That's a real drag... Remember though - mdone is a prescribed drug ,you legally cannot be held back from a job because you take it . It is medicine prescribed by a doctor.. Weed is not- -(oh the irony) I hope you got
a few bucks saved. Its tough looking for work without any backup dough. You feel like you gotta take the 1st thing that is offered. Hang in there though ! ,with your skills ,youll be hired quickly- - do not despair.

Jack i said nothin bout the done.thinking it would only work agaisnt me....and when s*** happens it surely does...my daughters eighth b/d is on Sat......any money i got goes on her...ive got savings but cant touch them for 2yrs.....thats if i can make the payments and ive got other bills and commitments.....so from my angle i really dunno what to do.Thank you...........Davey
Oh Davey I hate to see ya so beside yourself............not that this would help, but a thought..............do you guys have unemployment comp in your country.......seeings as they said they canned ya..........whose to say why they did...........they've had it in for ya dn were just waiting.
Just a thought until you find something...........it'd be worth the fight if you guys do have it.
It is though such a drag.

You say they had it in for you? Well, I know this won't sit well with some but did you think maybe it was the drugs? I am not one for sugar coating. You were caught sleeping on the job. I lost many jobs because of drug use, tardies, falling asleep. This is reality and one of those consequences when you chance using drugs. They could not can you for the use of methadone if it is prescribed. So many times addicts think they are the victims. I know I did but the reality was I made my bed and I had to sleep in it. I hope you use this as a learning experience. Next time you want to smoke a joint or drink some alcohol, think about the consequences. I truely hope you find a job soon for you and your families sake. Dawn
Davey, i'm gutted for you mate, when i saw that post there.....
Well mate, you know what you've got to do, like Bryn said, you have worked there for 6 years, that is something. You'll get another job, you know you will, just keep your head up and stay strong for you and Sian. Here's hoping your posting how it was a blessing in disguise in a few weeks. Keep the Faith Davey. Take care over there, Kev

and just a sidenote to dawn.......sometimes life just isnt fair and you might not know davey like we do ........<funny saying that> but he is a great dad and person and he is not to feel he is to blame at all............he is clean and sober.....
Prayers r with ya davey ;-)

Of course I have to address this to Dawn.........did you read where he said he had the job for SIX YEARS? That speaks volumes.
Have you ever read any of his posts, Dawn? Know anything about his job?
Are you aware that he's a single dad who has soley raised his little girl for six years? Do you know his life revolves around that little girl? She is his world.
Do you know he gets up on his only two days off and takes her bike riding, swimming and to the library? He is there every single night for homework, cupcake duty, parent meetings and treats her friends for movies and other things on weekends?
Of anyone Dawn you should know the stigma that goes along with methadone. Point blank the guy got whispered about and flat out busted on and called junkie behind his back because he's on methadone. He has reserved himself and didn't kick anyone's a*s and ya know why? Because he didn't want to get the boot at work.
Are you aware that other people in that place of business sleep too? On the job. Ohhhhhhhhh and while we're at it. He's from London and lives in Ireland. You know how much b*ll busting they did to him because of that? Think bigot. Think discrimination. Think a bunch of men busting on one guy.
He was not drinking IN work. He don't even go out on weekends. If there is a odd time out that he can his mom watches his little girl.
It's understandable you don't sugar coat things. Most of us don't. That is you way and that's great, BUT he's not you. We don't need to know about why you got fired. The post is about him and he's sharing with people who support him.
Say everything was true. Say he was drunk off his a*s and high in work and that's why he fell asleep. You'd be right to share and give advice, but the last thing he needs is a lecture from someone that hasn't read every post he's ever made and isn't aware of how his work situation was going for the last year.
Preachy. Bossy and demanding. That's wonderful your recovery is going well. Good for you, but nobody needs an attitude when they're where he is right now.
Just my opinion. A little empathy can go a long way, Dawn. Try it sometime.

Right Davey, take it easy......
Hey Davey, gutted to read your post, life is so unfair and rubbish sometimes, but try to stay positive and focused. You said you never liked the job anyway....so maybe this is a chance to get one you prefer?
Wish Sian a BIG happy birthday and have fun bowling!

Is having a job for 6 years an excuse to "Fu** off", sleep on the job? I didn;t write it. If you aren't happy with a job, find another one. I bet if you were paying him to fu** off and sleep on the job, you would feel a lot different.
And Bryn, If you read my posts, I am VERY Empathetic. As you see, I also encouraged him to use this as a learning tool and hoped he found another job soon for not just his families sake but for himself too.
I share my ES&H. I call it the way I see it. You share your way and I will share mine.
Have a great 24 hours.
Dawn

Anytime someone loses their livelihood ,especially after many years of solid service it is a tough deal. To be trying to recover, have a little kid, and doing all this yourself is even tougher,
Never mind the Irish/English thing- one can only take so much of sh*t t=like that.
Where Ive worked for 12 years- Even if you doze, or if your workmanship gets sloppy- - you get brought to Human Resources and written up a few times before any action can even begin to take place regarding your termination.
I dont know how big a company it is , but there are procedures that protect the working man (at least in this country)-
Sometimes it aint worth following thru with them -sometimes it is
Maybe its a blessing in disguise
All the best- of course
