I know the private sector is far more brutal >but don't believe all the garbage in the papers. Forgive me. I live in the world where I'm one bad sales quarter away from the dole queue (and have done for many years). And anyone who works in the private sector who believe differently is deluded. I also have three family members who work in the public sector and tell me how hard it is, and how they feel threatened. They've all been "redeployed" several times. Oddly, they've never actually been made redundant. Which is probably just as well, because with the way they talk about their day-to-day work, they're completely unemployable. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I've always been a man who's open to persuasion

Okay, there may be some aspects of the day to day stuff that I find terminally boring but these are vastly outnumbered by the interesting stuff that comes up. Still, I'm pretty much convinced that I'm completely unemployable too, but I'm pretty sure that's just a temporary mindset thing at the moment ;-). -- DozynSleepy

That'll be me then. If I didn't have bills to pay, I'd currently be blating around the Pyrenees on a bike, or windsurfing in Aruba, or playing with the dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico[1], or snowboarding in Canada, or... etc etc. [1] OK maybe not that one this year. -- Krusty Raptor 1000 MV 750 Senna Tiger 955i Tiger 885 Fantic Hiro 250
