Come to the conclusion that I am going to sink without trace if I don't get a business partner to kick me out of this bastard sea swamp of total unmitigated apathy and gross unenthusiasm for everything work connected, not helped by floods of tears and anquish this morning from 'The Boy#2, when asked what exactly he's planning on doing when he leaves school in just 25 days time.

Tramps have such an easy life, it's fast becoming an attractive proposition.

Precisely. We'd all love to know. ::)
 He's also swimming in a sea swamp of total unmitigated apathy, and total negativity, with absolutely no idea whatsoever what he'd like to do, only I think I may know differently....car sales. eeek:

Mrs Growler suggested getting a good trade behind him, you know, a life skill, but he simply says NO.
He has my complete sympathy and understanding though. It isn't easy trying to make the right decision.

I give up....for now, until the 'seconds out, round 2' bell rings.

I know. ::)

Who knows? We're reasonably optomistic about some half decent but unspectacular results come August.
We've suggested business studies at college, so we'll wait and see.
He simply says he wants a decent job with a reasonable wage.

As for car sales, i know that it can be a decent career option, but you've got to be of a certain character....sharp, tough, selfish, and downright bloody ruthless, not 'attributes' I'd associate with Growler jnr tbh.
He's probably get eaten alive by all the sharks that are swimming around in that industr....I know, I see them every day.
I'd probably do quite well at it, as I've hardened over the last 13 years seeing what goes on in the background. evil:

It depends what he sees as a reasonable wage. To be honest if he is dead set against college/university then he is better off in the real world until he decides he is. In my experience most of them last a couple of years before realising they should go back.

These 2 button things are a pain. If you press the full flush button, it starts automatically flushing every time the cistern gets full. Apparently it is a common problem.

Chaos ensued. Every department relies on that server to update all they do. On POETS day, they try to go earlier -4.30 and when the "system says no" they run, with wild eyes, foaming at the mouth to THE "IT bod" in the office. Which is me.

No words of re-assurance and comfort work. I am the devil. I managed to get full restoration of the server, minus a few last minute updates, by 5.10.

This made me late for my Young's so I ain't happy.
