  So I'd like to change that ambivalence bit to "and work can fuck right off", ta.

Found out that I'll be going in the latest round of redundancies.

I've survived six of them, so I guess that's not too bad for someone in my profession and in this economy.

I've had better days.

  I trust after your length of service they'll be looking after you well financially and helping you to transition. Still never as good as the continuity of a job that you want to keep, I know, but hopefully six months down the line you'll see this as something good. (I know thatf riends who have gone through this have taken away more +ves than -ves, eventually). Goes without saying that you know where I am for the legal side of things x

- Been through this several times myself, it's not great.
  
  I'm not sure who you work for, but if they're anything like Atkins then I pity you. The last project that I worked on the design consultants were Atkins and the designers there were treated awfully - seemed like they were put through the mill every other week with redundancy rounds.
  
  How long have you been with them? Are you due a nice payout? The way that they will work it, is that they will give you a time frame after which you will not be needed any longer. But they won't give you an exact date because they know that it will be harder for you to get a new job and collect your redundancy payout.
  
  I'm not sure what your area of expertise is, but have you thought about getting on board with cross rail 2 or the northern line extension? Guessing that you'd have architectural finishes experience, or maybe services installation?
  
  LOLpop @marckee | 19 Feb '13, 09:50 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Yeah, Crossrail 2, NLE and HS2 would be the areas I'm looking at.
    
    I have more than finishes experience - I am a Project Architect/Lead Consultant. I know engineers (especially M&E ones ;)) seem to think that all architects do is pick the paint colours and the carpets, but it's a lot more involved than that.
    
    I should have a fairly lenghty notice period that that'll give me time to get everything together. I think I'll be okay.
    
    marckee @LOLpop | 19 Feb '13, 14:01 | X | ^ This | Reply
    - Ah right, so you lead design teams then.
      
      Blimey that's a fair bit of responsibility!
      
      Well good luck anyway, there's a fair bit coming off so I'm sure you'll be fine. I have just taken a role managing the architectural finishes (operationally) on the Victoria station upgrade. Well, obviously the finishes stage is a long way off, but that's what the interview was for. I'll be working on the enabling works to begin with.

    Oh, PEOPLE WHO talk about their dreams......
    When my alarm went off today, I was in the middle of a very vivid dream in which I was preparing to go to a team away-day at a spa. When I got out of bed I was digging out my bikini and starting to pack a bag before I realised it was all a dream, and even then I was a bit unsure travelling in to the office on the tube in my suit whether or not I had made a terrible mistake. I'm still not sure. WHERE IS EVERYONE?

        but she was the one I was concerned about a little. I think her landlord is just being a dick (she's moving out before the end of her lease but has found a replacement) and the agency are also total douchebags so they might be lying about her never ringing back.

        I dunno, I know your rats are top blokes and all but it seems to me that traditionally hedgehogs would be on the side of Good, along with fieldmice and shrews, whereas rats would be on the side of Evil with ferrets and foxes.

        hedgehogs are idiots though
        
        as as for mice, before my rats eat their food they hide some of it by the skirting board for the mouse. If that's not a sign of goodness I don't know what is. I hate that mouse, I keep having nightmares he moves with us in some boxes.

        Like I say
        
        your rats are top blokes, the exception that proves the rule perhaps. But in the realm of mythical warfare between woodland creatures, I would expect them to be on the opposite side to a hedgehog.

Two colleagues were off ill yesterday, so work was hell.

Now they're back in, like the Walking Dead, so work will still be shitty and I'll probably be infected. Just before a holiday. Don't want to be here at all. And I have so little money until a week on Friday.

Got a really dry tickly cough

i feel great today!

and i felt mildly depressed on sunday evening, a roller coaster of emotions. I think my moods are getting more erratic in my old age.

I caught up with BLANDINGS on iplayer yesterday - i just watched one of them, but it was excellent.

Think i might start making music again, i enjoyed doing that dis one minute sound cloud challenge.
the sun is shining - its all good.
whoop!

Ugh just woke up on my mates sofa

Drank a shit load of gin and went out and danced then came back and watched hitchhikers guide. Pretty sure we demolished a pack of 24 crisps and now I don't know where he is. I want breakfast. God, I love half terms.

Made a youtube playlist of cool electronic music and sent it round the office.

Have a rush job that needed to be ordered about 8 weeks ago starting today, which is nice. The pressure, I don't need. The work's interesting too...

Nice night in tonight, probably building a furniture.

Predictably, just about everyone else is now fawning over the infant.

Meanwhile, her two slightly older children are running up and down the office

I got a puncture on my Brompton this morning

It even made that classic *PTTHT->HISS->BOOM->FAPFAPFAP* sound like in the movies. I was 5 minutes from my favourite bike shop but had to wait 30 minutes until they opened. End result was one hour late into work; noone gave a damn. Picking up bike after work. Bikes.

do people call them meat wagons because they are filled with loads of police and people call them pigs?

throw cuts of meat at rioting peasants from a wagon, in an attempt to distract and subdue them.
