At least you know where you stand with a prostitute. Can't trust a bloody politician...

Do you have to pay extra to stand with a prostitute???

Wish me luck!!

Good Luck Toaster! Best wishes to you and your family A mixture of crappy and wonderful news in your opening post - crap about the slow rehab and job situation but great to hear about bubs #2!


And yes, my cats are Burmese - I am utterly addicted to the precious wee poppets - presently have three (chocolate, blue, and ebony mandalay)

Sorry to hear that Toaster, hope it all gets favourably sorted.

Dunno about the $400/hr lawyer though - I once paid one of them around a grand pretty much to type up a letter the content of which I substantially provided... The circumstance was resolved in a manner I found to be acceptable however I seriously wonder if I coulda done just as well myself and saved the $$$.

But I guess sometimes it might pay to have a mean looking attack dog with really sharp teeth and a good growl, even if you have to tell them when to bark and bite.

Good luck, Toaster, and I hope common sense prevails. It'll work out fine, mate. Cheers

As some will know I have been recovering from a motorcycle crash (freak accident with goat/sheep running into my path) that left me with multiple injuries... the worst of which is a head injury which has left me off work since June.

Its my third major concussion over the years (1st hit head on rock, then hit in head with bat... don't ask!), so rehab is slow given it was also a good whack to the head causing me no end of memory problem amongst other issues.

The downside to the consequences of the crash is that my employer is getting impatient with the return to work rehabilitation process etc and is looking to "retire" me on medical grounds - which is an easy "out" for them.

With wife, child and another bubs on the way (due Feb 09) this is very bad news for us.

SO...... We have hired one of Auckland's best employment lawyers to assist in the meeting - this Friday. At nearly $400 an hour she better be good!

Wish me luck!!

I had mine in April and had 6 weeks off then B4 returning to work to light duties until last Thursday when I went back to hospital to have a plate put on my collarbone. They not too pleased with me havin another at least 2weeks off b4 returning to a further 5plus weeks of light duties.
You sound like a astute guy and working with the right people and will no wheather or not,to continue with your employ or just plain Fuck them up the bum hole for the bucks and take your skills elswwhere.....We dont realise how many employers want people like us and will welcome us in......Good luck.

Good luck bro, I know who it feels. I got the same treatment, after being told there was definitely a job there for me by the nurse manager (who has since left as he was porking the female staff that would let him, supposingly a devout christian and married---> TUI ADVERT) since the day of my accident. Missed ample opportunities while in the spinal unit to get some more help chasing a job. Hope your outcome is much better than mine. My contract makes it pointless to do what your doing so best of luck!!!

Sending positive thoughts your way, Toaster and hoping for a good result for you.
There is nothing quite like kicking a man when he is down...

[Mom]

Terrible situation to find yourself in, fancy having to fork out to a lawyer to keep your job through no fault of your own! Disgraceful!

Good luck Cam, I really hope things pan out the way you need them to. A medical retirement is the last thing you need on your resume.

Wonderful news about a new brother or sister for Mitch though!

Take care now!
