well today it happened. Redundancy. Bollocks.
They say there is an appeals process but none of the 16 people made redundant a few weeks back were successful, just a legality.

Anyone know of any Mechanical Design Engineer jobs going in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire?


Then today my little cat went back to the vet and had more expensive injections and a small op to drain an abscess leaving her pristine white coat looking like her throats been cut. She might need to go into vet hospital if she doesn't perk up tonight.





So all in all a really shitty day. Come on euro millions.
I apologise in advance if I'm grouchy or absent from these parts for a bit.

 

sorry to hear that

Out of interest when you say mechanical engineer, do ou mean design engineer? Building Services?

 

Cheers Cossiemodo,
Well I've done Optical / mechanical in the film post production sense, Mechanical design with food process eqpt, and just recently electro mechanical in vibration control for which i've just had the money-munch push from.
Mainly 3D CAD for mechanical as in Inventor, Solidworks, Pro-E etc. Just hope there's something out there in these troubled times.

Fingers crossed for little Sophie to pull through as well.

 

My mams cat had huge one on his ear, a few years ago. Pulled through no worrys.

 

Tough times mate, sorry to hear that. Hope something turns up. My old man does CAD for a living and he says he's never been so busy. He does a lot of freelance work for a company that works out of Canary Wharf, have you thought about looking more towards London for some work? Bit of a bitch to commute obviously but might be worth a shot.

 

I hadn't Matt16v2 but if needs must etc. Got any contacts / leads / email addresses? PM me if you have them please.

Commuting isn't that much of an arse as I can be in Kings Cross in 50 mins from the station a mile away.

 

I tell you what mate, i'll email my old man on Monday and i'll drop you a PM and let you know what he says.

 

Thanks Matt16v2 - much appreciated.

 

Please, Matt lol

 

Thanks Matt

 

Aw!

Give the moggy a patt on the heed for me

 

Little white puss Sophie has been eating well and drinking as well this last 2 days, so fingers crossed, she gets the green light at the vets tomorrow and not have to go into to 'animal hospital'.

 

All the best mate. Glad things are picking up for the Cat, and I hope the same can be said for you soon enough.

Benni.

 

I hope it all works out for ya fella. Poor little cat, she doesn't look too happy.

 

yea i'm in about the same boat with work but our cats "touch wood" are bouncing around still so hope your moggy keep's getting better

 

any good?

Hmm, not bad Dan, I'm going to trawl through Just Engineers tomorrow night as that'll take a whole night!

Thanks for the words of encouragement people

 

Puss went back to the vets tonight. Her temperature is down from 40.1 back to normal 38.5, the wound is clearing up nicely she has re-hydrated and gained weight. No more vet visits.
