We've just had some excellent news (work related)

Apparently we're all going to be paid up until the end of October. Even if you're told to go home from next week.

Only caveat is don't resign before end of October - unless you've been asked to stay on, your contract ends on 31st October so you can start a new job on 1st November with no notice requirement and no need to resign.

This really does take the pressure off in terms of finding the right new job, rather than any new job. The smiles on people's faces right now as they're about to leave for the weekend are the best things we've seen all week. Visibly the weight has been lifted off so many people's shoulders.

    I intend to - I haven't touched a drop of alcohol all week as I've had a stress headache every day and dreaded the thought of adding a hangover headache to it!

    There's a lovely bottle of wine (or 2) in the fridge which has my name all over it!

    I was in the ladies and could hear the whoops of joy from the men's loos people are that chuffed!

    That's good - my friend's brother is something V senior at Lehmans, and it's been a terrible week for him and his family too. Very glad to hear that you've all got some breathing space to get sorted.

    Fab news, enjoy your weekend! I found out this afternoon that a lady in my team, whom I'm having to make redundant (boo) has a new job to go to. It's amazing how much lighter I feel now after that good news!
