Unfortunately not! Apologies for the late reply! But I know exactly what you're talking about!

That explains why a lot of people you encounter in a business are a bit dumb  But they've been employed because of their *spit* experience, whether they were previously any good or not. There's definately something wrong there! |

I know!  It drives me mad when I hear people complaing how crap their job is, and how they're only paid about £1,200 pm, before tax! I wish I had a job that paid me that! |

I scream whenever there's another pay dispute on the news, like postal workers or train drivers moaning about things! If I get a job (that'll be when pigs fly, unfortunately) I won't moan about my pay at all.

I agree with that, but I don't think I'd work for the company at all if I knew it was below it |

My old school companion Angela isn't happy with her job but I can see why. It's a housekeeping job in one of those Travel Inns in Glasgow and she has to make loads of beds and stuff, but it's hurting her back a lot. I told her to quit it if it was doing her that much harm but she said she can't 'til she gets another job.
Even though I want a job badly, I still don't want to apply for a job like that, or as a cleaner, a factory worker or a checkout assistant. I just couldn't cope with the saminess of it all, and there's no challenge in jobs like these. I want something I can get my teeth into!

That's the same as me, I want something that will interest me whilst I'm writing my book!

Well, it's a kind of LOTR book, with a bit more humour in it! Heh, it's basically your average fantasy novel, ya know, heroine is abandoned at birth, grows up in a family of bandits, discovers parents were royalty, finds out she's the heir to the kingdom, has to defeat evil brother, not to mention the invading armies, also she has to unite all 7 lands together! That's literally the very basics of it, if I go any deeper, this post will be huge! ;D Does it sound interesting?
