Wrote a letter one day Said "I would be late" to stay 6 months I'd been away Picking floored buggers Was my day But only Monday to Sunday And then I was away Until Monday 5.30am But life from 7.30pm until 5.30am Had meaning |

So that you could cope with the buggers! A lucky few do what they love to do. The others look forward to 7.30pm until 5.30am. But every moment of life is precious. To this surely many can relate, dear Dave. Love, Margherita |

Margherita I am over 50 in IT and out of work with IT shortages to the extend that agencies give me telephone numbers like a cop drops you off on boundary. I wrote this about boxes of hamburger bread stuffed in a frozen room that comes out soggy and because the cardboard boxes have lost the stability they all fall over onto the floor when you pull them out. One reason why they get sealed now, so they bounce. I think I have said on a number of occassions - dont assume because chooses to write that they are experiencing personal problems. If that was An English poet lost his legs in a spanish attack, whilst serving on a ship, in fact mending shoes whilst working as a prostitute and in fact was dying at the time. Thomas Hood and his poems He was actually running a Magazine as Deputy Editor which still exists today as the "London Magazine". If wrong I am happy to be corrected. Dave |

Dave in your explanation that is like the shortage of teachers in America ( they are even importing some) yet I have a degree and because I haven't taught in years must get more credits and take several tests to prove I am worthy of teaching again...( in your same age bracket plus) M |

Thanks but at least we never grew up otherwise we would all be bright as a button where the tick off for the lawyers matters more than the tick off that gives the kids the knowledge they need. I didn't even do a degree, I joined the Royal Navy at 16 for 8 years; did a certificate and worked like hell to get Accountancy part qualified to get into IT Yes the whole thing is stupid and I wish we didn't have Blair trying to imititate Bush. We need a leader not a dog who can't remember to stop rearanging the order of the words Dave |
