Now this day is really, *really* dragging

I am fading fast here.
First day in the office for ages and was alright at first.
Oh well, it will all be done for today soon and only a freezing commute home before the PJs come out again.

it's a wonderful winterval image, mr and mrs badgers at home in their pjs
 
It's 8:40 and I've been here an hour but there is no-one else here at all - there's usually at least a couple of other people in by now :hmm:
 
Tuesday is the graveyard day and the only thing keeping my spirits up is Bill Bailey (cheers BiddlyBee x) tomorrow night :)

Arrived to the news that we have just made another member of staff redundant yesterday. She was here when I started but works in a different cost code to me and it seems was done on a 'first in, first out basis' as all of that team pretty much do the same jobs. Pretty bleak in the office today and looking at the potential business we have is nowhere near enough to keep 50% of us employed, but that position has not really changed for sometime now.

Bleh...

With the lack of jobs in the market right now I am considering setting up my own 'Junior Dads Army' in readiness for dealing with civil unrest in our once great nation :)
 
just got up:) yet another dull meeting, not much enlivened by the festive treats afterwards, had some wine and stilted conversation before fucking off at about 9.45, and getting in at 10.30, shorter day today:)
 
1 hour and 45 minutes I've been sat here on my own - now a couple of others have turned up - wondered what was going on for a while

MD officially announced this news just now.

Fair play to the fellow, he has doubled her redundancy pay out of his own pocket and paid for a CV company to get her set up with a professional résumé.

Also he has offered her desk space and use of the office facilities for as long as she needs/wants to help with her job hunting.

Very generous of him (not being sarky - it really is).

nice, but a difficult time for her to get another gig, I'd guess

For a cantankerous old drunk he is a good egg really!

With the feeling of inevitability that we are all doomed (negative but realistic I feel) I am almost tempted to see what is on offer if I volunteered. Would be nice to have a few months cash as a buffer to try and get myself a new job, or at least work out what the fuck to do with myself....

No harm in seeing what is on offer - where I am we were offered voluntary redundancy a year or so ago - I looked into - fair enough package cash wise but decided not to do it - glad I made that choice right now.

Junior Dads Army is really just a front..

We will be selling ration books on the black market, planning a political coup, feasting on tins of SPAM and snorting lines of powdered egg :)

Had a bad nights sleep and my legs are dodgy as fuck today so I am not having a very good time.

Maybe a cup of tea will help
