yeah, new contract aint it
back to sillyfield again! still I cant complain. Better that than be on the dole!
Mergh you get more radiation down in cornwall! At the moment our house is one mile from Dounreay. I was stood on top of one of the reactors and I didnt get a single count. Gutting!
I managed to get one measely microsievert once though!
Basically they are about to make several hundred contracting staff up here at Dounreay redundant as they have massively overspent and are delaying projects in order to spread out the costing. What they dont actually explain to the rest of the world is how much more this will cost in the lifecycle of the project... in the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds. Wasted. They will announce the redunancies at the end of the tax year. Rather than sit around in a flooded market of engineers which will bring the rates down I was proactive and got meself a job last week. I was well chuffed. Withing 5 hours of contacting an agency, interview and job secured. Sweet.
Whoever said contracting is to risky is bonkers!
We are still keeping the scottish highlands as our "home" though. I will be commuting down on a monday and back on a friday night. I cant stand it down south anymore and neither can the mrs. Its too busy down there.
She actually went down to stoke on trent yesterday and today some fooker crashed into her as my mrs sat still at a roundabout waiting to go. Apparently the "crashee" never saw her!... well she never saw the fookin tow bar on the back of my mrs car that practically destroyed the front her car either the dumb bint.
anyway! Still loving the highlands, weathers great![/QUOTE
