I used these 3 web sites last week and got some work.  Just put in Coventry and narrow the search to "this week &  search all jobs".   Good luck man.

Thanks for thinking of me but not yet.  That illness I had robbed me of a few things.  I'm catching up on life right now.  Can't see me be back for some time.  I need a job.  Need to treat me Mrs and I wanna catch up on some writing.....oh and I need a week off after doing my first weeks work in 2 years  ....nearly bleedin killed me  :D

I'll be haunting the boards though.  Keeping up with updates and chipping in where I'm not wanted  :lol
