OT-UPDATE Find out if I'm redundant tomorrow
Hi,
I've been lurking on here and not posting for the last few days which is just not like me. I've been really preoccupied with work stuff.
I find out tomorrow if I'm being made redundant. i've known for a while it's a possibility but yesterday (while I was at a bbq for my dad's 60th birthday) I was called and told I would need to interview for my own job today.
Needless to say my interview was rubbish. I had no time for preparation, cos I was spending it with family and friends etc. So I'm resigned to being told tomorrow that I won't be given a job in new structure and that I'll be made redundant.
I'm pooping myself cos no idea how we'll cope without my salary. Even part time it's the majority salary.
Also I'm so upset that after years of working hard to get where I am and make a good career for me and my family. Work will decide I'm not needed and let me go.
Also Archie is being really hard work just now. He is so clilngy and whingey. I'm assuming it's his teeth. But I'm so stressed about work that I'm finding it hard to be patient with him.
Anyway, thanks for letting me have a moan. S x
---------------------------
Well it's been the most horrid day ever. I've waited at my desk from 8am till 3pm to have my 15minute meeting and find out if I've still got a job or not.
And....... I do. Phew.
It's not the same job and it's not one I'm going to enjoy. But once I find out who my new boss is going to be then I should confirm I can keep my part time hours. Fingers crossed I can, if not I'm not sure what I'll do.
Anyway for now I'm still employed. I'm off on holiday from Friday for the next 2 wks so I'm off to book a week in the Lake District to celebrate. Suz xx

Hopefully work will see that they really need you and keep you on (its crap that you have to do that though, my dad had to interview for his own job last year and lost and was lucky to get another one at 58! )
Of not, then something will come up, it might be better than this one was...
am keeping my fingers crossed for you though.
I can sympathise with the shortness of patience, and dont feel bad about it, you have a lot to cope with at the moment.
Good luck for tomorrow!

Not sure what else to say but good luck whatever happens we'll be here if you need to rant! xx

Moan away - thats what we're here for
You never know - all could be ok. I'll send you some PMA

Oh where in the lakes are you going to? Ambleside is fab!
hope you get somewhere lovely and have a great holiday!

Definitely need to cheer myself up. Was so horrid today. My friend that I sit next to, 4 months pregnant, was made redundant. Cried more for her than for me.
Even if I'm not going to like it much I'd rather be employed just now.
I've seen a lovely little holiday village type place on lake windemere that has self catering lodges and static caravans etc.
It has an indoor pool and playground. And a restaurant and bar too. Only 2 miles from Bowness if we want to go out for dinner.
Going to book it tomorrow. S x
There used to be a good little playground in Bowness as well, not sure if its still there...
if you had a spare hour we could shoot up to meet you if you wanted? (I wont be offended if you say nope! )

Have a FABULOUS holiday!

enjoy your holiday.
Please don't be offended but probably won't use the opportunity to meet up. I would love to, honestly.
But think hubby would think differently. He doesn't have an issue with BE. But would think I was a bit odd taking time out of our 1st family holiday to meet up with someone I don't really know. Does that make sense ?
However if we like the place I'm sure we'll be back as we both like the lakes so maybe next time. I truly hope you're not offended. Suz x
Next time you're down we could try, or if we ever got up to my uncles place in coldingham we could try something then... ;\)
Have a fab time there though, it is very highly rated.
