In a very fortunate position...

[Biddlybee]

Which did you go for?

Number 2, definitely

Windfarms and governments are boring - fashion is a pretty sexy industry

? just noticed this - Governments do all sorts of interesting things, like war, education, mend the motorways, windfarms, monitor your emails etc.!!!

Do not work for the government. It is depressing and beaurocratic and a nightmare.

I'd take job 1.


I already work for the Govnermernement.

For some reason, this feels like deja vu from about six months ago.

It is deva vu from 6 months ago. Freaky but we were having a kid - and now, I can just about concentrate enough to fill in forms again!

Put 'em all off (well, one of them has delayed the request for a final decision) until end of next week!

Hahaha, I am such a whore.

Just as well, I was hospitalised yesterday.... not a good time to be new-jobbing.

You out now? Or posting from hospital?

[marty21]

i was holding 2 job offers with the possibility of a third (temp one)

I chose one - but with that sort of decision, you'll never know if it was the right decision

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Part of me is intruiged at what job you do to be offered positions in such diverse places!

The other part of me is sad to hear about the marital problems.

Smaller & co-op, both good things, especially in Third Sector. I hope you're happy there ... sounds like you will be ... good decision. Can we help you go after the last b*stards now?

Actually, now I come to think about it, there aren't that many threads about diabetes. Could be a good un.

Glad it's stabilised sufficient to let you out

Does stress etc do stuff to your metabolic rate and hence diet/insulin requirements I wonder?

Look after yerself dude, fuck that circulation and eyesight thing, nightmarish!

.. in that I'm holding 3 good job offers.

1. with a wind farm company, travel to mainland Europe, US and Ireland, 10k pay rise.

2. with a fashion firm, UK wide travel, France, Italy and 15k rise plus a car

3. with Government, dealing with hospital aquired infections, 7k pay rise plus home based.

what sort of prior experience do you have where you have incredibley divergent job offers from a wind farm company, a house of fashion and the health dept. of the government?

You have to love a job where you get free gas.

Well there IS a tax liability....

This firm is happy because it has shitloads of money.

Watch out JC, they have plans for Canadia - I may come over there and demonstrate just how flatulent I get after a Pub Triathalon.
