Feeling Redundant?
I've bit of news from this side of the water.
My company just announced today that it's shutting down. Everyone is out of a job so 130 redundancies in all. D-day is April 3rd but as I'm on holidays from 14th March to 1st April I'll only be back to tie up lose ends etc. I'm not really upset and going on what's been happening management-wise for the last few months a lot of us were expecting it we just didn't imagine it would be only one month's notice.
The weird thing is tomorrow is the two year anniversary of my near fatal car crash and I don't think it's a coincidence. At the same time last year something happened that made me have to change my life around and now this. After the accident I remember thinking 'I walked away for a reason, and it was not to live the life I was living'. At the time I wasn't in a very good place and the crash made me look at my life and what I wanted. And 'coincidentally', in the last few months I haven't been very happy and this redundancy comes up and gives me an opportunity to start afresh and do something... different or life changing or just have an experience I maybe wouldn't have had otherwise.
Anyway there's the news I got today passed on. It's been hectic anyway.
