What a crap few months!

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **on:** June 06, 2013, 07:06:13 PM

Just found out I'm being made redundant on the 22nd of july

Now I could deal with this if I wasn't currently looking for somewhere to live urgently. Had a 10 year old son in bits because he lost his mum just before Christmas, and wasn't so physically knackered that finding another job would be easy!

Things can be pretty smurfe at times!

On the plus side it gives me more time here

Hang on there Mike. Life sucks at times, but its the ones who walk through the valleys with their heads held high that see the opportunities sooner.

Oh it won't beat me, as I never let anything get to me to badly.

I'll bounce back, after all you can't keep a good man down, or even a crappy one like me

Well that sounds like a bucket of old doo doo Mike... sorry you're having a trial

As for a new job, are you not thinking of taking the international playboy route?

Don't worry Mike, we've felt you were redundant a lot longer than your employer has and we still keep you!

Sorry to hear Mike! Keep yer chin up. Times have been rough here too, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, there's always light.

I'm sorry to hear about your current situation.

I hope things get better soon.

firiki · **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2013, 04:20:01 AM

Things aren't bright here either despite the weather being all nice and scorching sunny, if that makes you feel any better.

Hope I hear better news from you soon

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2013, 06:54:51 AM

Thanks guys

I'm fine just venting really.

As for pay, well I'm bound to Gert more money than Dunc on account of me being a very good looking chap, and him being a bit grotty

Basic electrical work I can do, you might have to pay for the flight though

Still on the unemployed boat here too mate, things are sorta looking better at last, but I'd hate to get tied to a desk at work now that summer is about to start...
