Lost your sense of adventure then?

Well there were other considerations Steveo - I've also up for a job with NR more along what I'm studying for with CrossRail and other projects.

love it !!!

always amazes me when i get cold calls and the person speaking in broken english is always called an english name!! ie allo i am de man called tony!

on the news last night they reckon 3 million could be out of work very soon.

The quickest way to get rid of these people is to say you are very interested but cant understand. Please can you put me onto someone who speaks English.

Well time to get training to be... a postman :)

Funny you should say that, just got a call this morning. I start a week on Monday (I was already down to be a Xmas temp for 3 weeks) but this is a permanent 9-2 contract. Only real issue for me is Saturday working but I see it as a short-term fix before going back to uni either in 2009 or 2010.

Virgin Media who I got laid off by in July have announced they're also shedding over 2,000 jobs so lucky I didn't try & stay with them either.

Well I returned to work today after a three month sabbatical (which I was very lucky to get as the financial crisis really began to bite just after it was granted) and have immediately been shifted to a different newspaper because advertising revenue is down 50 per cent and they can't sustain a full time reporter on the Brentwood Weekly News.

So anyone who reads the Maldon and Burnham Standard (not many of you I imagine) will get the dubious pleasure of my presence for the foreseeable future.

Pretty safe at the moment but the aviation industry is always a bit dodge, my firm are doing alright though so there's no immediate concern.

Times are indeed scary for the automotive industry. I reckon VW will survive, Toyota will be number one, by some distance in the next few years. GM will merge with someone, probably Chrysler. Obama will bail out of a Ford

The new landscape will be Chinese car companies.

:P

Changed it for accuracy.
