and it went well  :D

I know more about the role, and its shift work, which initially put me off, but actually turns out to be good. There are 2 shifts, a morning one 8AM-6PM and evening one, 12PM-10. Good part is that i will always be traveling outside rush hour, which is good as the job is just off Jc2 of the M4.

Its also 3 days on, 3 days off, so working it out, i will only be working 16 days a month!  ;D

They liked my strong mobile background, and said i have very strong chance.  :) They just have to see 1 more person to see.

Should hear back on Friday, then its time to haggle with that daily rate  :D
Don't jump until you're pushed ,you might get a fair few quid in a redundancy package ? can you work out how much you would be entitled to ?

Yup, at best its 3k, not really worth it.

you could use the bike for your new commute. :y

I was thinking about that, i would need to swap it for a Fazer i think.

The MT is a naked bike, and its hard work doing 80 all day long. Its a single cylinder 660cc, so great thumper for twisty roads, but not ideal for motorways.

Although it would reduce my costs, but being self employed i can claim for petrol anyway, so not sure if i would save that much  :-/

So is this contract work currently?

Nah,get a proper bike mate,youve got a few miles under your belt now,you should be hankering after something with more BHP,s than kilos. ;) ;D

I was thinking 600/1000cc Fazer, i like the looks of the new shape ones.

I do like the BMW GS 1200 Adventure's but they are a bit pricey (no surprise there)

The "new" 600 Fazers are pretty quick TBH... A mate has a 3 yr old one, de-catted, K&N'd and mapped and it keeps up with most 1000's apart from at the top end :y :y :y

* time shifts are not easy to compensate for your body in the long term..

* 3 days off is important.. you can do other jobs or even you can prepare some other things for future..

* economic environment sooner or later will change.. so who knows what future will bring..

you decide :y
