Have fun - I'm pretty damned sure you will! I did briefly consider blowing my redundancy money on flying lessons, but that would have been such a bad idea.

It would have given you extra transferable skills to include on your CV though.

So far, the message I'm getting is that unless I've got solid experience of retail, admin, customer service or care work, I'm not getting a job in this area.

You could've got a job as a pilot though.

Hmmmmm. Maybe you need to look for work in a different area!

 

[Brigantium]

That means moving

That means moving

I've done it. It sucks. But sometimes it's needed.

 

[Brigantium]

Not really practical, I doubt I could cover living costs. I'm better off volunteering here to get experience in something new, then going into that.

Depends on where you go, and if you find work before moving there. But yeah, I know what you mean.

Those of you who know me may know that I am an escape room addict, to the point of I'm going to suggest we find one to do at the next Maidenfans meetup, as they're a fantastic way to spend an hour and give you a really neat thrill when you escape (as we would, given that most of us possess a unique combination of education, logic, experience, and street smarts). But last night my group here and I did our first VR escape. It was a really cool experience, and it was my first time using high-end Oculus Rift VR equipment. Completely sold me on the viability of the device, and of the "feeling" you get when playing.

I've always wondered how realistic the VR video games really are. It sounds like it's quite exciting.

Try to get a job with Maiden's press team.

I have now secured my right to complain about domestic politics for the next four years, by casting my vote in the general election.

By all means, commence complaining!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I'll wait until after the election is over (on Monday, September 11th - I voted early) before complaining. To see what I have to complain about.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

On politics and complaining: Would you say a voter is more entitled to complain about the politicians he voted for, than about others? Discuss!

 

[Brigantium]

If they don't do what they said they would, yes.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

At the same time - if those you voted for don't end up in power, it is very likely that you'd like to complain about those who are in power
