How about unemployed

This has NEVER been a problem, I have always made the smooth transition from one job to the other without loosing my income :yahoo:

Now I hope Mark isn't reading as he's sort of my boss now....

I am the Boss at work and in the yard at home :good:

But once I step in the door my missus is the BOSS :yahoo:

[keldaw]

trout , what about

 ( SHE , WHO MUST BE OBEYED  )

 isn,t  she the boss everywhere ? except , when you are away at work ..

 I tell my wife I am her roadie , just like a live band travelling around  the circuit ..    ,, kel ,,

I was lucky that I could also walk from job to job as well..even after gettin sacked and use them as a ref :mocking: After working there for a while the quickest place I ever got the sack from was casino meat works 'cause if ya ain't in the union ya sacked..only place I'd ever worked wher you had to be in the union..just walk up and tell'em to stick their union and straight away you get your marching orders

ok unemployed hummm
can babies be an excuse? ha ha

i was unemployed in a country town once when i was younger
and i couldn't stand it
so i used to work in a shop for no pay - i offered to and i liked going in and they liked the free labour
then it got me a reputation to be trusted and i got work after that in a few of the local businesses

[ausjack]

Yeah it's a bit harder in country areas due to word of mouth but it can also be a good thing as I've got so much work from it :good:
Oh, and yes Robbie they can as we need mums badly, they've probably got one of the toughest jobs..just ask mine :laugh2:

my last baby turned 23 on Thursday

not the screaming baby anymore!! (thank goodness - drove us nuts!!)

long service with one employer can vary a lot if the rewards are not there.

In the USA, long service in the Military is awarded after only 4 years service I believe.   In Australia, it is 15 years/

Long service entitlements, carry over of long service leave etc all influence ones perspective in changing jobs.

I went from a private company, Alcan Aluminium to the Army in 1968, retired from the Army in 1989 and straight into the Victorian prison Service for 13.5 years.   On sep 30, 2002 I retired completely.

Lots of loverly long service pay outs and ARL payouts as a result.
