Sad Day

Off-topic
1

Well been a bit of an emotional day at work, after over seven years I have been made redundant and today has been my last day. Had a good curry for lunch and got a nice surprise a large card and quite a lot of Hein Gericke vouchers. Which is perfect as I need some new boots. I have to say that I will miss the people but not necessarily the company have a lot of fond memories.:crying:

Will be stopping at the Ace for a cuppa on the way home this evening, so if anyone wants to stop by I should be there from around 17:45.

I’m sure you’ll find something or doing something alot more interesting in the future.

After my redundancy I too a bit of a holiday. Works a treat! Took me 4 1/2 years to get back though.

Thanks for all the support peeps, had a great time at the Ace last night. Quite a lot of peeps there: Andyp, Chris, Tugs, M9 Mike, Peter, Ryan and others. Quite a laugh actually.

Planning on taking a little break from the daily grind, catch up on some reading, a couple of long weekends away. Some job hunting. So for the time being I will be a Lady of Leisure as Viagra pointed out. :smiley:

Today is for me, tomorrow I shall catch up on all the emails that I have outstanding work has kept me extremely busy right up to the end.

Steve, PM sent. Shall be popping out shortly, but send me a txt for a meet point.

Definitely, had a lot of fun, made a lot of mistakes but nothing catastrophic. Learnt a huge amount, and next time probably won’t be spending as much time nearly riding into Kirsty’s bum. Shame :smiley:
