Well, that's that!

I left work today for the last time.  The boss can't afford to keep me on.  He can barely afford to keep himself on (there were only 2 of us).  So who, now, will want a 53-year-old with rheumatoid arthritis and zero morale?

Aaaaahhhhh bloomin heck Mouse and right on Christmas too. You still have years left for working. Plenty of places would be glad to have you.

Somebody who doesn't want a Know it all 23 year old with Lazyitis..........PMA........Positive Mental Attitude.

[mouse4702]

Aw thanks, guys.  Just feeling sorry for myself - not an attractive trait.  So I'll hoik up me socks and titivate the old CV.  Mouse is back on the market!!  and a bargain at the price!!

[mustavaquid]

Sorry to hear that but hope you got your proper redundancy entitlement. 

[mouse4702]

Sadly I've only been there since July, and before that on a work placement.  Still, it's all experience - something I'll never forget and I've met some amazing people and done things I'd only dreamt of.

[bitsnknots]

Aw that's a shame Mouse.  I hope that you manage to find something soon.   

((((((Mouse))))))

[saasher2012]

Don't despair, jobs are there for us in our fifties it just needs a little longer looking for.((()))

[merc1_clocks]

     for you mouse 

[learning2me]

Such a shame Mouse, especially as you loved the work so much.

Really hope you find something soon.

One door closes another opens Mouse!

You have years of experience and knowledge and have lived in an era where things were not handed on a plate.

Age is only a thing in your mind you are as old as you feel! get back out there especially this time of the year and prove you are never too old!

I stood waiting at a self service till yesterday as the stupid machine kept requesting a member of staff was needed,  everytime something was put into the bag the till reacted this way! twice the same member of staff stood there waiting for anyone needing help but her mind was elsewhere, I was damned if I was going to ask her to help as the red light thingy was flashing like mad gawd help that store with Christmas coming up!

that's the spirit Mouse, treat the next few weeks as a holiday and go for it in the New Year. I'm sure with positive outlook and  your CV you'll soon have another job.

Chin up girl! you can do it!!!

[rainydaywoman11]

Golly Mousie, I just googled you - and there is bound to be a job out there waiting for you   Good luck with job hunting in the New Year.

[j_uk643]

Sorry to hear that mouse, hopefully something better will turn up in the New Year

As an english poet might have said, relax, recoup, & regroup

And if you receive any unsolicited emails from someone wanting to visit from Russia or thereabouts called, vlad the inhaler

perhaps confine it to the  waste bin
