Why are you calling me a knob? Do you know me? I'm not your dad so lay off.

You obviously have no commitments in this country otherwise you would realise how tough life can be on an average salary. Either that or you seriously lack any ambition or any thought about your future or that of your children.

If you're the only earner, with a wife and 2 kids, a modern day mortgage, cars to run, and with the inflationary environment we live in, a £30k salary (~£1750/month) is going to leave you very little (if anything) to make a future with.

And I'm not from Australia - if they're anything like you I'm glad to be different.

I was calling you a Knob because you claimed you would like to phone up for the job and laugh at the salary they were offering. Those are the actions of a Knob in my book.

Don't be vulgar. Certainly don't boast like a cat walk model. It's only a few hard knocks and you can be back on your arse begging for that job. Be humble and modest. Give money away. It's far more attractive.

, I am planning on taking a simple job somewhere,

I think Churchill's job is up for grabs

Yeah, came across it about 10 years ago when I was involved with insurance systems. They use(d) it to send data between the big insurers iirc. Not heard the term outside the insurance industry since then.

EDI (In a generic sense) is used to send data to Hector from Payroll systems, although I came across it in Insurance too.

You are a knob..! Your attitude stinks. Or have I missed your irony - I doubt it since you are an Aussie from your avatar.

EDI is used by a lot of industries especially in the supply chain.

It's a good way to send messages to 3rd parties and is usually based on a set of standatrds like Edifact, Odette, VDA etc.

It's generally used for transactions like shipping notifications, picking requests to 3rd party warehouses, sending sales orders and forecasts, purchase orders etc.

EDI was around long before .Net was invented.

Why??? when I have paid all my commitments, including my kids uni fees etc, I am planning on taking a simple job somewhere, may be a university or college of further education ala Zeiti.... as long as I can pay my bills and have food on the table (plus the lots of hols which comes with educational institutes) what’s the problem??

how can anyone realistically live off that wage and support a family and pay a mortgage ?

You may just aswell kiss your life goodbye.

Reality check time. If you want to join the NHS as a lab technician, you will need a degree in a related subject, will be looking at four years further on the job training to get fully qualified (and licensed to practice so you can do on call work). Your starting salary will be £11k-£13k.

OTOH a friend's son is working evenings and nights at Tesco doing shelf stacking. Bored out of his skull, he's making a shade over £30k...

I think that´s a very arrogant view. There are millions of families living off a wage at this level, so it must be possible.

Electronic Data Interchange. Something to do with .NET I think. Milan might know more about this.

No, it´s got nothing to do with .Net (though .Net might have stolen it).

Exactly - unless of couse you live in a house you purchased 10 years ago and have little or no mortgage. I was SO tempted to reply to the agent and laugh at the salary they were offering.

[thunderlizard]

ah but...you're forgetting the most important perk.

It is, after all, a "grade 1 position". I don't know what that means but it sounds impressive!

could it be Integrated Development Environment

Only if you're a clueless dyslexic bint.

Talking of which, did you have a night of flicking the bean?
