Evening,

My class were fuckers today.

I made them march around the school and sit in silence for 3 minutes.

Evening Mrs Bin
It's a stupid evening after a long day, and I need to write much essay. Boo.


How are you? And anyone else who's lurking around?

HI mrs
Take the strongest of the group and execute it in front of class, that will sort things out

Tip top
Today I lost my job.

I've been drinking since 17.00 and arguing about American Politics on QOTW.

I will be retained on a monthly paid consultancy basis until a date no later than Oct 1st.

The real kicker is that I was taken off nightshift a few weeks ago to write the project that has brought about my demise.

Don't feel sorry for me, because I'm fairly employable.

Feel sorry for my staff - mainly unskilled, many of them in their 50's - who are unlikely ever to work again in Bradford.

I knew this was coming and spilled my heart in a gaz to Vampyrecat but confronted with the true facts - well, there's been tears and snotters today.

Disappointed.
Sorry to hear that. I went through the same thing in 2008.

The redundancy worked out OK for me. I got a huge pay off and immediate employment at more money.

But I feel for the rest of the people I worked with. many of them 50 something only skilled in the manufacturing industry, which is dying in this country.

Was it cutbacks that caused you to lose your job?
(The Stig, Mon 23 Feb 2009, 20:39, Reply)

Oh Dissapointed
I do hope you find something soon.

I feel for anyone losing their job, it's happened to me twice.

@Stig and Binlady
I've been through this before too.

Without wishing to come across all smartarsey I've enough money to keep me going for a year or so without work but I'd rather work.

As I said, it's the 300 or so people who are going with me that I feel for.

We've been loosing money for several years and we're part of a big global company so really there shouldn't be a surprise - but it's still a mighty kick in the 'nads.

Anybody got any jollieness?

I went to the gym today for the first time in a year and a half. Ran for 5 minutes, this is good for me, but I could run for 20 when I went before.

Just out of interest, which global company is it?

@the disappointed
My brother had something similar - laid off but then retained for a transition period as a consultant. That was in 2005 - he's just transitioned back to permanent staff on 10K more.

Seems after they got rid they realised that the people they had planned to pick up his work were useless fuckers...

Well, like I say, I'm sorry to hear it and for all the people who've lost their jobs.

I was lucky, for every one of me, there's 9 unsuccessful ones....

I tried the new shortcut today that I discovered for my commute to work. Although a major improvement on route B, it's still 0.17 miles longer than route A. But even so, Route 'B*' is much less hilly than A, and also more pleasant as it passes through a river-valley park. However, when it re-joins route B, I'm once again on a busy road where I have to do battle with my arch-nemesis - the Bendy Bus of Doom. I still have an alternative option to try in which I merge it with the final part of route A instead of re-joining route B. That way, I'll have a Frankenstein-commute.

As above
I'm really not too worried about myself.

I'll get by - I always have.

Some people won't.

Edit - Light in Chains - Your brother's path is what I'd love. Frankly, I'm bloody good at my job but I'm constricted by the unimaginative. I need to transcend that.

@Mrs. Bin
Are most of them fuckers or just a few?
BTW: So far, I've only managed to run for 8 minutes at the gym, although I have to squeeze myself into a 1-hour lunchbreak. This means as well as gym-time, I have to get there, get changed, shower and buy my lunch too.

@TD
Glad to hear you have what it takes to get by, but pity for your staff. How much were you responsible for them?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 23 Feb 2009, 21:25, Reply)

@Spakman
A lot.

I know them all by name.

I know what they all wanted to do, and could do.

This has been hanging over my head for a while and I had to hold it all in until the official release.

I may have been a tad snappy with you on last night's thread.

Now you know.

No worries. Anything like that could make even the most bhuddist of Bhuddas snappy. This must feel like an enormous weight on your shoulder. How feasible would it be to set yourself up as an independent and re-hire your staff?

Don't think I can help my boys, but myself and my brother-in-law are seriously looking at setting up a CV clinic/job advisory service.

My background is staff training, his is marketing and between us we may be able to make it viable.

ENOUGH! I'm a happy man at heart - let's do happy. Please.

Let's get out of this morass.

My ultimate fantasy is to be a Regency dandy, strutting my stuff at a masquerade to the big beat sounds of Handel's Happenin' Harpsichord Hardcore.

Perhaps I might discover another shortcut and this may pass through a land of pixies and fairies where everyone is happy and dances round rainbows. If ever I find such a place, you and tour 300 staff will be the first ones to know.

Where is the enchanted glade of which you speak? I've spent a fair old bit of time in South London which I'm guessing is where you're at.

I'm in West-London
so finding an enchanted glade would make up for being so far away from the more happenin' part of London.

I've got 2 real fuckers, 1 proper fucked up (but worships the ground I walk on so is lovely for me but everyone else gets chairs to the head), 1 fucker, 4 little shites, 5 bitchy thick girls who never fucking shut up.
About 9 are varying shades of lovely and the rest just get carried on by what the rest of the class are doing.

West London.

Served unhappy time in Sydenham and Penge.

I don't see regency dandy-ism as deviant particularly. Escapism - not fetishism.

Use your imagination, boy! Don't you think it'd be a laugh to ponce about in a big frilly outfit and pull your cousin.

Now I think about it - maybe not...

I might drop in as I have PPA time tomorrow. Which means I have a day of not teaching.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Mon 23 Feb 2009, 23:23, Reply)

Teaching
Teaching is great, once you are a hardass who wins them over. My method? Usually no homework. But, if anyone acts up, they get a yellow card. If someone gets a red card, homework for everyone. Works a fucking treat. The kids learn, they have free time and the teacher isn't the baddie.
