The ' R ' word

Howdy folks,
As I said previously April hasn't been the best month ever, and this was compounded by me being made ' At Risk ' of redundancy. For those of you who have been there, this is the first of five legal steps necessary for a company to say ' .. so long, and thanks for all the fish. ' What they didn't know is that I have a secret weapon up my sleeve ...... a six foot two man crying like a baby. I made Gazza look like he had a stiff upper lip. After the HR person managed to get my 'comfort blanket' back off me, and got me to sit back in the 'adults chair' again, I came up with a second solution. No, it is not what you would have expected of me - instead of throwing myself prostrate and crying " but how can I tell my hairdresser I can't afford to see her anymore " , I came up with a counter plan. The reason for redundancy is that the building I work in is being closed on May 31st. I convinced them that if I worked from home, instead of them moving my job to some stranger in Manchester, that the world would be a happier place if the role was run from sunny Thornton Heath. As of 10 minutes ago this has legally been resolved, as I have signed their new offer to officially 'work from home' starting June 1st, as long as I promise not to cry anymore. Hopefully now my biggest risk is whether that next donut will burst my trousers, I 'll keep you posted on both.

Much love

Fraser
