Crikey, this recession is hitting people hard, My friends are having alot of problems finding work, I'm in my second year of university and my older friends coming out from uni almost all of them have not got a job, even with 1st degree's... Hard times indeed. more…
good post - i agree with you. i wish there could be more mutual respect within retail. i always feel they do it better in france where customers and retail staff seem to treat the whole thing as a pleasure rather than a pain! x more…
Yeah good points. I avoid the news, except maybe some radio news in the evening. Why listen to the news in the morning anyway, don't you like yourself ?! :)
And the shoe theory sounds right! more…
lol good luck quitting the fags, took me for ever but i feel better. Also i been sacked loads of times and always ended up better off. good luck with the interview and stuff more…
That has to be a kick in the gut, but don't take it to heart.
Remember that they probably are just trying to find reasons to fire people.
No positive feedback does not mean loads of negative feedback, sometimes it's best to be a "grey man" at work. Turn up do the job, then go home, don't get involved in the politics or arse licki more…
I've just been reading about you getting fired and all that, and I'm really glad that you've got this interview. I'm not surprised that you've been smoking! One thing at a time eh.
Good luck with your interview and also the non-smoking. If you try patches be careful; I tried them for a week and they do give you a nicotine hit, but then you have to come down off the patches the next week! more…
sorry i was doing an internet search for defalted eye picts and found your post. while hunting down your nose, finger eye pic. I had to make a comment.
1) if that is your picture in the upper right hand corner of the screen (and I think it is) you are a beautiful young woman.

Everybody at work knows I've been working myself to death over the past year and still the employer fired me and then asked me if I really care for this job at all...???
Stress can give you a dicky tummy, but bad chicken can be foul - sorry!. Repeat after me, I am very employable, they don't deserve me, there is a much better job waiting. Keep saying it until YOU believe it to and it WILL happen. more…
Your story of the Tesco chicken reminds me of the time that a work colleague showed me a pork chop that he had brought from Tesco (our office is directly above a Tesco, which is handy, I suppose); not only was there a maggot half-crawled out of the chop, there was a spider inside the packaging t more…
And on a similar note, I bought some frozen fish from Iceland. Surely if it's frozen, it would be frozen straight from fresh?
Well seems something went wrong because I cooked it thoroughly and I was eating it when I caught a whiff of something horrid. I put my nose closer to the fish only to realise in horror something was wrong. Ye more…
take it as it comes at work ... but don't change your holiday plans.
things have a habit of working out, as long as you stay positive.
you'll get over your stomach bug and you'll get a new job, if the worst happens - and it'll be better!
yeah - what would life be like if we couldn't write blog posts and comments in safety, or live our lives through a monitor...
you got me thinking now! more…
If I may help here....you apparently reach three peaks of craving. If you can get past the third one you've done it...Worked for me twenty years ago.Good luck ms Elle I'm sure you can do it.. more…

Everybody at work knows I've been working myself to death over the past year and still the employer fired me and then asked me if I really care for this job at all...???
Maybe it's a standard procedure or so.
Anyway, I've still to let my coll more…
