I did that.
But I was sat too far away from a window to lick it.

I doubt that.

So, yeah, if I get one of these jobs
we'll be Jeffstocking it large.

Well I hope you get either of them.
Not just from a JeffSTOCK perspective.

I hope I get the slightly higher paid one.
Even if it is £10k less than I was on. Owt's better than nowt.

Absolutely.
If you've got a basic coming it, you can still look for something else.

You know this.
It is easier to find a new job when you've got a job than it is from a standing start.

Too true.

No shame is taking a career break though!
Especially if you can justify a gap on your C.V with your exciting new business idea!

Writing shit on the internet
is probably not considered an exciting business idea.

I wish it was. I'd be fucking raking it in.

It just seems wrong taking a job when you know you're not planning on staying.

(, Fri 16 Mar 2012, 0:37, Reply)
And how do you know they are planning on keeping you?
The job might become redundant in 6 months time.

Hmmm

Indeed.
One's for Age UK, the other's Newcastle council's housing group. Both in Newcastle, but that's OK. All I've ever done in my working life, apart from 18 months, is commute, so I'm used to it.

No blockers then!
It'll probably do you good to get your nut down to some solid graft again.

I wish you every success with it! When are you seeing these folk?
(, Fri 16 Mar 2012, 0:37, Reply)
Age UK next Tuesday.
Housing group a week later.

Fingers crossed!
Let me know how you get on.

How long is Blousie coming to stay for?

Friday to Sunday.

Well have a great time!
Are you going anywhere or just relaxing?

Off to see a classic punk covers band on Saturday.
in what was the north east heroin capital about 15 years ago.

I got roped into donating to Age UK every month yesterday.
That's three charities I'm signed upto now. I'm single handedly keeping half the bloody ill and vulnerable people in Newcastle alive.

If I get a job with them I'll buy you a pint.

(, Fri 16 Mar 2012, 0:42, Reply)
With the money you've donated.

+That the tax payer has funded.

(, Fri 16 Mar 2012, 0:46, Reply)
It'll be like buying a nurse a drink with the taxes I've forked out for public services.
Come to think of it, I've probably paid my own salary for the last 20 years, seeing as I was a government employee AND a taxpayer.

I shall hold you to that good sir.
Tell you what though, it's like running a gauntlet down Northumberland Street trying to avoid the charity workers. I only sign upto the good ones (Age UK, Marie Curie Cancer whatever and Shelter) in earshot of the cunts trying to get me to give them money to save the snow leopard to wind them up. Those arseholes won't leave me alone, mostly because I can't resist telling them I hate the snow leopard and everything it stands for when they approach me. They're just trying to annoy me now.

I will never 'sign up' to a Chugger.
Ask them the following question.

1/ What documentation I can I take away with me to consider this donation.

2/ How much are you being paid to do this? (They are obliged to tell you)

3/ If you think I'm giving my bank details to some fucking crusty cunt in the street, do you think I'd look as stupid as you, you dreadlocked tosser?
(, Fri 16 Mar 2012, 0:49, Reply)
You don't give them your details on the street, they've got bare clever.
They ask for a text donation which costs a quid/three/five quid depending on how generous you want to be. Then after a couple days they keep phoning you asking to sign up. Truth is I'm going to cancel all the direct debits as soon as I can be bothered. The satisfaction and pride signing upto them in the first place just outweighs the guilt of cancelling the payments, so I still win.

I have the same problem with gypsies on the Underground.
Except I duck my shoulder when they try and pin some lucky heather on me, then I run away laughing.
