I got the contract – highly suitable on both sides. But had to turn it down. Gutted as it’s been a very long time since my last contract. Surviving on a few hundred furlough each month and less before, is a strain on the nerves.
The maniac decisions to lift restrictions in the UK too soon were a factor in having to turn down the offer. As I would have had to be in the UK fulltime in the working week. Even vaccinated it’s going to be highly risky August-September. I would have had to start next week. Unnecessary deaths are definitely going to be caused by this UK precipitation to remove restrictions too soon
Employer started being an idiot trying to say, after the contract was offered and accepted, I couldn’t go home weekends (on my own time) except very limitedly. They’d taken some poor or irrelevant advice in another case and wanting to apply incorrect restrictions.
I had Pfizer upset stomach and inflamed lymph glands, was melting days in 32 degrees, being messed about here by a local on something needing to sort in order to depart, had always told them my track record is fulltime in the UK but I do return weekends from the start. Originally I’d refused to apply until that was accepted as OK by employer, when I’d detected some unease of the agent when he’d approached me.
Looking at the disease danger in the UK as well, I didn’t have the energy to set them right when they started this rubbish. Gutted I had to turn it down. Glad not to be forced to be in UK August-September though while the infection rips through the population killing vulnerable people. Due to having so many young unvaccinated people to give it life and development.
