Indeed not but that is the other side of London to Bow isn't it now.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I had my "Stage 1" formal redundancy meeting this morning.

Option 1. Move to the "new" office 110 miles away.  noooo:
Option 2. Move to another part of the company.  noooo:
Option 3. Take the redundancy cash and spend it on fine wine, women and song  happy088

No dates confirmed yet, but I'll hazard a guess that it is likely to be before Christmas. If I can get out at the end of July and then be re-employed on a contractor basis (with the pay scale to suit  eyes:) then all the better. There are so many things I do (like Tel did) that aren't documented and aren't in my job description, that when it all goes elsewhere, there are likely to be so many problems that they will happily do so. Or else they'll be fu(ked.

Good luck then.

Thanks Snoops. A HUGE box of Bonios if it comes off. And I'll even get Nick some Hob Nobs for Macca to chew on, next time he visits. This will be "plain" chocolate, courtesy of too much Guinness over last weekend...
