    Bad puns and average disc golf?

    I don't really have one. I fell into a casual job with Telstra nearly 12 years ago after sucking at university. I've climbed my way up but have no qualifications in any field. Kind of just learnt anything on the fly, made some stuff up as I went and found myself to be good at something I had no plans to be involved in 15 years ago.

    10 years or more in a job is about as good a qualification as you can get.
    It shows that you are dedicated, demonstrates that you were always learning new systems and procedures, and because of that would have no issues transferring to another sector of employment.

    What has your job involved mate? As Dunster said, maybe some of us know something coming up.

    Are you still in Newy?

    You should look at turning your skills into your own business.

    Because that's a pretty good qualification right there.

    Plus you cant get sacked if you own the joint.

    I tried that after 20 years working in the same joint....not all beer and skittles. Back in a management job I hate micro managing underlings. Not my cup of tea but it pays the mortgage.

    Very sobering to find 20 years management and HR experience means jot these days against a 21 year old with zero experience but a Diploma.

    I wonder if they rate Hazard in the top handful of players or support Liverpool?

    31st October appears to be the end. Unsuccessful in a few redeployment opportunities, including an amazing role in Hong Kong. Such a kick in the guts to be told you're not good enough despite a decade of high performances and some major achievements against my name.

    It's got nothing to do with not being good enough. It's about a business / organisation restructuring.

    Get a job in retail, work at a service station... whatever. If you don't have kids and so on to worry about you can work the hours most people don't want to making you very employable

    Do that to keep the money coming in and who knows you might actually enjoy it.

    Do some labouring... anything. Just don't wait for a job to be handed to you because it rarely happens.

    Don't think of it as a step backwards either - it's capitalism - so all jobs are shit in the end and you really only work to make a handful of people you will never meet rich anyway.

    Disc Golf > Work. Remember that.

    Airport baggage carousels.

    Why can people hang back until their bag comes? Nah let's stand right beside the thing and block people who actually have their bag coming.

    Having the wife’s family over and putting on a lovely bit of lamb on the BBQ rotisserie, serving it up with roast vegies and greens only to see her brother and mother ignore the gravy I have made with the juices from the lamb to smother their entire plates in tomato sauce.
