New job… In February 2017 a new manager joined the team I was a senior social worker in. They came with a bad reputation. I was in a very specialist role, had contributed to the development of new legislation (it has just received Government ascent). Long story short, and after a long period of bullying I decided to move to another team.

I'd been asking a senior manager colleague at the local authority close to where we live, who I've known for years, to let me know if anything comes up there. My specialist role had a long term employee in post, and I'd given up on getting that same post.

A job came up in the new local authority, I applied, and got the job (senior practice leader). I started 3 weeks ago. After 2 weeks in post, I was informed that the person in my dream job was retiring, and it was going to be advertised internally. Long story short, I applied, was interviewed, and got the job!. I took a chance, and somehow it has paid off. I'm super happy about it! I'll now get a chance ti impliment the legislation I contributed to where I work.

@Jett129:

Having had the pleasure of living in a roach infested apartment in NYC,cockroaches are my least favorite insect. At least they don’t bite you. I guess.

But they’re obnoxious and come from anywhere and everywhere, even if your apartment is immaculate! Makes me feel like a dirt ball. Thanks next door building demolition for displacing the critters and rehoming them in my building [emoji52]

Currently in Bologna,Italy on vacation. Took the Lamborghini factory/assembly line tour today. Talk about attention to detail. No wonder they cost so much. Thought about IH when we passed the station where the women were hand sewing leather pieces for the seats and other parts of the interior. Surprised to hear that Japan is their 3rd biggest market,behind the US and Germany.

@Jett129 Sounds like a cool tour

I found this doing a google search of Lamborghini and man, this thing is amazing. I don't know if it's real, or a concept car, or some photoshop job but this would be awesome to ride around in…..minus the Tron logo

Guy at work did that tape to his subaru. Über stupid looking during the day but cool at night.

Did you get any pics. The history/beginning of Lamborghini is fascinating.

Absolutely no cameras or cell phones allowed on the tour, everything had to be checked. Didn’t take any pictures in the museum part, but my wife did. Also visited Ferrari,where the people were tripping over you to take selfies with the cars. Enjoyed Lamborghini much more,and the history is quite fascinating. The cars are insanely cool. They were really hyping their new SUV,which you can have for a starting price of 167,000 euros.
