Teetering on the edge of insanity


« on: December 18, 2019, 02:11:41 PM »

Well after a horrendous two years with a new manager I finally handed my notice in, 19 years in the same job and not even an offer to keep me.
I start a new job on the 20 Jan 2020 as a mast climber service engineer and hopefully move to south wales as soon as we can (closer to Tony tho god knows why)
Few logistical problems to get over ie moving a 1 tonne Milling machine, but as its much better pay I hope to get a company in to sort it.

Still will keep the trike (she a member of the family now) and stay on here.

Merry Christmas to all Monkeys Here's to a great New Year.

Best wishes for the new job and the move.
You might find  your house moving company will move the mill. Ours was happy to take all my gear plus three bikes and the trike.

Normally the removal company charges by the weight and volume?  I had an 18 ton lowlowder truck which made it easier 👍🎅

We were supposed to have a removal truck plus a small low loader for the lathe, anvils, bikes, trike etc, but the company had just gotten the biggest removal truck I have ever seen. Very fancy lift/lower hydraulics on all three axles (and they needed it  Grin ). They had to plan the route carefully and it's size, did caused a few problems in the village.

Bit of an upheaval but you're doing the right thing, wish I'd made the move when we got a rotten new 'manager' !
