Stonehouse69. You are doing your best to support your family, during what I know from personal experience, to be the worst recession since the BIGGIE of the 1930,s. (I was born no7 of 10, right in the middle of it). I never broke stroke work-wise right through the 50.s-6o,s-70s-80s and 90,s. If I had retired 3 weeks after I did, I would have worked for exactly 50 years.So it is well done you for doing your best in these trying times. I would suggest that you take the advice offered by Newmercman, which I fully support, and stick with the agency that you are with at present. If something more permanent comes along, at which you can earn more;Then it is time to consider changing jobs. Right now, I would be sticking with the job that I had
Insofar as the “needy” housewife is concerned, and I know that you put that in jokingly. What a man most needs at times like this,-- and I say this with all due respect to your wife,-- is a supportive wife. I am sure that she will be also doing her best. So it is Good Luck to you and your family. Stick with it. Keep gently reminding your agency about your need for more work. You deserve it.
ps.it is “knowledge”
Thanx m8, id like to stay where i am, not many people in my position have been so lucky so i
m grateful for what i have.
LOL, I love my wife very much and when we had the driving talk
, she was very supportive and understood that i would be working long hours/sometimes nights out and assures me that she would stand by me, whatever i choose to do, so again, im very lucky to have her! After all, if it wasnt for her, i wouldnt have my 2 beautiful kids who ( like all dads) i love with all my life!
She just worries alot and its kinda hard to keep her calm!
You and merc always seem to give good advice, which is why i always listen to what you have to say. Its good to have constructive advice from people who have seen and been through it all, dont be offended but you remind me of my grandad (god bless him), he drove for 30+ years and always had the right things to say, so thanx again.
My minds made up, ill stick it out and when it does get better, it
ll be because of you and merc and there will be a few pints waiting at the bar for you
