Thats it all our new boss told us outta a workforce of 10 welders,metal workers etc.that 5 of us had to go.....so from Monday i will be on the social welfare.At the moment im angry,sad and basically pissed of at the system.As Jack said when he got the elbow,it does effect you in many ways....like yer self esteem gets it bad....also and maybe this is a male thing but i feel empty and less of a man because of this,nonsense i know but as i said maybe its a guy thing.Over here(Ireland) 1 in 8 people are now without jobs.Im kinda lucky coz i got a weekend job in a small chop shop(garage)which is cash in hand so i will be able to claim welfare&do the garage work just as long as i dont mention this to the local social office.Im not looking forward to the empty days ahead,but luckily again i have a few Euros saved,i dont have a mortgage....so im better off than some folks,but being realistic this is an oppurtunity for the smack devil on my shoulder to wake up,I really think i will be o.k drugs wise,but forever vigilante.All the best to anyone who has been laid off and others who are holding onto their jobs by their finger nails.....take care from s***ty jobless Ireland .....Davey
Sorry bout the title...i meant 6days not months...........Davey

Sorry Davey. You're more than just your job.
Alrite all....things are turning up...as i said above i worked p/t in a garage...well i did a day with them yesterday and asked the boss....who i know for years,if he could give me a few more days,he pondered a bit but said he could take me on three days also for the days im not working i can still sign on(welfare)so alls not to bad.Three days and some money from the dole,it put me on par with my last job......dont know how secure the job is,but i count my blessings ive jumped into a p/t job already....very happy.I was thinking(yeah i know)bout doin my apprenticship when i was 16 and thought f*** this for a game of soldeirs.but i got my 4yr.app.done eventually...and its stood me in good steed....always sumthin to fall back on.Anyhow someone musta been looking after me(r.i.p Joe)Take care all.......Davey
Yeah someone is mate.... everything will work out Davey, maybe not right away, but you know if you keep at it you'll be back in FT employment in no time. Check young Sian taking over you on the footie, eh?........
take it easy, Kev
take it easy, Kev
Kevo long time mate,you know the score....but if this guy can offer me days cash in hand and i get the social for the days not worked...so its a nice little earner.I wont be far off what i was making f/t as a welder.Im so f***ing lucky Kev....their are no jobs here only job losses,so my days in the garage are a godsend also i will have a bit more time on my hands which is a good thing concerning Sian,but have to mind myself drugswise....yer right pal Sian deftly slipped into 2 nd.place,and she joined 3weeks after us so fairplay to the girl......i say with gritted teeth!!!!as the season reaches its last few months it should become desparate....last week i had 3 players out on red card and one injured just had to vent that,....for me its been a season of ups&downs,highs and lows,what ifs and whys???....bit like life LOL.
Hope alls good in sunny Dundee....nice bitta slush on the pavement,trainers all f***ed up....thats how it goes eh Kev.
Kev all the best for the future....are you still in college?give yer missus a hello ............Davey

Dear Davey,
Sorry to hear about the layoff but glad to hear things are starting to look up already. One thing really bothered me in your post though. You said....
"As Jack said when he got the elbow,it does effect you in many ways....like yer self esteem gets it bad....also and maybe this is a male thing but i feel empty and less of a man because of this,nonsense i know but as i said maybe its a guy thing."
I can understand how you would feel this way if you were fired from a job for not being a good employee, but you've got to know that a layoff is due to financial problems with our bad world economy and does not reflect on you whatsoever. So you just kick those bad thoughts right out of your head if they come back!
Love,
Susan

Davey,
Do some sums mate. If you have sian you can get working tax credit if you're doing more than 16hrs and they don't check they don't need to see no NI number or anything. For me it's better saying i'm working even if there are days when i aren't and getting the credit 450 a month than signing on. Plus child tax credit but you have to not tell them that there are days when you're not working. you've got a trade say self employed working casual. You're working ur okay up to 10 grand.

Thanks Jaz.......over here if i work my 2/3 days i can also claim benefit for the days not worked and as ya said can claim benefit for Sian.....not to sure what to do yet,as im thinking..yep? thinking of doin a college course starting in Sept......but i gotta stick with the few days i get at the garage....moneys not really desperate yet,but soon it will be,although benefits are far better here than in the U.K a single guys can get up to 200+euros a week,so i should fair slightly better moneywise,but i got one loan out bout 2500euro,but have insurance out on the loan so they should be o.k.Its all a bit of a muddle at the moment,ive told Sian and she seems o.k with it ,she looks upon it as more time with me,shes a great lil supporter.Anyhow cheers Jaz.....and everyone else.........Davey
P.S hows yer arm Jaz?

Wrist and arm is bad had to finish a job with it in plaster now taking some time off but will leave me broke. Man having a tough time they wouldn't swop his amps for te syrup right away so gone from 50ml amps to 30ml syrup and 30ml amps. But they only do amps in 10ml glass tubes so he has to have 3 amps each day and the syringe they've given him isn't big enough. So this morning he had to inject twice then take his syrup. The point of coming off the amps was to stop the injecting but they say it's impossible to do a straight swop.
Plus i'm in pain so a bit big girls blouse weepy. And his friend who i posted about a while ago the ex celeb musician. We're watching this lad die each day -booze - but it's been so fast he was rough but now it's too late. He's very sick and no friends, two little kids but still drinking. And we can't have him here and it's maybe only days away cuz he can't eat no more. And it's upsetting as it's been so fast maybe in 2 weeks from 34yrs to looking 74yrs very scary. And he's a good lad he beat the gear and the booze was waiting.

Hi Davey,
I just read your post about your working situation. That is not fun but hey i'm glad to read that you still were able to find work elsewhere and plus remember ...when one door closes, another one opens. Who knows ....
I think it's a good idea the college course. Let us know what happens with that. When must you register?
Thinking of you.
