MikeR - 22/3/11 at 11:16 AM

I'm SOOOOOOO happy.

Just about to call a company I had an interview with last week to see how i got on due to them not getting back to me. Literally about to hit dial and they called me.

THEY OFFERED ME THE JOB.

Been out of work since last June. Baby on the way. Mrs made redundant ......... strangely I accepted on the spot.

I'll be a drug dealer ............... its what i'm used to doing and good at ............

ok, not quite true. Used to work for a drugs wholesaler as IT project manager working on retail systems. Now going to be working for a drugs retailer as IT project manager. I do get a 20% discount ...... but not on anything worth taking.


McLannahan - 22/3/11 at 12:34 PM

Superb news, congratulations Mike!


mads - 22/3/11 at 01:07 PM

congratulations Mike! Really pleased to hear the good news. So see you at the next meet?

Everything comes to those who wait. Well done Mike


MikeFellows - 22/3/11 at 01:15 PM

Good luck with the new position.

I know from experience how hard it is to find a decent IT job that doesnt involve a helpdesk


Doctor Derek Doctors - 22/3/11 at 01:59 PM

Well done mate, you'll sleep soundly tonight.....

I know the feeling after spending all of 2009 unemployed it was great to get back to work.

Fozzie


'It' is due when its cooked This is some time from mid may to 4th June ....... every time we get a date it moves. We're working on 30th May & the last time it was sized it was a monster (i'm sooooo glad i don't have to give birth, Sarah is starting to not look forward to it, especially after my mum told her how big my brother and I was).


Fozzie - 22/3/11 at 11:02 PM

OOoooo about 9-ish weeks left then....

Sounds as though Sarah is growing a nice healthy gremlin there!

Naughty mum scaring the poor girl though........
