Ive been getting pissed off at work for quite a while now for various reasons & obviously it was noticable to the extent I got asked to come into a meeting next day to discuss. I was asked to bring in some notes on whats troubling me & I managed to type up 3 & 1/2 A4 pages last night Went to meeting - we talked, we argued, we came to an amicable agreement that I should leave...so...I did

What a sack

So this afternoon ive applied to College to do Measurement & Control Engineering & just now sending a letter off applying for a seasonal job as a gardener for local council

I love it when a plan comes together Get in

How was everyone elses day

Subject edited as it seems im not alone

I would love to be a gardener. Hard work but would be fulfilling I reckon.

My day has been average at best. Trying to sort out an error with my pay
