Oh dear, my job's in jeopardy. My boss has already been cut down to a 4 day week, and if there's no new contracts in within a week (looks unlikely), bye bye employment

So, em, any of you IT heads know of anything going for a programmer with 5 and a half years of mixed-bag experience?

Can you clean?

Man my house is some state let's say a score an evening. And me office is always looking for a cleaner too. You could have a fleet of lurries by the end of the week. Just think.......

Yep
Ah it's not so bad - it'll be kinda romantic to have to live on my wits again for a while.
On an alternative career type buzz, anyone have any idea where you'd get one of those bicycles where you turn the handlebars one way and the front wheel turns the other way? Anyone even know what they're called so I can get one off the internet with my last month's pay?

As young(er)ster I was at this place in France that had all sorts of crazy bikes like that, scooters too, it was fun.

You could always go on the game....a handsome young fella like should be able to fetch a princely sum for leisurely services

at the risk of sounding like your mum, you're about to be laid off and you want to buy a broken bike with your money. ha!

this'll amuse you too...

My company liquidated last week. Sniff. That's my second dot com failure in a row.

To summarise: I'll fight Egg for any jobs going. Unless people want to pay to see me and Egg fight.......

oh wow. thumped - the site for the unemployed. and on the fame of thumped:

"*AHEM* well, you see...
I'm the Pete Brady of this board and because I'm UBER-USER, I get 5 boxes. The more posts you make, the more boxes you get, except people like me. Now, this isn't my rule, it's all in the programming, I just changed the pictures."

"Senator, you are no Pete Brady."

"I was just choosing an appropriate analogue for purposes of explanation."

"analogue schmanalogue"

"I don't think you quite understand who Pete Brady is."

"sure i do, he invented the printing press, right."

...all from another irish site bbs...

you'd better spill the beans on what site that was on - if not, retaliation will be swift and merciless:

i shall begin with a cruise missile attack on monkeybomb

after that, carpet bombing of cluas will commence

the sympathisers on boards.ie (to include the xfm and phantom boards) will not be spared.

culchikore is also to be targetted, as is kaboom

collateral damage, while unfortunate, is inevitable

you have been warned
