Work Stresses

[rscott74]

Before retiring I was active in my union and benefits were available from day one. Stress is covered by health and safety regulations and advice will be available from non-union sources.
Not only would I urge union membership but active involvement - helping others can be therapeutic (is that spelt right?)

Just a quickie to say that i've got a start date for my new job(19th Feb), and i'm now working my notice at my current one. Can't wait to start now. Will miss being out and about all day, but i'll pray for a window desk and look out for town wildlife instead

That's great Lincs, I'm really pleased for you. And I shall keep my fingers crossed that you get that window seat. I have pigeons, magpies, blue, great and long-tailed tits and grey squirrels outside mine.

I've just got back from a job interview (yes it was a late one!) it's the first interview I've been to for over 5 years and I'm now kicking myself for being so nervous, I sat there like a big shaking eejit!
I'm mad with myself because I really want the job but only time will tell, I suppose
Well done Lincs on your new job!

I passed the interview and got a letter through saying that i'm now on a waiting list for a job to come up, which i'm told will be Feb time. So I can now go to a decent job, with good pay and pension and the prospect of a career I'm looking forward to it, but also nervous as it's different from anything i've done before

Splendid John! In my experience if your unhappy in a job as you have been you HAVE to get out. Stress can be a killer and you would never have been happy waiting and hoping that things would change. You have done the right thing beleive me. After all, what have you lost?
Everyone feels a little nervous with something new and I'm sure you'll soon settle in. After all, look what you've gained! An increase in pay for new lenses

get a job u like thats my view.. i've done many factory jobs and other boring stuff and it always got me down.. now i'm a self employed window cleaner.. i work for myself am outside all the time... if u can do something u love the stress just doesn't arise.. my view is just keep smiling.. nothings that bad that u need to let it worry u.. just smile...
