Why I Have To Leave The North...

[Alexander's Horse]

Maybe it's one of those seasonal mood disorders - take a holiday in the sun.

That's why he should move South. Maldives is a good place

[Provost Harrison]

Oooh, now that would be a nice place to have a job

Hull. They never should have closed those coal mines.

There never were coalmines in Hull...just fishing which closed down instead

If I was his parent I would kick him out.

Sometimes you have to kick the bird out of the nest or it will never fly.

Actually it is quite a handy arrangement at the moment. I could afford to live out but this place is more comfortable for anything I'd get for the same money and my mother needs the money. Symbiosis, no?

[Alexander's Horse]

Oh well if your helping your dear mother then I approve

Good boy

Now make her even happier by cheering up

Although you know you could live elsewhere and send her money

Well there is that. Hell, I was moving out in November, all lined up, until that plan was 'scuppered'. But I do know that my sh*t does upset her too, but with the Novartis business and how they acted, she was upset when I was just livid. But as soon I have some sort of more stable position (a contract of fixed term), then I will get a place of my own, but in the meantime, if I lost my job and had to pay rent I would be in serious trouble...

You know one of the most important life skills is dealing with setbacks.

One person (i.e. with a loser mentality) says "oh well, that's ruined everything."

Another person (i.e. with a healthy attitude) says, "oh well, maybe that job wasn't right for me anyway. Another opportunity will come along".

It's all in how you look at things.

Same with everyone. You can lose your job no matter where you work or what kind of contract you have.

Not in Germany. We (still) have job security. That means however that noone would ever employ you unless during boom.

"Not in Germany. We (still) have job security. That means however that noone would ever employ you unless during boom."

True! But at least you'll keep your job during the recession (if you ever get one!). What's the unemployment now..4 million? 11%? Why are left-wingers so economically illiterate..

There are much more important things than money.

Well I have just been offered an interview with a prestigious pharma company in the region. Turns out to be Novartis Grimsby Perhaps I should go along just to see then writhe
