Pint please!

Well some of you may have noticed ime now back
For some reason still had a red name but couldnt get in here so Dan sorted me out

Anywho just thought Ide give you all a update as Ive had a rather mad 6 months.

So you may recall I was ear marked for a Job at shrewsbury hospital, I basicly got the job but then due to budget cuts etc etc I never actually got it so had to stay put for a month or 2.
Anyways I went for a few interviews at various places for production and facilities engineering jobs (facilities being more me) when I went for one at a certain automotive factory in the local area.
I was full of the flu and felt like I had been hit by a bus but they had aranged it out of hours especially for me so I didnt want to let them down.
So in I went looking rather sorry for myself, apologised in advance for my scruffy work clothes and illness then asked if they would mind if I wrote stuff down as we went as I barely knew my --- from elbow so would forget everything!
Well despite all of that the interview went really well and I actually felt a little better once I had been in there a while having some good banter with the Maintenance manager.
So the interview ended, I left and then had to make a tactical dash for a bush outside to throw up in which luckily nobody saw

So next day I get a phone call saying I have the job and they want me to start ASAP

So I have been there 6 months now and so far enjoying it, Ime doing more "real work" so to speak and I am actually given the time to do jobs (like the star delta thing) which I would of never been able to do before so I think its a good career move for me.
Also now on shift with a very knowledgeable and experienced spark so looking forward to picking his brains for all I can before he retires LOL

So yes things are looking up, ime happier, spending less time working and earning far more money.

Life is good

Oh....

Refill please bar man

Glad to hear you are doing okay, so you haven't used the MICC tools I gave you.? lol

 

[Tiny Spark]

Sadly no Dave, but there is plenty of pyro about so there is time yet!

Mostly SWA work though, I have made off more SWA's in the last few months than i have the last few years!!

Even considered getting one of the SWA stripper things but £90 is a high price tag for something I can do with tools totaling less than £5!!

And yes I will be milking all I can Pete.

Good, they bought out the company I worked for some years ago with promises our plant would be OK then moved everything out 12 months later and expected me to commute 40 miles each way for less money!.
