I'm drained!

[HeyWayne]

Nothing to do with Bean (well, maybe a little).

Recently the company announced that we have to make yet more people redundant (having done so 6 moths prior), and on Monday they announced who was/is going. One of them is a real friend of mine, and I had to say goodbye to her just after lunch. We'll keep in touch obviously, but it still makes me sad (I'm getting a bit "lumpy" typing this). All afternoon, it's been people coming up to say goodbye, some hugs, some handshakes - some people I've know the whole 8 years I've been here, others only a short while.

I am absolutely done in.

I feel cr@ppy for posting this as I'm not keen on "down" threads - but just in case I may seem/sound a bit "off" this afternoon. I also feel a bit cr@ppy as I still have a job.

Ain't it just rubbish sometimes?

Sorry.

*off to bury my head in proof reading now...

Cheers Hayley, could do with that - going to give both LadyWayne and Bean a big ole HeyWayne Hug when I get in.

Have a good weekend.

[Irie Jan]

Aww great {{{{{BIG FAT HUGS }}}}} to you! Chin up mate.

sweetheart - 'down threads' are a fact of life, we all have downers and you have every right to post it here in my book.

I know you will be fine and come through, you are a bouncer

I was going to give you a big hug but I can't compete with the above so (((((hugs)))))

Aww Piskie all hugs are important, it is no competition, I am sure yours are just as welcome to wayne! I am just feeling all big and exited today because one more sleep and will be meeting some of the lovely grapes for the Wisley trip 2moz

Just crap when friends you have worked with for ages are made redundant. I remember feeling guilty that I still had a job but relieved at the same time. No wonder you feel a little down. LadyWayne and Bean will cheer you up when you get home. Remember, they're the reason you get up and go off to work every day. If you get chance, put your feet up this evening and enjoy the tipple of you choice.

[Rhona]

Oh what a rotten day. I totally understand you feeling down. Hope your friend finds something else soon. Thank goodness you're ok in your job - try not to feel guilty about it, just thankful. Have some of that nice Chianti you've got stashed this evening and feel all those Grape-y hugs coming your way.

[SarzWix]

(((((Hugs))))) from me too. Redundancies are 'orrible whichever side you're on, and there's so many right now Don't feel guilty honey, it wasn't your decision.

[MaureenHall]

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ big hug }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} from me as well. Don't squash Bean too much when you give him his Big Daddy hug!!!!

[zazen999]

That is rubbish...but in this climate there's going to be alot more of it.

I hope she finds something else soon.

You can't beat yourself up about it...just be there for her when she needs a moan and a groan. And also a reference of course.

[scarey55]

Stinks doesn't it

Just think, she still has you as a friend and she can call you every now and then so that you can tell her all the gossip (only bad stuff about the company, of course )

Don't feel bad matey, I don't know your friend but I'm sure she wouldn't want you to.

Chin up and a Française mwah mwah for you

[HeyWayne]

Thanks peoples, knew I could count on you lot!

Just before I left for home, LadyWayne sent me a text to say that Hayden had smiled, and she was trying to get him to do it again. Made me smile.

Glad to see the back of this week, just sat here with an ever-so-slightly overfilled glass of red and waiting for the ruby man to arrive.

piskie - definitely!

[miffy]

HeyWayne, never feel bad for being such a kind person, you are only down because you care about folk, you are allowed to feel c**ppy sometimes. Have a lovely weekend with your little smiler and take care :-)x
