I got a job!

So I guess you will be seeing less of me during the day (well, my daytime anyway). I start next Tuesday after the bank holiday and I can't wait

Doing what? Get me a job while you're at it.

Your day time is the middle of the night for us here.

Estates management for a Ministry of Defence contractor. I think I'll have to sign the Official Secrets Act.

Now I can say "Man, ah serve mah country" Grubber style

Hope it pays good for ya.

Now if i could find work. There's jobs out there but many of them don't pay sh!t. And i mean, they're paying less than what i make working part time at the post office. Others want too much experience (experience that i don't have) or they want college degrees.

I'm a trucker by trade but my back is shot to hell. But i'm looking for those kinds of jobs anyways. None around. It's unreal.

Money is ok (just over £15,000 which is about $25,000?). I was doing an admin job 6 years ago before I went to university and the pay is about the same. Still, I wouldn't get much more than that if I could get a job excavating. It is with the desk based research jobs where I'd have the potential to get the better money but heritage doesn't generally pay well.

Weren't you talking of doing nightclasses before? Did you look into them?

Sounds decent. Enough to make a living. Your commie gov't will help with the rest.

Yeah, i was looking into it. But time isn't on my side anymore. Plus, unemployment would be paltry while going. They base it upon what you made the year before. So, if you made only 3,000 the prior year, your unemployment will suck big time. Trying to work extra hours while doing almost defeats the purpose. I just want to get back to work. Also, a guy i know said that because of my age, i'll have a hard time funding work once i graduated. Age discrimination is against the law but hard to prove.

We have a Liberal Conservative government now (a contradiction if I ever heard one).

Makes sense, huh? Kinda like Sanitary Sewer does over here.
