"...you can't help but wonder if there is something/one watching out for you.. I wasn't going to go for a pint yesterday afternoon but thought what the hell, I'll have just one. Got chatting to a guy in my local I'd never seen before and he asked what I did for a living and when I told him I was an electrician he told me he was a builder and the sparky he uses at the moment was forever letting him down. He asked me what my rates were and said he had tons of work lined up for next year already. I then got invited to his firm's Xmas piss up on Friday night to meet his business partner with a _iew to drawing up a maintenance contract on an ongoing basis. And I wasn't going to go for a pint. Glad I did now. " The pub or socializing in general has always beaten the job centre for finding work hands down. So why don't the government close the job centres and open pubs with cheap beer?? | |||

"The pub or socializing in general has always beaten the job centre for finding work hands down. So why don't the government close the job centres and open pubs with cheap beer??" I tried telling my first wife that same thing but she wanted me in the house the moment I stopped working until the moment I left for work the next morning. One day I left and didn't go back. | |||

"" I do not believe in fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act"..G K Chesterton. So go to the party and I'm sure you will get the contract!!" It seems ot be a rubber stamp that I've got the contract as the guy they're using now is a council-employed electrician who moonlights on the quiet. I'm not questioning the ethics of them using him up until now as I know the business and know that when you need a good sparky they can be difficult to find at short notice. This guy is good but hard to get hold of and they now need someone they know will be there when needed. I'm a small business (started trading in Feb last year) so getting in with a busy builder is a passport to steady work. I also did a job for a new Estate Agent last week and he was so pleased with the work I did that he'll be giving my business card to all the people he buys and sells houses to. And then to top it all, I put in a quote for a rewire yesterday for £4k and it's just been accepted. Works starts in Feb 2013. All in all, it's been a great week. | |||

"Nice one , as long as we all wake up on the 22nd...... Big believer in fate me , you were meant to go the pub you just didn't realize it , what will really freak you out is if it all works out and you look back in a few years an think " where would I have been now if I hadn't gone the pub " ! " I know! It's happened before in the past where I turned down one job and was phoned later that day with a better one (before mobile phones) so if I hadn't been around to recieve that call I'd have missed out on a much better job. My instincts are rarely wrong and I've learned to trust them over the years. | |||

If things go aswell as you hope you won't need this, but if work slows down at all or you can see it slowing down in the future, have a look/google at a Breakfast Club called BNI (Business Network International), I know a few sparky's and plumbers whom joined this organisiation and it gave them regular work. If you want to know more, just PM me and I'll happily update you as to how it works. Best of Luck Mark | |||

Best of Luck Mark" I've had a look at BNI already and the reason I didn't join it is because it asks you to attend every Friday morning at 7am and I just can't do Fridays at the moment (we have an 11m old littleun and she doesn't go to nursery full time yet), but it's something I'll keep on the back burner until both our kids are in full time school. Thanks for the heads up though. | |||

A seperate thought is there are other Breakfast meeting clubs which do the same as BNI but don't have the same rules about attendance though you do only get out of it what you put in. Best of luck anyway. | |||

"Well done Wishy! I can't help thinking you have skirted around the most important issue though. The Christmas party did you drill anyone? Was there a photocopier? More info please." Haven't been to it yet, it's on Friday ya loon!! And I think it'll be full of pissed up paddies so I'm going to take three shovels with me and them to take their pick. That'll fuck 'em for sure, for sure. | |||
