      New year's resolutions do terrible things to a man. From there its a short hop to a nice top, a skip to some lycra leggings and before you know it you're selling locomotives to fund race entries.

      hehe, given the amount of Laphroaig sitting here..... that plan has a lot to reccomend it. Didn't want ot go into work this week anyhow. Oddly there is a certain amount of speculation based upon the horror of having to sleep in butanone fumes. Where do they get off charging sooooooo much?

  15. Mention is often made of the generic basic 'shelf stacking job in a supermarket'. I've been looking for jobs for five years and I've never seen an advert for one. Can someone tell me where this generic role gets advertised? :-S

      I'm with you there brother. 20 yrs in trade and out the door, welcome to a world of agency meat fishing. Learn o smell the BS.... the bigger the title the higher the hoop to jump through for minimal reward. No HR advertises anything generic. Below a certain level (I've played both sides of that line) and you're agency fodder, above it and you're HR recruitment response worthy. Sounds harsh, but thats my experience.
