How many interviews have you been for?

No 1 son is in the same boat and is equally scunnered.
Indeedy, you need to go through a few interviews. Someone will employ you.
The dole isn't that bad.
A few years ago, I'd have agreed. They ask too many questions these days, like are you looking for a job and what have you applied for.Quote:

Mr Dole: What have you been doing to find work?
Mr callum: erm...Looking in shop winders for vacancy's, reading the job papers at the library and phoning up employers.
Mr Dole: so have you had any reply's yet?
Mr callum: No.
Mr Dole: What are you going to do next?
Mr callum: Keep looking.

when i got to 6 or 9 months signing on, the cunts would change my signing on time from 3.00PM to 9.00AM to get me to oversleep, miss their interviews and appointments. then they gave me 2 more chances to get there on time, i missed the time by 10 mins, they would tell me I'd broken the rules of my benefit agreement cancel my giro make me fill out all those new claim forms that make you have to go to their Shitty office at more ridiculous bullshit times of the day when you should be at home eating safeways savers baked beans on toast. :emo:

I haven't read the rest of this thread yet but I'm stunned at the fact that you think you'll have time to breathe let alone complete a doctorate or two when your twins arrive? Unless your parenting style is from the "hire a fulltime-live in nanny" school of doing things. Save your post - re-read in a years time - laugh at yourself. :ermm:
:lol:
That was pretty much my exact reaction.
Edit: My husband is currently a stay at home dad. He is looking after our 1-year old full time. I just told him about your plans, and he didn't laugh at all.
His mouth dropped open and he said 'poor guy'.
In my experience, come bed time for the wee ones, you'll probably be too tired to read a book, let alone study.
Anyway, it would be pretty cool if you prove all of us wrong! So good luck and keep us posted.
Great minds and all that skweeks! And if he thinks he'll have more time on his hands as they grow even more hahahahaa. Once they start talking they don't stop until they are teenagers.
all that makes me want to have 5 kids :(
Are you a girl?
no. some men do want kids as well.
Oh I know that, it's usually the men who want all the kids :lol:
My husband would love another one after this, but it ain't happening.
hey that's the exact conversation i have with my job-centre-man. last time i thought i would babble on about christmas temping work, but he didn't seem amused by my work banter. :unsure:Quote:

Kewl.
I had my end of year review today, which happily coincided with closing two massive deals. Hurrah.
OMG, U now have time 2 GET EVEN !!! take the list of ppl you Seriously Dislike (but have never had the time to get back at) and go to a public I-net access cafe' and sign them up for all kinds of Magazines -> PORN, mens / woman's stuff & Add their email addy's to all kinds of Rat infested Websites ;-) *note* this May not Actually lead to any Real noticable ACCOMPLISHMENT'S ... but you will feel SOOO GOOD, Who cares !!!! ??
I started a factory job. Why? Because they were hiring.
I miss my office job. Factory jobs suck. Office jobs are generally better, in my experience, and easier on the feet.
Life sucks, atm.

Did you get my card yet?
I liked working in a factory, in hindsight.Quote:

Having done years and years of uni since then just to get here, just feels awesome :dabs:
I am soooooo bored at the moment. Finishing up tomorrow and I have nothing to do. There seriously is only so much YouTube stuff you can watch. :no:

Overtime rules. I'll give you that one; however, the rest sucks bawls, imo. Well, the pay is not too shabby, but the rest of it is crap.Quote:
