Out of curiosity, what is it that you do?

Solicitor. I deal with the Council's more complex land work. The rest of the team aren't qualified, they can deal with standard stuff but wouldn't really be able to deal with the more involved work that comes in, particularly development agreements. Guess they'll have to learn A team of eight is now cut to a team of three, the five gone are all great people, it's a busy team and I don't know how they'll cope. This is the reality of life in local government.

I was expecting it but still hoped they'd keep me on for a bit.

I meant that in a positive way Ed..

something will happen soon that will make you happy this happenned - look how much you have enjoyed digging trenches and re felting rooves etc on your new house.

I know you did, Quiff.

I went to hell and back over the law firm and I have no plans to go there again. Me, I'm looking forwards.

I don't really want another job, I haven't been an employee since 2003 and I couldn't bear having some tosser who knows f*ck all about f*ck all telling me what to do and how to do it.

For a month or so I've had a business idea. It needs next to no capital (just as well as I don't have any), and I can do it from home using the laptop I'm typing this on. I've got a lot of experience, good and bad, and I'm planning on setting up a management consultancy for law firms. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is introducing a lot of change October, and most law firms have next to no idea what's about to hit them. So I'm going to help. For a fee, of course I've been doing a lot of reading, market research, developing a marketing database on MS Access, designing and writing a website, writing a biz plan and also standard consultancy materials - eg draft biz plan for a law firm, draft risk management processes, and so on. It's a lot of work

Hope to go live soon

Fingers crossed and wishing you well. Hope everything works out for you.


Ste.

Ah bugger, obviously not meant to be Ed, you'll walk into something else easy enough I'm sure

[BanannaMan]

Sorry to hear.
Hope it all works out for the best.

Tough times Ed. Hope all goes well for you. Your a good guy.

I thought you might have been a medico for some reason, but that didn't sit right... There are always plenty of jobs in these parts for people in the medical profession.
I know what you mean though... I live in a shire which makes some stupifying decisions on how they allocate resources.
