I lost one of my contacts...and it was my last pair.

I only have one contact left and i can' t see well.

The shop is closed until the end of august.

.....why the hell is the opticians closed till the end of august?

they' re in holiday.

...all of them?

I mean can't they take it in turns like every other bloody shop on the face of the planet?

The whole of Europe shuts down for the summer hols. Hence I'm sat here twiddling my thumbs...

I can' t order contacts in another optician' s, you just can' t do it.

For some reason, all of France goes on holiday for about six weeks. None of our field marketing people are in at all, on the French team.

The Scandinavians are worse though. The whole fucking country heads off to the coast for the best part of six weeks.

Make yourself useful and find me a job.

20-30 hours.

In harlow..although epping is do-able if its the right kind of job.

That' s because we work more hours a day.

Haha. Do you fuck. France is well-known for being lazy arses who'll down tools on the slightest grievence.

Erm...no you don't.

Britions work more hours than any other country in europe.

Thats why we're all so grumpy.

I've lost France, Scandi, Italy and Russia. And Spain. Ho hum.

What kind of job 'po?

don't you have back-up glasses?

Ahh, the Italians are still in, but they're hopeless anyway, to be brutally honest.

I don't deal with Russians much, and the Spanish sales/marketing is handled by the International team, who are located about five foot behind me.

At this point I really don't care....something that doesn't involve to much talking to customers would be fairly nice....and obviously not one that requires driving.

Go on pinky...you can do it....be my little pink saviour.

never heard the phrase "i worked a French week yesterday"? it means you worked more than you usually would in a day but not more than our Gallic chums would manage in 5.

My glasses are old, they don' t fit my sight anymore...

What kind of experience do you have? Retail? Office? Data imputting might be good if you don't want to talk to people much.

I'd happily do data imputting...but I've never found one in harlow.

Retail is my experience area....christ I can never use these kind of sites properly.

data inputting made me want to commit suicide...

I can't even spell INPUTTING today - I wouldn't ask me for career advice.

If I were you Hippo I'd sign up with a couple of agencies and see what they have on their books. That way you can vet jobs before applying.

My only worry is that they're temp jobs.

Won't go into it, but the way ben-efits (I wrote it that way cause I think gonch made a word filter for that word) work I have to go into a permanant job....but yeah you're right...I need to man up and explore that avenue.

:shock: You're just thinking of this NOW?!
