Onwards, ever onwards ...

Just an update to prove I'm still here ...

I've decided to take the new job at my current place, so at least that's resolved and there's no unemployment to endure.  There is, however, a foru month trial period in the new role, so the story hasn't really ended just yet.

I have managed to arange a game at the local club tomorrow night and will be playing Formula De, a fun game. I have a number of plans for this (as I seem to have for everything!) so it'll be good to get another game of it under my belt and maybe try a few new things for it, time permitting!

Hopefully now that the job situation is on a much more even keel, I'll be able to make some proper posts here again - thanks to all the followers for persevering with the blog through these unsettled times!

Bad news ...

Apologies for yet another long gap between posts ...

However, for once I have a decent reason (at least I think  it is!). The day after making my last post, I was called into a meeting by my boss at work, and told that due to the reorganisation within my department (which I'd known about for quite a while) my post was no longer required and therefore if I did not take the new position, I would be made redundant ...  bit of a shock ...

So instead of making things and doing hobby stuff over the last couple of weeks, I've been feeling sorry for myself and trying to decide if I want to take the new role - which is VERY different from my current role - or redundancy and the attendant risk of finding a new job. I've been made redundant before (twice actually) and it's not much fun at all.

So apologies for the lack of updates and especially to Simon for not replying to his facebook contact (I rejoined facebook just before getting this news)
