New Year
Christmas good, New year crap- wife ill in bed. Me I get back to work and get this flu bug. Its only this weekend I have felt better.
Work is still crap. I have another interview this week and if I don't get one of the jobs on offer I will be out. Not without a fight though.
On a more cheerful note. Embrace are releasing new stuff after 8 years away.
Here is a link to their single Refugees

Fear
I didn't get one of the jobs. I have a second chance in the New Year to apply so all is not lost. But I don't hold out much hope. All the talk with my bosses after my failure was about redundancy not about how to avoid it.
Let's hope I haven't been paying union dues for nothing over the last 30 years and they will help me make the best of a bad job.

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.
