Anything even on the horizon?
I have two jobs, neither of which I particularly enjoy but the goal for me is retirement at 50 (9 years, 13 days and counting) so I must plod on.

I've done the out of work thing myself though. It's fun for the first couple of days.

You can say that again
For the first week of so it's fun, then it gets stale very quickly.

Nothing looming yet, but I'll still be going through the motions.

My main employer
Is making a lot of people redundant at the moment. A frightening number of people, and the awful truth is that as a manager, I am the conduit through which the redundancy process passes.

The average application/acceptance ratio at the moment for vacancies is, I believe, about 90/1.

You're in a scary place and you have my empathy.

Yeah, everyplace is like that at the moment
I's not good.

I think 90/1 is the national average.
What has made this recession so hard hitting is that all sectors of employment have taken a beating.

Keep the faith.
