...is what I would have loved to have said today.

But it would appear that I have written my notice and handed it over to my useless manager.

In two weeks time I will be a free man...although it looks like I will be christmas temping at GAME again.

Do I feel happy..no. Absoultely dreading the prospect of unemployment more than I am going in tomorrow and having to face everybody (but then again, I dread every day at that place). But on the flip side, you'll have me back again contributing to freeola :)

Certainly missed you, but sorry about the job. Some are like that and you've just got to go with the old 'gut feeling'. Unfortunately, you won't be able to claim benefit for some time as you resigned:(

But nevertheless, good to have you back. Bristol Rovers will play Leicester soon:)

Glad to be missed :) So I'm sure I'll be back around. I gave them double the notice required, so that I could get a few extra weeks worth of money along with a bit extra time to find the right job.

Went into my local GAME the other day and asked about temping there - an the manager said it would be fine (although it happened more like "Toni, guess what? Jason's coming back to help us. Scare away any other applicants"). So that will tie me over financially whilst looking for work.

And yes, they will play each other soon. Rovers suffered a 5-4 defeat away to peterborough today :S Shouldn't have lost really...watched it on sky. Will you be going to that match Dragonlance? May make the trip as one of my away games this season...

Saturday 1st November at Walkers Stadium - maybe, but Mrs Dragonlance going to Boston USA at end of that month! Could offer to take her shopping there - a new centre opened this week (September), drop her off for a few hours and come to the game, while I wait for her to finish!! Sounds good HM - let you know.

3 days!!!!! 3 days and I'm free!!!!!!

But a lesson learnt for the future...never give more notice than what you have to give. I would have finished last Friday otherwise :S

Good news, I got offered an interview as an Opthalmic Science Practitioner at the Bristol Eye Hospital and hopefully it'll be a successful one (I ticked all the boxes on the person specification and the job role abilities/knowledge) so fingers crossed I'll be successful.

Just a warning though - next Monday, there will a be a bored hippyman on the forums...

Nice one HM, good luck with the next interview. However, how do you connect building societies and opthalmic science practitioners?

Ha, didn't think of that. Well, moving from a sales based role to a more caring role. I hate the fact I have to "be nice" in order to get something out of the customer.

Should have really been in a medical or caring role to start with so hopefully this one will be pretty good :) Cheers DL :p
