Northampton
So, I'm being sent to Northampton for 3 nights, (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) for a 'training course', being put up in a hotel, etc.
Now then, I know of no other way to get through 3 nights surrounded by people I dont know, other than to drag some of them out and get pissed.
So, where the hell is there to go in Northampton? I'll be staying the Moathouse Hotel near the station, thus, I dont want anything thats going to involve traveling.
Please take into account the nights that I will be there before you make any suggestions.
Now answer my question, fags.

1. I dont drive
2. I want to drink, as stated above, so even if I had a car I wouldnt be taking it.
Read, THINK, Respond, etc.

Yes , but you have a CRAP job with no PROSPECTS and a complete lack of a FUTURE.
Rids appears to be earning more than minimum wage as well.

You're actually wrong on all accounts.
I decided to go for and take this job because if 'My Plan' fails (and it shouldn't) then i have the back-up alternative plan of progressing within the Civil Service.
Hopefully i wont have to rely on that tho.
I really hope not anyway.
I am also paid a nice enough sum above minimum wage to be happy with my 'Monkey Work'.

Well, I'm earning precisely **** all at the moment, thanks to a complete bollocks up with my pay. Instead of the £1400 I was expected, I got, wait for it... £400.
I wouldnt exactly call flogging mobile phones a career though, I might change my mind on that if I make store manager within 2 years though.

Not at all.
They tell me what my job entails.
I do it.
It's not a question of being forced to do anything hard or unpleasent.
As strange as it sounds this is probably the best job i've ever had.

welcome to the sunny world of the civil servant, he has a lot of free days, free coffee, free smoking time, a huge weapon called bureaucracy to hide behind and soon he will believe he actually has a challenging job
30 years of self inflicted ignorance and then you will suicide probably.

Indeed.
Another good thing about working for the Government is that it is a 'solid' employer.
As such if i see out my contract but decide to change my alternative plan and move on the i'm going to have something decent on my C.V.
