    Great, well done :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well, I start on 7th April.. As for the boss, well it did not end well.. His version of the future did not include me.. They did not want to renew my contract due to my performance.. Weird as a week earlier he said in an earlier meeting that he was very pleased with my performance.. Well I questioned him as to his reasons and he could not answer..

    5.30pm, I packed my stuff, returned my laptop, phone..smiled widely and walked out with my head high.. At least, my dignity is intact and my conscience is clear..

    I now have 10 days holidays to rest and enjoy myself..

    Excellent news Froggy!!!

    10 days off? You lucky swine, enjoy it :beer:

    Are you going to do anything special, or just chill out and have some Froggy time?

    Ps. I particularly like Radish's congratulations.

    Fabulous news Froggy. Enjoy your time off. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)
