My escape plan has begun

Post by BillyPosty »

Well this afternoon I called in a few places to see if they had any jobs going - got some phone numbers to ring on Monday so hopefully something fruitful will come of it. Feel better already knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel :nana Also looked at the OU with a view to re-training so there are a few options.

Anyone else got a plan for escape?

- - while I admire your optimism, I think you’ll need more than “some phone numbers” before you can start making plans.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

RM was my escape from Tesco, whatever you do, don't go there, however I have my plan ticking over just waiting to hear back!

I do like weekly pay however, seems like I always have loads now.

Good luck to you though.

My escape plan involves not working for a living at all.
I just can't decide between the deputy acting manager thing or the WCM lead pillar champion thing. :hmmmm

Granted the pay isn't bad considering a half trained monkey could do the job but it's the fully trained apes posing as f#cking managers that are screwing up the job. :cuppa :cuppa :cuppa

Buy a shovel, take a couple of floor tiles up from beneath your frame, work quietly whilst you dig, use planks to shore up the tunnel - I'm sure you'll know a couple of those in your workplace :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle.

The escape route is just down the road. It,s called privitisation, however it wont be of your own making
