Reply to: Benched!

[scooterscot]

Must say I've only been looking for the past 24 hours and the opportunities out there are fantastically numerous however the rates...

Will need to hang up my Norwegian boots for the meantime otherwise I'm far too expensive.

Saying that though there's a lot of possibilities allowing me to continue to work from my own office, which is nice. The thought of commuting again terrifies me! (no not the cost of fuel, spending almost 12 hours a week behind a wheel is just not funny)

Blame MS Visio - it makes my blood boil, just trying to draw a straight line between 2 points. Should be simple enough...

I would have thought a forum of mainly men would be more supportive and matey - women can be downright vile at times, in my experience as one!

Sorry, forgot:
No offense, but
"If you feel so bad about it you should be permie. Try the public sector."
Only joking.
Don't take it seriously.
It's only the internet.

In my experience it's the twat on the other end of the internet...

Practice makes perfect!

So Churchill gets a roasting for being a bit harsh. I get a roasting for being a tiny bit nice.

Whatever one does here there is always someone ready to critisize. Is it too much to ask that we could try supporting each other a bit?

I suppose any forum consisting of mostly men is bound to be like this. No wonder women run circles round men in divorce - women actually support one another. In f4j most of the useful stuff was done by women. I can see a time when women just do cellular division and do away with men for reproduction - Darwin at work.

Wow, you'd think someone had passed away.

After 4 years I'd be bored with it anyway.

Just learnt no re-newal this time. End of next week I'm looking for the first time in nearly 4 years...

Better make a start.

Sorry to hear the bench duties are being dished out.

However the summer is not the worst time to be benched. Even if you don't get out for 8 weeks you can hardly say its a pita!

[beaker]

At least you can enjoy the weather and time with your family

[scooterscot]

You've worked 4 years straight and the first thing you want to do is more work? Are you nuts?

This is worrying your not the first to tell me so... thing is I've worked all my puff, not sure what I'd do with the spare time. Waiting until the first bairn comes along and then the plan is only to work half a year...
