I've got a broken down T300 you can have but I think its beyond help - I wouldn't waste a used jiffy bag on it.
I might have a go myself. There must be someone flogging a WSOD for a tenner.

I think l like my job(watchmaker)even though I strongly feel that I should have been a high school teacher instead.I wouldn't mind getting into computers.
Thats a nice traditional profession - Watchmaker. Why do you enjoy that?

lol - I'll let you keep that I think!
Got a couple of phones coming shortly, might start it off again with a D500 or something.
Don't know why I feel the way I do about this job, it's a very rewarding one dealing with helping other people. Though I'm thinking I'd be happier helping people in a less direct way, be a bit more 'behind the scenes'.

Have you been applying for any internal positions? Do they come up often?

I absoulutely love my job at the moment.... (i'm a postman if you did'nt know)
The only thing that ruins it is the company tbh 
The hours are great, yeah i am up at 5am but i am almost always finished and home for 1pm....
We have a right laugh on a morning when were prepping the mail before we go out, and once your out its great, the people on my round are really friendly and when the weathers nice theres nuthing better, sucks a little in winter but you have to take the good with the bad.... It also keeps me fit and despite all the industrial action over pay etc i think the pay is pretty good.....
So yup i enjoy my job.....

Postie sounds good to me too. Out in the fresh air and a early finish can't be bad though not many late nights for you I suppose.

Maybe, though I've got to work out what area to go into, or find something that's completely out of the nursing sphere.
Glad you enjoy your job Scottt, don't think it would be for me as I'm not really an early morning person!

I have a Love/Hate relationship with my job!
Everyone tends to think being your own boss means you'll have lots of money and can work as and when you want to!
Unfortunately it's not so!, after 4 years of being in business I have had four weeks off for holiday!
I now have 1 employee and I am hoping to expand this again after Christmas, I really love doing what I do (joinery) but it takes a lot of hard work and many hours to keep on top of things as not only am I a hands on joiner, I am a salesman of a night, secretary during the day, website designer, book keeper etc etc etc

Sounds like hard work matey. It will all be worth it soon and you'll be the biggest joiner in the whole of Warrington
How many years have you been doing that for then?

I love my Job, which involves helping others find work and helping people who want to claim benefits throughout the UK, a lot of job satisfaction involved and it feels good to know you've helped someone find work. You do feel tired after work but we can't have everything
and best thing is i can browse Esato throughout the day 
You work at the Jobcentre?
no bloomin wonder I can't find a job and think there staff are useless if thats all they do there
btw ive interviews lined up..
my ideal job would be with 02 advising customers and helping them chooses the correct tariff which suits them
My other job which I was made redundant from was a laugh I was a Quality tester for Nissan, the hours were horrible though but I loved the job it was easy and my colleages were so nice and friendley I do miss the place bit far to get to now though as ive moved, they did try to tempt me back a few weeks ago
