Having just returned to work from holiday to find myself out of a job. I can only reflect that perhaps I spent too much time on this addictive website pursuing our common interest. That wasn't the reason I lost my job...but could all the time when I was having a little sneaky look (which were never quick)not have been put to a more productive use. I post this as a warning to others..keep it in moderation and not when you are meant to be working! Robert |

I suppose the only up side is that, whilst you look for another job, you now have more time to spend on this highly addictive hobby!!! Good luck with finding a new job, Best wishes Bev |

You guys are all doing this at WORK ???????? I don't believe it! Can someone get me a job please so I don't have to be self employed anymore and just do this in my own time! Or shall we all join up to create a geneal. research firm and sell our expertise? Seriously, really sorry to hear your job has gone. Half the fun of life is never knowing exactly what is around the next corner so keep smiling! Janet |

It is only a hobby but I agree it is a highly addictive one. I've been unemployed for some time now but have been desperately trying to get a job back in the IT industry. However, I sometimes find if I'm not careful that I end up channeling all my energies into finding more and more rellies instead of finding work! |

At the moment we have free internet access off-peak, evenings and weekends. We keep thinking about changing to free anytime internet access, but maybe not a good idea!! I find myself waiting for 6'oclock with itchy fingers, but at least it means I get to work on time and housework done (sometimes)!! Maggy |
