I'm kind of happy I got a job now, but at the same time I've enjoyed immensely living off my redundancy money and not having to go to work- I've got loads of things done during this time that I'm sure I wouldn't have had time for otherwise.

The salary is good (well, 'ok' when you take into account the number of hours I'll be working) at 18k for monday - friday 8am till 5:30pm and 3:30pm on a friday. Half hour for lunch. So I guess that comes to about 7 or 8 quid per hour. Then there's the tax-mans cut...
For now I'm employed through an agency, so I'd imagine if I get taken on as permanent staff, then some sort of pay-rise will follow. We shall see. Other good point is that it takes about 15 minutes drive door to door, so I'll not be on the road lots.

Hooray for me... er, sort of :roll: ;)
