So... after six months of deeply worrying unemployment, I got a call that says that, yes, I am now rejoining the arena of the employed, starting Jan 2nd!

 :D

It's not a perfect job, but I'm so relieved, I had a pretty decent redundancy payment but it was running out fast and now I can start making plans for the things that really matter again, now that I'm gonna have a few quid coming in!  And I met quite a few people, also unemployed, who had it a lot worse than I did...

So, Yay me!  Just what I wanted for Christmas!

 ;D

well done Master Ray :)

i really wish that kind of stuff happen to me...but i'm unemployed since so long time that sometimes i think i'll never get a job.
I hold on to my photos, i can get a bit of money sometimes but it's very difficult to earn my life with that... i must have a job to have enough money to live and help my half to pay what we have to pay...

That breaks my heart to hear you say that, Steph D... but please don't give up.  A while back, I was unemployed for two years. I really, really struggled, as it sounds like you are doing right now.  It's so f-ing hard to get by, especially when so many people regard the unemployed as living the life of Riley... they're getting loads of free money at the taxpayers expense!  >:(  I know what bullshit that is, truly I do.  I know what it's like to apply for job after job and get nowhere...

But then, back then and totally out of the blue, I applied for yet another job and was therefore gainfully employed for five years... I'd still be there if it wasn't for the gleeful destruction of the NHS by this government... but that's for another thread...

Bottom line, good stuff does happen.  I truly hope it happens to you as it did to me.  You never know when the lightning will strike...

Big internet hug coming your way...

I'm so happy with the huge box I received from NMA shopkeepers few weeks ago. Two t-shirts (the black dogs tees), Carnival, Lost Songs double-cd, three coffee mugs and a cap with classical logos on them. I received the box the same day I had to send one of the mugs as a Christmas gift to a true NMA fan and long time friend - and it succeeded... I'm also so happy with the BDAW which in my opinion is one of the best NMA albums... The songs keep playing in my mind every single day.

Cheers / Love / hugs & take care,
