In league with the Devil!
Mark Allanson - 7/10/10 at 04:47 PM

After this thread, I think I must be!

I start on Monday at 9:00, the job pays 7K more than the last one, I get a 60 plate Focus diesel.

Unemployed for 4 days!

I am chuffed to say the least

Thanks to everyone for the support

Nice one! Unless working with the Devil is code for becoming a tax inspector!

Mark Allanson - 7/10/10 at 04:50 PM

No, not a tax inspector, a senior estimator with a major main dealer - falling on my feet or what!

So what are you estimating, and what does the dealer sell?

Congrats mate :-)

You'll have to trade in your 8 digit calculator for a 10 digit one though if it's a main dealer

Great news Mark - very pleased to hear good fortune has been found.

It's often said redundancy can be a change for good, but it rarely rings true.

Make sure you give that diesel Focus what for too

well done that man - hope the drive to work doesn't get too tedious.

Mark Allanson - 7/10/10 at 09:38 PM

Never as tedious as claiming job seekers allowance I hope

Bodyshop estimator, and the main dealer has franchises for Ford, Fiat, Subaru, Peugeot, Mazda, Alfa Romeo, Isuzu so I will have access to more technical info than the average bear!

Any chance of an Alfa as a work vehicle then...?

I may suggest it, or if I am given a choice....

please please please sit in one and see how it feels using the switch gear. Love driving the g/f alfa but the window switches are in a stupid place i can't even reach without contorting. Can't see what any of the other switch gear around the wheel is so had to learn it before i drove it.
