I appreciate that too - three weeks in tomorrow and getting to like the challenge. More info to suck up and now having to step into a coach role so its going
to be interesting. Hang in there - nothing like being able to assist and get a smile from someone. S

That's good to hear the job is working out well for you, Mrs Tosh. While I was on the circuitous route home from Noosa, I happened to get a phone call from my boss while I was wandering the supermarket at Cooma. He hoped I was having a good holiday but said not to bother coming back to work as me and 6 others were retrenched as of that day, 20/10. So Paul and I continued on our merry way and did have a fabulous holiday. I had been working at a small talc mine at Three Springs WA for the last four and a half years as a dumptruck driver. Talc sales have been down due to the GFC so no need to mine talc, hence no need for dumptruck drivers. Anyhow, I've picked up full time casual work carting grain (it is harvest time you know - well perhaps not if you live in a place like Canberra). Here's a pic of my youngest son Freddy (jnr) along side the 93tonne rig I drive - that's right, I'm a Volvo driver - so look out!
PS. Didn't get much of a chance to havachat at Noosa - must have been the (separate) setting.
My other motorbike is a car with a motorbike engine - 360cc Honda.

Yes. Am very happy in my job, and the people are terrific. I think it's a keeper. :) It's taken me a very long time to find my little niche
again. Yes S, my brain is full of SO much stuff!!! Same same. Good though. And Bob. Of COURSE the pay packet's what I'm there for!!! Good grief
man! Having said that, it also is extremely satisfying knowing that I'm part of something way bigger than myself and contributing to society...waffle
waffle..

 Still in the good job and still enjoying it.
Really... For those who (had) made not so positive comments to me about the amount of times I changed jobs or quit one, well it has been a long hard couple of
years for me career wise and personally, and until you've walked in another mans (womans :) ) shoes etc etc... No amount of money prepares you for the
loss you feel when given a redundancy. The feeling of failure, incompetence and uselessness. Outwardly it doesn't always seem that way. Redundancy sux
no matter how you look at it, but having come through the darkness there IS light and there is contentment.
