Well, after a week of preparing myself for the bad news I ended up the week receiving good news – I still have a job! I really feel for my work mates who didn’t make it through although I have heard that a few of them have contacts in their old job so hopefully that’ll translate…

Well, I had my interview today and I think I went ok – sure, there were some parts where I could probably have given better examples as answers but I doubt that extra ‘study’ would have made a lick of difference. Oh well, on Friday they hope to have a decision made and we’ll all…

Got the first part of the bad news and that is the outline of the cuts that have been proposed. Now, unless there is some major bail out of the industry by the government (which is highly unlikely but anything is possible given the circumstances and the various vested interest involved) it is doubtful that…
