Default Irony

Have faced redundancy in the face for the whole month of March.

Today an email arrived from the head office. It stated this year there will be no pay rises.

Reason given: To save jobs.

I've not had a pay rise now for the past 4 years.

Should have been given notice today but it's been put back another week.

And if you can captain one of the sides in the Cricket World Cup final this week that should help the stress levels too.

I'm at work today until 12 and then that's me on gardening leave until someone can decide if I have a job or not. Removal packers are in the house now. House move tomorrow.

I actually rather hope I wont be back in work but have a feeling I will be. Would much prefer to take the redundancy and shove two fingers up and find something with better.

I managed to get the divorce out the way previously so that's one stress less. Marriage? Er no. Love Foxy to bits but not going down that road again.

Baby? I think that would tip me over the edge.
