[Madasafish]

Hmm..Mine at present is staring at me from my second screen..

Seems to be a fair number of us working from home - hey...we should set up a support group ... it could have legs eh

[Mikey]

I thought this was a support group...have I come to the wrong place again.

My age is causing me some problems today.

Please, lets not start discussing supports. We''ll be full circle back to bras again!

I've kept well out of that changing room, I have no idea what you are on about.

[veggiechicken]

I've tried too, Mikey, but keep thinking I might find some pointers in the right direction, for a change!!

It depends on how much you need the money really and whether you'll like the job when you get there. The second of these is difficult to answer until you do the job but if it ends up being not really what you want then you'll soon resent it. Personally I refuse to commute, would rather earn less and have quality of life and with the price of petrol at the moment the balance is soon offset anyway. Will you get the travel allowance forever or is it just for the first year? Will you be able to work flexibly? What does your OH say? Are you sure it'll only take 20 mins longer at rush hour? So many variables but the fact you're asking on here leads me to think that you're not too sure about it yourself or you would have already accepted.

[Mikey]

Isn't work strange, if you were buying a car or a house, you'd go and try it out first.

A job though...well we might aswell be blindfolded.

My tongue was in my cheek!

The unfair thing is that they get to try you out and if they don't like you, its on your bike.
I had a friend who fancied living and working in Canada so he took 6 weeks holiday from his job in the UK and emigrated. Tried it for 5 weeks, decided it wasn't for him and returned to his job with his employers none the wiser!!
Can you do that Chris - and I don't mean go to Canada -

[Mikey]

I daren't do that, I'm hungry and might bite it.

I think thats fine if you don't plan on staying, but how do you work out your notice in that arrangement.

I'd love to, but I'm off golfing in a few minutes. Do I have time to pop it in a sandwich?
