I am ok thanks Jeff.
Wife is back from Edinburgh. Baby seems happy & healthy (and sleeping through the night which makes a massive difference).

HH conversations are going fine. Getting a good reaction to my CV. Challenge is that the sort of jobs I am being considered for are quite rare and the interview process can take months. I think it will be Easter before I land something I am happy with.

How are things with you Sir?

Not bad thanks.
I'm pitching for a new contract (with a different company) over the next couple of weeks as it looks like to stay where I am, they'll insist on cutting my rate.

Are you looking for another directorship?

Preferably. Either functional lead (marketing) or an CEO role.

If you go for the CEO option
Would you want to go with a PLC or a company that still have private equity?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 21:02, Reply)

PE would be better - long term incentives and all that. PLC means a lot more fiscal management, short term goal leadership to keep building EBITDA & corporate PR

But there is more chance of a golden handshake from a PLC when you fail to increase earnings before tax!
Taking a company from PE to flotation would be something interesting to have on the C.V.

I have been involved in one flotation years ago - on to AIM. Would like to do another.

Got any plans to keep busy between now and finding a suitable role?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 21:12, Reply)

I would like to do some more voluntary work - haven't done any since I stood down as a charity trustee back in May

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 21:13, Reply)

voluntary work?
Pfft. I wouldn't do it if you paid me.
