# Sorry, a bit distracted
We are being told that we are all being made redundant. I'm just waiting to be called in. I'm clearing my desk as we speak.

# Oh yeah
desk clear - check
personal stuff removed from PC - check
loins girded - check
B3ta Cache deleted - still to do (last minute)
Get another job - oh shit, I knew there was something I'd forgotten

# Well not really
but I'm trying to put on a brave face.

There are 50 of us in the same boat (the entire Cape Town operation).

Right now I'm just focussing on the fact that I don't have to get up early for a while and trying to forget December's mortgage payment :/

# thanks guys (honestly)
I know. I have found in the past that when something like this happens, you move on to better things.

I thrive on change and believe that people like me don't end up in the gutter.

# sorry - had to wander out for a moment there.
Poor you pot, don't let the bastards get you down. Take their redundancy money and set up a competing firm and then run them into the ground, buy up the company and make them redundant!

# I've only been here for 7 months
my redundancy pay is not even a week's money!

We were taken over by a yank firm and they have sent in the trenchmen.. bastards
