Ah, the great "I'd rather be doing something else" syndrome.

When I had a spell of not working, I was lucky enough to have a bit of a
windfall; not loads of money but enough to enjoy myself for a little
while. My problem was that everyone I knew would enjoy it with me was at
bloody work!

As has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread, I'd rather do
something more rewarding and not have to worry about how to pay for the
mortgage etc. One can also afford the luxury of throwing it all in at a
moment's notice, too.

"You will be assimilated, resistance is futile"

 

Yep. I wouldn't move from here; I'd pay a bloody good builder I know to
finish off the pile.

Yep. But having learned the hard way, I'd seed myself some startup
capital and stick to a plan. If it's a flyer it'll pay for itself.

Depends on the size of it (fnaar). A win of 20 mill would see me blow at
least a mill on silliness. 10 mill, perhaps 0.5; any less than that it'd
be a night out with the lads and a bag of chips.

 

Well I'm glad we've cleared that one up.

I think you might have

 

I think you've got it there; being able to afford the luxury of throwing
it in.

If I won a couple of million it would certainly make a big difference to
my life but I doubt that I'd knock work on the head. In fact I'm pretty
confident I'd keep working in the same area and probably for the same
employer. However I'd be more willing to say "**** it" at 5 and head
for the Gym/Home rather than working on.

 

God's Teeth, you took your time.

 

As far as I'm aware *neither* of you has shagged me!

Yes, thanks for opening that little subthread. As if we need any more
willy waving round here !

P.

 

Can I just say that I've never shagged a ukrmer OR an accountant?

<thinks back to last weekend>

Wasn't this one of the categories on UKRM top trumps?

 

Do wild accusations count ? ;-)

You mean perfectly reasonable assumptions? Yes.

Top marks to you for raising the stakes with that !

Oh. That's me buggered then ...

I may well do the same line of work (all I've ever done really) but part
time and easy. I don't think I'd want to work for my current employer
though but phoning in at 2pm and saying I'm coming back and not care
about the (possible) consequences would be one worry less.

I think I'd like to work in a florist or something if I didn't have to
worry about money or give my time to Battersea Dogs home or some place
like that. Somewhere where my efforts would be appreciated.

 

Isn't Penicillin wonderful.

 

Doesn't count. You're not an accountant.

 

Gah, rumbled.

However, in my last place of gainful employment I had 2 namesakes. One
was the finance director, and the other was an accountant.

Must be from the numerate side of the family as I was crap at maffs.

A bunch of us had a "beerettes" night in the pub a while ago. A
normal sort of pub conversation, perhaps a little loud - punctuated
with sudden jerky movements and shouts of abuse and obscenity. Only
in the presence of locals of course, and quite inaudible to the ladies
of the Church meeting in the Snug.

Probably. BASTID! FECK! Another half of mild, old boy?

We had a hoot, and nobody seemed to be offended. Actuially, no bugger
seemed to notice ;-)
