Back to blogging. Did anyone miss me?

Hi everybody going try this blogging lark again. I have not been blogging for two reasons.  One is that I had an op for Carpal Tunnel and had big awkward bandage on my hand for weeks.  Then could not really use hand properly for another few weeks.

Then when I that all was ok my lap top decided to sit down. It is only a few months old but these things happen and now after a few more weeks I am back on track.

Was just reading about some of the younger generation and their futile quest to secure employment.  They say that they are very down and out about it and are willing to try any job within reason but I think times have changed so much in the past few years that people looking for employment back in the old days......the seventies and eighties...were really and truly prepared to chance any job.  People now are a lot better off in all kinds of ways.  Everything is better and they are prepared to take employment anywhere "within reason or on their terms".

I personally told seven young people between ages of 20 and 28, all unemployed and some with college courses and qualifications behind them, all about the massive job expo that was held in RDS recently.  To my knowledge not one of them bothered getting up and going to even see what was on offer.  These people complain and moan about not have employment or money every single day.  Are they really and truly that bothered about securing a job or a career or do they have things too handy already.
