Blimey Anfield, so sorry to hear that. I hope you can find something quickly.
I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Anfield, that's a bugger isn't it!
Having once been made redundant I can guess how you feel. Trust me, a job will come along if you keep looking - often from an unexpected quarter. In my case I put my details through to the 40th agency I had come across. They found me a job. On the first day the agency rang up to say they had gone belly up. I had a word with the new employer and they gave me the names of agencies they normally used and I simply switched agents. After 3 years doing short term contracts (6 weeks to a year) I landed a job a bus ride away and stayed 20 years.
Fatherly advice bit: No matter how tight your budget, set aside a sum for 'treats'. If you hit one of the inevitable low points, a bag of toffees or a beer without feeling guilty is a great morale booster.Duncan Rollo

Thanks for the support my friends. To be honest I am slightly peeved, but we all known in this sector that our courses can be dropped by the government funding agencies at any time, so we live in a state of being semi-prepared for this sort of thing. I am far more worried about Alicia than my job. I will find something else, where as she has been told she will never see properly again, and the scars on her face will be visible for at least 6 years. So my petty job issues kind of fade into the background

At the moment yes, for the first time in a decade New Plymouth is struggling because the energy sector is not producing, thus has a knock on effect through the town. If I stay in New Plymouth (my preferred option) I wont find work in the areas I am currently working in. If I want to stay in this type of job, I will have to look to relocate.

Sad to hear tough stories.
I have to say then my life is currently pretty fine compared to the setbacks others have suffered. But that's what life is - you never know, what might happen, and setbacks can happen all of a sudden!

Also, New Plymouth is almost at the other side of the world compared to where I reside. So that's interesting. Wondering, how is life there.
