That Was The Year That Was: October

It’s October, so we’re going to have to stop referring to Mr TLC’s gap year. I think I’d worked out that he wasn’t going back to work several months earlier than this. He looked at the adverts in the paper, in a kind of half-hearted way, but a new job was going to mean a return to shift work.

Then I overheard him talking to Doug Next Door. Doug Next Door asked Mr TLC if he has retired. There was a long pause before Mr TLC said “I think so.”

So that’s sorted then.

Just as well really, they don’t even have a section for engineering jobs in the paper any more. Sign of the times you know.
