Redundancy was the best thing that ever happened to me (at "werk" that is!)

This may only be a stay of execution.

Company has 3 months to get things right our our German masters will be demanding further bodies to be slung out.

[Nick]

English bodies and not German ones I spect.

No, I appear to have escaped this time. I'm sure I was on the original list, don't know why they changed their minds, may have something to do with my boss offering himself, but he is on secondment at the moment so I don't think they would have saved any money there. Can't see him staying too much longer now.

Never underestimate the power of the Lodge.

Boy at home for three days (another suspension from school). Me trying to work on project. Interrupted about every ten seconds with question about Tudor Explorers. Effing wet Grauniad reading psychotherpaist (for Boy) earlier. Summoned to meeting with Head tomorrow at 9. Bad news in the post.

Merry effing Christmas on the way.

ANd workmen outside for 2 days using bastard angle grinders.

I feel for you Nick.

Not in a groping way, I trust

Its even harder being the Pub Hound ~ not only do I have to listen to all the above but I get blames for all the farts too. Only Wenchy ever owns up and that's cos she goes red and can't hide it.
