Private Hell

I've not been around much because I have been busy at work and wrapped up in a possible redundancy situation.

My organisation has decided to radically re organise and my job has been deleted. There are other jobs at the same pay /grade doing similar work but I have to apply for them. If I don’t get one I will be made redundant. My application went in earlier this week and I am waiting to hear if I have an interview for a chance at keeping a job.

All in all it’s a bit of a mind fuck and not much work has gone on in the offices. Least of all collecting rent the very thing , via welfare reform and the bedroom tax, that has caused this re organisation.

Young Rebel Set

I was on the train on Saturday night, travelling back from Peterborough, having watched Posh beaten 3-1 in a top of the table six pointer where we were outplayed in a dreadful second half display. The train journey livened up at Doncaster when a number of Sunderland supporters ( accompanied by a number of Transport Police) got on the train. They were pissed, not aggressive pissed, just loud.

I was searching the local radio stations on my phone as we pulled out of York and came across this band in session on BBC Tees.

I thought they were pretty good and definitely preferable to listening to pissed Makams berate their team.

You can listen to them here
