Another pointless thread

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Did Craven Cameras have anything interesting in HG?

Been a sh*t day . Been put under notice my post is being made redundant. If nothing comes up, then it's goodbye and thank you come 30 June. Severance is stat only, so I'll get the princely sum of £5400

In my general work area, which is property related, not a lot of options for a generalist like me, and in current climate, even less.

Sorry, bit heavy for a pointless thread but apt as well, no point in worrying. No kids and no mortgage, so could be a lot lot worse

No.

I did look but the boss said "no" to a new body...

See you all Friday.

Steve,

Sorry to hear your bad news. I think many of us are waiting those dreadful meetings with managment)

Still at least you will be free in the summer when you can make the most of the good weather!

Chin up, old chap

Snow in Edinburgh today. Thought it might come back.

Sorry to hear about that Steve. I was made redundant a couple of times, so I know the sinking feeling you get. I was lucky in both cases, before the dreaded day I was offered jobs in other departments.

Hope things work out for you,

Isn't it strange, how the most deserving of getting the bullet (figuratively speaking, of course), are those so-called "Managers" who are handing out the redundancy notices.
Regards

URGH - temps here are down but not that badly though we did have a fair amount of wind overnight [ heard that between the coughing attacks ]

Better not get any more snow here I'm getting stir crazy as it is - snow would just finish me off

Sorry to hear your news Steve, it has happened to me twice.

Snowing hear at the moment

Sorry to hear your news Steve. Not much redundancy - but as you say you don't have kids or a mortgage to worry about.

My husband is out of a contract soon. If his company don't find him a new one he will be sitting at home. But at least he will still be paid, and I doubt they will sack him even if he never gets a new contract since he is too expensive to sack under Dutch redundancy rules.
Meanwhile he is back in France yet again.

The sun has gone. It is raining and windy here today.

Is "here" at the coast?
Does not matter now it is snowing here.

No currently languishing in County Durham's equivalent to the North Pole

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. At bit of a low point last night when I made that post, as I think you may have noticed. Forum is very thinly populated at 3am UK time - just Don on line and me (passing through).

But as I hit 55 19 days before I'm (probably) terminated, can collect my pension immediately Not a vast sum - but more than job seekers allowance, so no humiliating trips to the Job Centre to explain why you haven't found a post, or the 6 month reviews

Sadly, I'm a victim of the cuts to University funding ahead of the new fees set up. Funding holes have to be filled one way or another, and there is always a human cost

And before anyone asks, my lens and body collections are NOT for sale



Steve

...and here we are buttering you up.
