I've now worked my full 3 months probation period. Woo hoo! That means i'm now on 3 months notice as apposed to 1 week.
It's not that I thought that there was a chance that i'd get the sack. I do a good job. It's just not a great time to me moving around in the market at the moment, Insurance seems to have weathered most things to do with the current financial climate (with the exception of AIG) relatively well but you never know about possible redundancies etc.
Saying that, by all accounts insurance rates are due to go up next near so the future's actually looking rosy.
My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)

He, he, he...
Our pay slips have just been handed round so I took a look at how much i'll be getting on my first pay day (Monday). He, he, he!
The last month has been tough as i'd used up too many holidays up at the last place (pro-rata) so they took £400 off my final months salary. Coupled with that I also had to go to another wedding (2 nights in a hotel) plus I had the trip to Spain (which didn't turn out to be that expensive but it all adds up).
Anyway, he, he, he! This month i've been given an extra £1,200!!!! It should reduce next month as there are no pension contributions this month but he, he, he!
I will be a good boy and pay off a load of credit card debt, but as a special treat, i've told April she can buy a chest of drawers with some of it.
Credit Crunch? My arse!

Avoiding the credit crunch: Become a comdedian
I had an e-mail from the theatre where Eddie Izzard performing his London gigs yesterday and it mentioned that you could pre-book tickets now to avoid the masses and get in there first. Luckily he was in London on Ben's birthday weekend so I checked prices and e-mailed round to see who would be interested.
£60!
Other than 'because he can' I don't know how he can justify £60. We saw him earlier in the year and he was funny, but not £60 worth of funy. I looked into going to see Steve Coogan a while back too and he was £50+.
Obviously comedy is one of the few things to avoid the credit crunch.
