His Mum mate,she needs 24 hour care.His Dad and his brother are in Leeds and his ex wife and daughter are in Southampton.Funeral 11 am and none will be there.Very sad and it's going to be a long day.It's not that family members don't want to be there it's just timing.I only found out today at 1 pm that it would be tomorrow.No direct flights this time of year very sad indeed.

No mate I am sorting his belongings out on a daily basis.Tomorrow is a no go, funeral only and a few drinks with his other mates His Dad is giving me written power of attorney which then needs to be translated by a Greek lawyer and given to the police for me to do anything.It's a right mess.Typical Greek Landlord saying that is mine and this is mine FFS.

Update.

It didn't work out in that place so I left. It turns out I was lied too, the job itself didn't even really exist. I thought it was fishy on the first day when I was not asked to bring any documents with me to get me registered tax wise, I assumed they'd perhaps forgot and would do as the week went on. Tuesday afternoon I found out they were actually registering us as self-employed, from there I thought "no way I wasn't told any of this".

Man who interviewed me whilst he was a nice chap wasn't straight with me and didn't tell me exactly what the role was. From there my inner warning alarm was going off like mad.

Went in yesterday morning to give it one last chance to convince me it was was worth sticking with. Got there and couldn't even get in the office, you needed a fob to unlock the door and no one was even in the office to let me in at start time. Had to ask the girl downstairs on reception to let me in so I could wait. I waited for about half an hour and a few people skulked in, not managers, and said if no one in charge had even turned in they weren't going to even log on and do anything. From that moment I just decided "this has all been a huge waste of time, it's not even a real job. I'm not an official employee and the people running the place, my supposed superiors, aren't even turning up. I'm out of here." Picked my coat up and just left.

Shame because I was very hopeful but it's a lesson learnt I guess. Demand to know more in interviews about the company and the specifics of your job role because people will deliberately leave things out. Had I known what I came to know in the beginning I wouldn't have wasted a few days of my time.

Back to square one but trying to stay upbeat about it because I don't feel like I've done anything wrong. Not like I flamed out because I was out of my depth and left embarrassed, I left because it wasn't what I was told I'd be signing up for. Just got to find something else, hopefully soon.
 
Hi Guy's I'm a 46 year old bloke, that is actually a Qualified Mental Health Nurse. Last July I was on a night shift, staffing levels was pretty awful on the night. A patient (who was there for assessment and later assessed as not being mentally ill) attacked me, He jumped from behind and tried to strangle me from behind. Luckily one of my colleges managed to get to me in time. Since then I have suffered with PTSD, depression and anxiety. I've just finished a trauma stabilisation course and now am on a waiting list for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. I've been off sick more or less since it happened. I am worried about everything especially on if I can ever go back to being a Nurse. Really struggling at the moment.
