    skilling up

    If you had 1 day/week actual productive work to do at the moment and the remainder making yourself "look busy" at your desk - what would you start skilling up on between now and Christmas

    Edit: and/or the inevitable contract termination?

      Survival Techqniues and the art of war and killing.

      Once the markets all collapse even more, we'll all be seeing mass riots and fights and rampage like never before. We need to erase our past to protect our future or it'll be in our own interest to destroy ourselves.

              For a moment there I though you wrote skinning up

              Yeah, do it!
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Dunno - if I knew I'd be doing it too. Only thing I'm honing at present is posting on here (and I'm not even doing that very well).

                    Take a year off backpacking around the world, pretending to be a student. By they time you get back the worst may have blown over.

                    Obviously on your CV when you get back, you say you've been working for some fictional company (they never check references if they even ask for them) doing exactly what you're doing now, so you've only a bit of minimal re-skilling to get back up to speed when you start looking for work again.

                    Worked for me in the past.

                    May be tempted to do it again soon if the market really is as bad as some are saying.
