Ho-Hum, it's Monday, back to work :-(

But it's 3.20am, so currently it's BACK TO BED!

Congrats :cheer:

Well April is going to get off to a great start. :(

I found out yesterday that I'm going to be made redundant on the 2nd April.

How long you worked for them?

Only since May last year although I worked for a different branch of the company from Oct 2009 until January 2012. However as there is a gap in my service, I won't get a redundancy payout. :(

It'll be the third time I'll have been made redundant in five years.

Shouldn't you get a 30 day consultation period?

I thought that Jonty...a while back I had a little job and was faced with going from being paid weekly to monthly, and even with that they had to put things in place so that I didn't have to suddenly go three weeks without pay.

As it goes it didn't happen but I thought that they can't just stop your pay (short of being fired!)?

I'll get four weeks notice pay but that's about it.

I'm a bit surprised at how soon they're planning to close us but there you go. I've known for a couple of months that this was a possibility but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

My concern is finding another job. Retail is all I have ever done and it's such an uncertain field to be working in these days

Hate to say it but that's quite good, they could get away with none as you've been there less than two years

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!!!

They're also giving us double time for the last two weeks of trading so it's a lot better than some employers would offer. I'm just going to have to be careful with money for a while and save what I can.

Thanks.

I'm keeping my eyes out for suitable jobs in other fields anyway because you never know.

Good luck Jenna. Have you thought about pursuing a career in website design ?
I don't know what would be involved, but you really do have a great talent.

I'm studying with the Open University at the moment to try and get a qualification that I hope will make it easier to go into that field. I don't know for definate that I will but it's an option that I'm considering.

good luck, Jenna!!! your artworks are really great!!! fingers crossed for you!

good luck on the job front Jenna!!

as a general rule, ive always been lucky, though very unorganised... but maybe im leaving this farewell tour gig a touch too late :?

Having dispatched 22 hand-stitched bags today (!!!!!) I'm sitting with my feet up, a well earned G&T, and flicking through some of the old fanclub RVMs....I forgot how much I love them! The photos in them are so brilliant, it's such a shame they had to stop

I think I should have joined the Meat Loaf fanclubs well before I plucked up the courage to do so. The RVM's were something that I missed out on.

They were wonderful. I joined MLUKFC in 1998, missed the first three issues but got all the others, they were just brilliant. The reviews were always great with stunning photos and fan accounts of events, some interesting interviews too.

I guess with the forums and a review thread per show there's less of a need for them now, but they were special, they're a treasured record of my Meaty life!

heard adele's skyfall tune for the first time today... and by less than 2 mins in, i was singing along with " diamonds are foreveeerrrrrr"

and there was a great bruce springsteen song on the radio, from a japanese import version of the album, cardboard... looks like an lp... and can i remember the name of song now????

midnight, darkness, city??? cant remember :(

good song though!

but theres a good reason i forgot the name of the springsteen song

i have a terrible habit with cd's, of not putting them back in the correct cases, especially when listening in the car... and its not unusual to have several discs shoved into the wrong case. but ive been dyin to listen to hell in a handbasket, since that thread when did you last listen to hiab, but i'd no idea where i put the cd.

tonight i found it :)... i said i hadn't listened to it since may... and it was in the case of the album i bought in may oops

then in my excitement at finding the cd, ive forgotten the name of the springsteen song

lack of sleep messes with ones memory!!!
