bucketep91 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I know the feeling mate. Im a floorlayer, got contracts with a few places but it all dried up last year and i was out of constant work for months. i was offered a job selling alarms door to door. It was soul destroying and fucking freezing but the money was ok i suppose.I gave it up after 5 months and im back out on the tools. Feels good to be back out again.It can be hard to start with something new when youve been doing something so long but it pays the bills and you can always go back to what you knowwhat do you do anyway if you dont mind me asking?edit - just seen your last post.

gaz Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tell me about it. I would consider myself a smart guy, in fact I think I could do most jobs and learn anything needed quickly. But I'm not given the opportunity. Was working as a gardener, that's what I amounted to. Don't even know if I'm supposed to be going back, as it's seasonal.Really getting to me now!!!
