    Angry Fubar

    Well the big cheese is flying down tomorrow and it looks like our office will be closed down. Bugger..

    So this means no job and the nasty prospect of finding another one.

    It also means curtailing my straight purchases until further notice..even worse.

    So if you have something to post to me, don't send it to my business address, I'll pm you with my home one.

    Thanks

    Gary

    You could always go into the Kauri sales biz if you've got the connection. I know the owners of several exotic wood stores in my area if you're lookin' to make contacts.

    Well the result is in. It is a bit like the opening lines of "A Tale of Two Cities",
    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

    The office will close 31 August so I have 9 weeks to find a job. So whilst the news was bad I do have some time.

    Hi Gary ,sorry to hear of your problem,It is definitely not a nice feeling,particularly if you have responsibilities , mortgage and a wife and kids to run, people get used with their lot and when change is pushed on them they feel mighty uncomfortable The same happened to me 20 yrs ago after a work accident. Their idea of rehab was to sack you,just when I had a young family and mortgage,I not winging,what I am saying things always seem to work out,best of luck with looking
    Kind regards Peter
