feel like my life isn't moving forward as quickly as I'd like it to *sighs* nothing is coming of a transfer within my current job and I so want to move soon (am getting itchy feet & impatient!) I don't really want to leave my current job because I feel I could do well in it...I don't want to move & end up with NO job nor do I want to move & have a job that I don't particularly like. I know my job well, inside out in fact & would LOVE to progress with it...just so badly want to be with my boyfriend right now it is making me feel sad

*sighs* I dunno what to do, be patient and wait for progression in my current job or find a new job...

I wish I knew what was gonna happen with my life soon... I feel like I'm a hamster in a wheel - going nowhere fast!

oh Sandz..
well they do say that No news is good news...
hope you hear something soon..
sorry I aint helping much am I ...

Awwwwww I feel for you...Have a good chat at work and ask them how long is your transfer going to take, tell them that your finding things difficult. Just keep your eyes open for a job, its coming up to Christmas and you dont want to be out of work but also alot of places do take on Christmas staff..
I am sending you a hug

I don't particularly want to leave my job as I feel I can go far in it (talking management level) and they accept applications for fast track management in December (a course where they give you the much needed skills and training to become an Assistant Store Manager within time)...I also know that they are planning to build a ScrewFix store in Stoke (just do not know a time frame for this!) just wish I was living near my boyfriend doing coupley kinda things & getting on with my life...makes me wanna give up being with Jack and find someone near home to make it easy (and I don't want that at all!) *sighs*...

Sorry you are feeling so sad over it all. Have a chat at work and find out when you might be able to move with promotion. You have been so looking forward to it and would be a shame to give up on it now.

Even if I moved with the same level job I'd be quite happy just to be close to Jack & living with him etc would be brilliant & is what I'm waiting for really. I don't think my manager will know when Stoke On Trent will be getting their store built but I can always ask him...just don't feel all that positive at the moment. Want to curl up in a ball & give up...

If you are feeling negative then it can only be one of 2 things. You should be deciding what's more important - the job or Jack.

It sounds like you're already doing everything you can to make your life move in the direction you want it. Getting upset because of things you can't change won't make them change any faster.

I can understand you not wanting to leave your job, especially right now. You've worked hard to be where you are. You've got a good relationship but I expect you don't want that to be the only thing in your life - you want to be able to earn your own living, look after the family you may have one day, and keep your identity.

If it were me, I'd hang in there and keep looking for transfers or other jobs. If you & Jack are going to be together for ever, a wait now won't put him off. He's probably just as unhappy about it as you are, but it won't change how you feel about each other (and if it does, then it's good to know that before you burn your bridges.)

I hope you don't have to wait too much longer. Hugs.

Sandz, is not wanting to be nearer your boyfriend that is the main problem and the job promotion worries secondery, maybe Im wrong, it terrible when you have to make such decisions. At the end of the day you will get good sound advice on here but ultimately it is up to you how you proceed, best of luck.

Thanks people!!! just that time in the month where I get a bit down over things. I do want to be up near Jack and I do really want to move, but am terrified about starting another whole new job when I could progress really well in the one I have. I don't want to get into the cycle of bad job - leave it - start another - find out it is also a bad job - leave it - start another etc... when I already have a great job where I am (it's just not in the right part of the country lol!)

Helen, you always have wise words. Thank you. You've cheered me up a bit, he says he'll wait but that still doesn't stop me from feeling a little sad. I keep asking when Stoke On Trent is going to get a ScrewFix and just getting told that the site is cancelled for the moment, I have a huge feeling that it is going to progress next year and be one of the stores to be opened in 2009. I do hope so anyway.

I want to do well, get up to management level and feel like I've got a good stable job. As well as having a loving, devoted boyfriend by my side. It's just a waiting game really and I'm not patient or good at waiting, everything had to happen yesterday with me lol!!!

I do feel a tad more positive today, things WILL happen...just in time...I always said I'd probably move when we'd been together a year or so...that gives me until March next year! Our ScrewFix will be a year old at the end of March so hopefully they'll start opening more stores at the beginning of next year! I know that there is a plan to open a Stoke On Trent ScrewFix, just nobody knows when! I think I'll wait until the new year to pester some people again about it lol
