The money (or the drugs) must be good, why would you stay there? Why wouldn't you go out into the world and find an interesting job?

Hi everyone



as the place am working at is up for sale and it could sell quick or may take 2 years am wondering wether the owner will likely last 2 years there.



wondering because she’s getting a bit tired and cranky like our old local bingo leaders were at the end and every little thing gets to her now.



am also feeling same and tired and had enough and want to do something else.



sometimes don’t feel appreciated as well and she should have put the shop up for sale sooner or tried harder to sell it the first time she tried in 2017.



do you’s think she will last 2 years before she’s as cranky as our old bingo leaders or worse or will it likely happen before then.



how long will you’s give it before she’s as cranky as our old bingo leaders were.



as sad as it is am thinking she’s done right thing as sometimes you got to make a tough decision that it’s time.



am feeling that it’s time and when the new owners take over already made the decision that won’t be staying long if at all when they take over but trying to wait until the old owner is out.



sometimes not all am feeling unappreciated and that may not be able to wait but trying to do right thing and wait to get out and do something else.
That hurt my brain to read.

I don't even know what the actual question is here, it feels like your just repeating your original post...again....and again.....and again like in your other threads.

You keep saying you've had enough and want to do something else. Then go do it, we can't help you with that.

Only you can change your life, nobody is just going to hand you another job because you don't like the one your in anymore. You've got to put yourself out there and apply.

This is a car car forum, not a specialist doctor's waiting room.

Been doing these type of questions here and on the Ford Forum ( and others ?) for at least 12 years.
I was naive enough to reply to a 'how do I find friends' question by suggesting he gets a dog.
That would be one instant friend, which would lead to meeting other dog owning people who he may get along with.
Have you got that dog yet, shonky12 ?

Never takes any suggestions, and just keeps thinking of more pointless questions.
Don't be sucked in by replying ........... you are wasting your precious electrons.
Mate reminds me of the Keating observation about Canberra, that if you wanted a friend to buy a dog:).

I am an older person .............. what subject were we writing about ?
Ohh, yes ......... back in the olden days, people used to work, slaving in the fields growing their cotton and wheat, for a small bowl of rice per day, if we were lucky.
And we had to get up in the morning, just before we went to bed, to sweep the chimney, before lighting the fire with one match and a bucket of wet logs.
What did the Russians and Chinese ever do for us ? The current generation of workers who are in their 30s/40s/50s just would not understand,.
Oopps, I've gone off track again .......... must remember what this thread is all about.
Was it about a dog ?
Aayy lad!

hi

if you got a 80 year old lady whos the mother of the owner of the place that am working at seems to want you straight away and you cant attend to it straight away because you are tied up doing your standard jobs you have to do.

she is getting very forgetful and mean very forgetful do you guys think that would have anything to do with it with her having good and bad days at remembering things or is it likely because thats how her generation used to work.

being that shes 80 and forgetful her generation probably used to work different than the current generation of workers who are in their 30s/40s/50s.

our generation work different to how hers used to work in the olden days and wondered if thats more why or because of her getting more forgetful and having good and bad days and sometimes not even remembering how to turn a simple switch on or off.


she is very forgetful in her old age but is independent at moment so wondering if its because of that or if its how her generation used to work and thats how she expects the gen x and gen y to work as well and even boomers.

the whole family including me knows her condition and that she is still able to do most things.

obviously it will get worse but atleast at moment shes able to do most things, have asked the sister of the owner of that place on numerous times and she thinks that because shes forgetful in her old age and that she has good and bad days and that some days she is like that and sometimes doesnt remember someones there.

it seems to be happening a lot at moment and am just tired of it to tell truth.

how many years will yous give it before its so bad.

had a look on internet and what she does could be early clues but could be wrong too
You mention the word ‘Forgetful’ six times! Who’s forgetful?

Just seeing his name hurts my head.

I vote for the thread to be locked...Are you going to 2nd it?

From memory he was from Wallaroo/Kadina/Moonta area...Maybe the mine or the sea breeze has gotten to him

I dunno I wanna see how many times he can repeat the same question in one thread, also how many times he reports me because he doesn't like my responses.
