After more than thirty five years with the same company, actually at 35years and 1 day....
I was told there's no funding for my job.
I've been job hunting within the company ever since and what have I achieved? Nothing. nada. F*** all.
So I've been offered a package to leave. Not quite a golden goodbye but not base metal...
so that's it. I pushed the button this morning. I plan to take a month off then look for either a college course or an internship leading to a job....but something different...something I want to do. I don't know what that is yet, but it won't be telecomms.
I'm surprisingly cool with this. I don't need to work but a few bob for doing something....well it'll be handy.
Wish me luck.

Counsellor pinchip? Been seeing one of those...it's been good....but it is another one who says I'm too blunt and direct!
can counsellors say things like get off the cross mate, we need the wood....or here's a scrip for a pair of testicles, cash it anytime you like.
onny joking. Such thoughts tend to stay within my head.

Hey Bill Blessings of this day man...Yes I was also at my last job for 35 years when my wife and I decided to leave NewYork,move to Florida and help take care of her parents.Her monm passed a few months ago but dad still needs full daily care..We both thought we would work again,im 67 my wife on 53 but God has had other plans for us.I am still searching part time and my wife is full care everyday for her dad.So adjustment it is.The hardest part for me was after 55 years in the workforce then coming to a full stop has left me dwindling little bit.I have the Band I work with and good church contacts but work is good for the soul.I will lift you up in prayer for a smooth transition in whatever God has planned next for you..Be blessed and remain in grace and serenity.....:)

Hey BB, ... I know a lot of people that would love to be in your position ... go find a mountain somewhere where you can go and be close to your HP and discuss things ... ... ... a few days or weeks ought to do it ... keep an 'open mind' and the answers will come ... least your mum is in a better place and there to support you in spirit ...
Take Care bud ... ... ...

Yes Bill....There is a role for that kind of approach in addictions counseling because it's all about denial busting. Some treatment centers call it "a non-enabling" approach. No lie.
