Friday the 13th - again ....

It was Friday 13th February that we had "that meeting" at work where it all began - and I picked up my "at risk" letter before heading off for a week of "25th Wedding Anniversary" party at the Elizabethan gaff down Derbyshire way.

The 30 day consultation is over. Those "followers" who were quick off the mark late last night and early doors today may have seen some prose from my good self regarding various aspects of the "company that I have never named" during this whole kerfuffle/charade/butchering process. However - when I noticed that an IP address from Dubai had been on the site this morning, I thought it politic to remove said offerings, purely on the point I've made on that message - that redundancy will pay something - and the sack will not - even though the company has never been named - remembering also the "hits" from India a couple of weeks ago . I will freely point out that the "incompetent managment" (that got us into the sh*t in the first place) has now been replaced by a more ruthless regime - that is fact - people have been sacked on the spot - people have been escorted from the building - that is fact. I may have called one particular department a derogatory name ("piss up in a brewery" I believe) - I still believe that to be fact - I mentioned that they would - hopefully - be sending out letters containing the "meaningless scores" (that we can't divulge) today - I am led to believe that they DID print them out today - on the wrong paper (!), and then had to redo the whole thing ("theca probo" ???) ... I will await the letter in the morning. My words about a particular meeting I attended still hold true - attempting a major software change/upgrade in a ridiculous timescale "at this time", with some weird lines of communication - I still believe this to be true - may Frith prove me wrong - if only for those who will remain - maybe me maybe not me .....

However - it's Friday night - and it's Stuart's 40th birthday bash up at Mossley Football Club - so I'm going up there to try and enjoy/forget etc for a bit - won't be easy - coming home tonight I had to "step out" of Stalybridge Buffet Bar for a while - it all got a bit "too much" to be honest !

Still - football tomorrow afters - hopefully Mossley can put the two midweek defeats behind them and give Chorley a good seeing to ...

Laters ............
