A pink slip

A pink slip

I'm assuming your not referring to an item of womens clothing?

Close enough, even if wrong culture...

Three of four of my team,
Are due to get the boot.
I have to say it's mean,
But my opinion's moot.
I really hate job hunting,
It drives me out of my tree.
But it looks like I'm confronting,
My impending redundancy.

Dismissal

Dismissal

Are you implying I misbehaved! I'm shocked you could possibly think that of me! (he he he!).

No, this time around, I wasn't caught in flagrante delicto, so to speak, they got me before I could do anything proactively malfeasant!

Unemployment.

Also a regular cycle in my life.

Outdated's beard?


I'm sorry, I'll stop now. I just had to do it.

A resume, application, interview. I will keep throwing job terms around until one sticks

It's really no work to do this.
But always the 'hard decision'.
It often inverts your life,
When superiors act with derision.
Back to the market again,
To contort to a new position.

Layoffs.

I wouldn't mind if the benefits were enough to actually live on! But with politicians claiming you can live on 30p a day

Layoffs.

Too late too late, it was the cry! The ice-cream van has just gone by!

After rent is paid I've got Au$400/week play money. That's not a lot by today's standards but it's comfortable.

Over here, I wouldn't get close to covering the rent on it's own. Food and clothing I can forego, but my self-medication would suffer! There are limits to what a chap can take, dontcha know!

(I mean, the thought of being sober! The horror! The horror! )

I get mine legally through a clinic now, and it's on the government subsidised list. With my pension card I pay half price which works out to be about the same as the Adelaide street price, but then I get my Medicare rebate too.

I stick to the illegal route, the UK's so called legalisation of cannabis for medical use was a scam, yes, it's legal, but so many restrictions on doctors in the National Health Service that literally only a handful of patients have managed to get a prescription. It's essentially become a profit making business with private clinics managing thousands of patients. And they charge quite a lot (mandatory monthly review costs enough on it's own).
So I can get cheaper, better quality, far better choice, and not have to pay to listen to some doc who knows less than I do about it. But for those having to resort to the street, it's a shite state of affairs.
Sorry, getting off-topic...

A determination or choice.

Hold on, is this for mine? Crap! I didn't use the winner emojie, but I thought I'd made it clear you got it with "pink slip"?
Sorry, my heads all over the place today trying to process change of pace in life, 'pologies! @1ForAll is

It's not really that much different here, except I only need a review every 6 months. If I didn't have the pension card I would be buying off the street too, I can't afford to just throw money away. It would be less insulting if it was Australian home grown weed, but no, we import it from Canada of all places.

At least I'm consistent! Consistently inconsistent!

I'll now go google what does pink slip mean, never heard about it.

Okay, I just googled and it's an informal, North American saying. Bruh.
