Why are people inconsiderate when it comes to snow? Down our road one household has cleared their path and driveway and piled it up across the pavement forcing pedestrians out into the road! Tsk the common sense of some people!

_________________

I bet I'm not the only one who remembers as a child, clearing snow outside our house and neighbours and along the paths for everyone's convenience and not having to think about being sued!

Nice to see you again Jess - sounds like you have been busy.

Yes - still 'fagless' - just over 3 months now - I should've put the money spent on one side but didn't. I do find I can go out and buy things though - bought a combi microwave on Friday - more disposable cash - you can't beat it!

No news on Ox as yet - wordsteal is back though. It will be a year in April which was when Hoyle went offline.

See you soon!

i want the job & love the job...but im so bloody angry

That's the trouble with the world today when it comes to employment. An employers knows that you ARE the right person for the job but you still have to go through health and safety checks, a probationary period (which seems to be quite common these days) and gawd knows what else. It's ridiculous but as usual, we don't have a leg to stand on - we either accept or not. imho, we are no longer a "valued" employee, we are merely a statistic.

I remember the days when my dad (RIP), back in the sixties and seventies could start a job one morning, decide he didn't like it, left, then walked into another job in afternoon!

Anyhow, I can understand and sympathise how you feel Micky. it really is annoying. Just plough on and I'm sure all will work out for the best in the long run. You deserve it!

Can totally understand your frustration Micky and remember when you did your back in. If I were in your shoes I think I'd take their offer and be looking for something else so that when you do find a job that suits you, THEN you can tell this lot to shove it lol

just caught up on this thread, sounds like our place of work. They have had good people there for over 3 years and are still agency. If they have one day off they go straight to the back of the queue. The only way they seem to give out perm jobs is when someone moves into a leaders position or maybe a setting position. They still expect the agency guys to train newbies for free when they have others getting training money and not doing training. When they do decide to take someone on perm, they have to be drugs and alcohol tested too, and the agency now have to do this when they start aswell as when they get taken on.
Its pants! I feel sorry for them, they've been there so long you forget they're still agency and they have become your mates, then at the drop of a hat work ring the agency and say a person is not wanted anymore. At xmas last year they put all the agency off for 3 days. Some are couples, so they lost 6 days money. And this year they are doing a new paperwork system and there will be no production for 2 weeks so the agency will get laid off again.
Can sympathise with your situation but its the same here too. Should have a time limit on agency staff. x

Another string on your bow Micky Well done.
You'll be qualified to drive anything soon eh!

gl with the 1st aid Micky - just passed mine- again - good to go now for another 3 years! It is amazing how things change in 3 years - from not supposed to having certain things in first aid boxes - you can have what you like providing you can justify it with a risk assessment - I would think cotton wool is still major no-no whatever they say! Also they have added a bit more to the recovery position!

_________________

I haven't done a first aid course since 2004. I'm thinking I should do a refresher.

wtg Micky! Won't be long now until you're driving busloads of screaming smartass kids around the place lmao

_________________

I have to take a first aid course every year.....you get to know them by heart without a refresher course lol
