One More Shift To Go

...and I'll formally be out of a job.

yes, you read that right. Drama has been afoot since last Tuesday, when we finally found out where we stood at our place of employment. After months of speculation, we have learned that the sale of our workplace to a multi-national fuel company has resulted in most of us (including myself) becoming redundant.

This Tuesday is the last day we will be trading under the current arrangement. There will be a big send-off for all the staff and regular customers to come down and see the last hours out, and I will definitely be down there to have some fun!

I know, I know, being unemployed is going to be a drag... and yet, I feel a strange sense of liberation out of this. Like I have a lot more options than I did a couple of weeks ago. yes, being job-free will be hard to get used to (again) but at least now I'll have some more time to catch up on all the stuff I missed because I was at work, like catching up with friends on the weekend, and doing more stuff around the house... and oh, I don't know, updating this sad neglected old blog, perhaps.

Yeah, let's see what happens. :)
