whats pissed you off today?

[Novasport]

shaking my bird to wake her up and started talking gibberish to her, apparently my eyes were all glazed over and i defiantly wasn't awake!

I did that last month after going out with work, mind you I had been drinking Peroni, Sambuca and Jack Daniels all night!

[mrT]

So you are calling me a loser because of the lack of work? And it's not because my phone has been ringing, I've been sitting up in the bloody office where all the work comes into for most days and not got anything!! I'm not the only one that is seriously considering moving on because it's all gone to ****. The work has been steadily declining for the past month or so... So yeah call me a loser for the company ot giving me any work...

get a job offshore, if you like hard work, not afraid of heights, are a little bit fit and know the basics on a computer then try being a NDT technician, lots of work although getting a start is a bit hard, after a year or so you can go anywhere and get decent cash, you need to pay for courses which could total 3K or so, also you do all the studying while you work, i took a job from driving a digger into security (best on nightshift) so i could study then took time off to do exams here and there, everyone said your wasting your money etc but now with a good monthly wage they say well done, you've gotta be brave and go for it, end of the day i looked at it as if its 4k down the drain which i didnt think it would be then funk it, least i tried and tbh i would not of given up anyone, sice being offshore been offered 4/5 jobs doing different jobs by various companys all with good cash so i will never be stuck again imo, but i got it because I took the plunge, do it dont look back and stay positive.. good luck

If your phones not ringing then you must be doing something wrong. Dont just give up, Thats what losers do.

Read back what he said, he didnt call you a loser, he merely offered a comment to try and spur you on, its all too easy to give up and say meh, its not working.

Go out flyering, go into places like offices and such trying to rep, drum up work, it sounds stupid but it works (sometimes) hell, i saw a story on the news a couple of years back where a bloke wrote a sign saying something like 'Please give me a job' and he went out and stood on a busy intersection roundabout all day holding the sign up to passing cars, one day it was hammering it down with rain all day, yet he was still there, soaked through to the skin, a company director drove by in his car (merc or something nice) and spotted him, went back and offered him a trial in his warehouse packing!

He was on the news saying it had impressed him that despite the torrential rain, the guy hadnt gone home to sulk in front of Jermey Phayle moaning that there was no work, he went out and did something that got him noticed, you just need to find something that gets you noticed!

had he never heared of the job center? there are always warehouse jobs on there.

It wasnt the point that he ended up with a warehouse job, that was just for the trail as he mightve been a complete spoon, but the guy was willing to give him a chance is the point, and i know of people that have had zero luck at the job center, ive had the misfortune to have had to go and sign on once before, was the most heart breaking thing ive ever done, was out of work for about seven months, was three months before id sunk low enough to give in and sign on!

Ill never ever sign on again!

[turbojolt]

use to hate signing on, when you would see family's there all lining up like its a family day out, scum.

[chrisd1986]

I moved 100 miles away so my partner could live with her family, whick ment giving up my jobs aswell as alot of other things but i regesterd with a agency and 2 weeks later im working 50+ hours a week on a good wage and after 13 weeks on the same job i will be taken on so all these people who claim they cant find a job just need to stop being picky and apply for any job
