the stress of driving over 750 miles in five days and being resposible for about 60,000 pounds of work each week was to much,,,,,plus to break even i need to be doing about 110,ooo a week,,,,,

so i thought a change was as good as a rest........so of i went in too the unknown , and found my self a job as a Product Advisor in the energy sector,,,,,,loft insulation and cavity wall,,stuff.......well the BIG mistake was that the job didn`t tell me was that i was too generate my own work via DOOR Knocking and Leaflet drops,,,,this work is just sole distroying big time.....NO ONE buys anything from the door step anymore,but my boss thinks it the future,,,,,,Fucking knob,,,,,,,i keep saying to him lets just advertise like everyone else....but ooooo know....Bob just get out there and Knock those doors....................Shit me , im just one or two days from getting a job as a pot washer,,,in the local cafe........

i carn`t belive my hole carrier is just slipping away from me,,,,,,,,Pants....Pants......phew,,,well rant over and back to looking for ANOTHER Job,,,,,,,,,

Can you not go back to the old job?
Or maybe as a slightly lower rate with less stress?

its a self employed job,and if you fucked up you had to pay the full cost of a new window or door,,,,so you had to be rite every time,,,,that means doing 100 /130 frames a week with no mismeasures,,,,,,hence the stress of the job...

but the pay did reflect that,,,,thing is now there is not as much work about local so you have to travel more to do the same amount............and its all for less money,,,,, :-(

its just one of those jobs that lets say 10 yrs ago was a very well paid job,,,,,and now its not so good,,,,,the whole indrustry is slow....no one is spending the money the same,,,and most of the companies that offered finance , find it hard to sorce the finance for the customer.....banks don`t lend any ware near the same amount of money,,as there use too....
