That bloke "a" gets well and truly stuck in as well and he hasn't got to 800 posts yet either

Bit late to the party but here's my penny worth (from a fairly new newbie) . I left the other place as I didn't like the way some newbies were treated, there seemed to be a select few who decided who they liked and who they didn't. The way some folks were treated was unpleasant to say the least. On here there are squabbles and fall outs, but so what. If you need help there is still a wealth of knowledge here, from electric boats to taking your moggy with you. People on the forum are willing to offer a helping hand. I'll get back in my box and crack on with my night-shift now. Night shift π± π± Lord that post may have set me back years in my counselling Rog I do apologise for 'harshing your buzz' (I do believe that is the modern parlance ). In my defence I do get a load of time off, with the added bonus I don't have to deal with the public.

An added bonus of the stockroom work I engage in during winter is the absence of public.
However they do occasionally throw me onto the shop floor ... just to watch me squirm and sweat I think π

My long term plan is to eventually just pick up work during the winter months.

Sort of ... after my first couple of years doing delivery driving (pretty good) and shop floor work (hated it)for Sommerfields (remember them?) both Jane and I got Christmas temp jobs with BHS , me in the stockroom and Jane shopfloor.
We were there for 9 Christmases, until Phil Green trashed the place.
I got a job at B&M and worked happily there for 4 christmases . I packed in when my knee gave up. I was doing upto 55 hours a week and loved it, but my knee wasn't up to carrying on.
Jane meanwhile was Christmas temping at a clothing and homeware retailer, and fortunately I was invited to work for just 20 hours in their stockroom.
This will be my 4th Christmas at this employer ... my knee's manageable now and I do upto 30 or so hours if needed.
We start 1 October and finish Boxing Day.
We don't have to go home until the very end of September ready to start work, which is great.
We actually enjoy it ... the work reminds us why we run away the rest of the year.
I think if you get a christmas temp job and do okay, they'll be more than happy to have you back ... saves them time and money searching for staff after all π
We find that being totally flexible to their needs for the 12 weeks we're there, isn't a hardship for us, and seriously benefits the managers. Reliability and flexibility is what they need.

What amuses me, and others, is that few if any of the small number of active TB members seem to have noticed how a microcosm of the malevolent CWDF mindset found its way over here with dogless, . . not only surviving, . . but of late, with a few cracks appearing in the facade, becoming rather more active and overt, . . and every bit as surreptitiously destructive as it ever was on CWdf. Who are these 'others' of which you speak endlessly ? This vast army of silent supporters who wait for you to cleanse the forum of my presence and lead them to a better place? You were banned from CWDF ... repeatedly. I'm here because I choose it over CWDF ... I even support your freedom to post all the nonsense you wish provided I am free to say you're a fantasist. Try to relax and enjoy your day ... I am an insignificant nobody and certainly not anyone you need to worry about and constantly attack. Honestly ... they're not all out to get you πRog Correct, only a dedicated department at CART. Not many of them but they know their stuff, seemingly.
