Thats what i love about this place.
Members that are willing to help out others, whether they know them or not.

Had a PM yesturday from a member thats reasonably new to the area, with a job opertunity.
Unfortunately distance was an issue, but not to be dissmissed.

It just gives you hope knowing there are people like this out there only willing to help.
Nice work BG0067 and you to Growler, much appreciated guys.
Other suggestions from Kris, Stephen and Roh' also not to be frowned upon. Cheers guys appreciate the ideas.

When your stuck in the working rutt for so many years, you often overlook the simple things when your routine has suddenly changed.

Yer the country is selling out, in order for a cheaper product to stay competitive they employ cheap labour, where wages dont match the economy, If they cant get the cheap skilled labour they sell up usually to overseas investers.

The miss's may be getting her marching orders tomorrow too, as the department she works in has been sold to another Co that just wants their contracts, No machinery (thats going overseas) and No people their going out the door. Hopefully they can slot her in another department.

On a brighter note; had an interview yesturday for a position in a steel reinforcing Co, and feeling pretty positive about that one but have to wait till Fri-Mon to find out if successful,

Also got a call from one of the project supervisors of a construction Co we did work for and they were a bit shocked and not impressed by me getting layed off and said they have just scored another couple of big contracts and may be putting on a few more staff soon, If so they will see what they can do for me.
So all's not lost. Stay positive, get your name circulating out there and chase it.

Too true Steve too true. Spent part of the day visiting old manager which will benefit in the long run, IMO anyway. lol it felt like i never left there.
Got some contacts and a few leeds and some possible work if things get desperate.
But dont think it will come to that,,
Also got a call from the interview i went to yesturday. Going for a site walk through (basic induction) tomorrow and if all good start Monday, Whoohoo. $$$ not the best but plenty of O/T on offer,
its a start and it pays the bills for now. Then if i dont like it at least its something and can look for better $$$ while earning.

On that note How do you go today Kristofer, any luck mate ?? hope all went well for you.
