Is it worth working?

[unemployed]

Having been in 2nd line support off and on from 1998 onwards I am finding it hard to believe that contract rates aren't any higher than year 2000 and permanent is no higher either. Having been offered a support role for 30k in 2001 I am astounded that simple inflation has not increased these same jobs to around the 45k mark. I regularly get emails and calls for the same 30k figure or less. Funny that putting a roof over your head in 2000 would cost you 150k but now it's 500k. Where does it give???

No.

Looks like a life involving a sofa, Jeremy Kyle and JSA awaits.

Yes, currently not working, but not rotting on a sofa, watching JK, or claiming JSA.

Some of us know how to do it properly...
Bloody hot day this morning must be 30 degrees out there

Sounds great and also boring somehow at the same time. Better check the boiler thermostat.

If you had a lot more money, what would you do with it....?

Bank it and wait for a bail-in?

Boring?
Hardly, boring is only for the that have no imagination, or those who are unemployed 2nd line support, obviously

Considering all you have offered up is the climate is warm how can I assume it is anything other.

Magaluf was 30c but not great I prefer the rain anyways.

You?

Dunno. I lay around all day and think about it though....
