After 4 long months of knowing that i was to be made redundant, last week it finally happened. I recieved an update phone call from the stupid CIO of the company (I wish to nominate said SIO as the worst manager in the history of everything btw) and he said, “it’s happening today”. Thanks for the kind words, you twat.
So my last day at the company i had been at for the last 7 years was Friday the 5th of February 2010. I was sad to leave but also a teeny bit excited. I have a huge offline business venture that had been not getting enough of my time, and also I really want to put a whole lot more effort into my IM work.
The last couple of months have actually been rather shit for me. I have lost my house, my job and finally my girlfriend of 5 years decided to leave me too. Woe is me. My new house has no internet and looks like it wont be getting any very soon (out of ports at the exchange gah!) so i have moved my PC into the office space above the warehouse where my offline business is! Super fast internet and a whole office to my self! check the pics! (click to embiggen)
Im at the back on the right near the massively over sized rack. Oh if anyone you know needs a desk in the Melbourne CBD hit me up!
It’s a great spot and i’m hoping that it will keep me in the working frame of mind as i really struggle to work from home. (Massive layabout, smelly dog, dindgy computer room).
So! Big changes for me! No job, new office, room full of boxes so i can hardly get to my bed, no girlfriend, big fat redundancy check. Hmmm. I hope to keep this blog more updated as i start my new journey!

It is a good post.
A little bit envious of that office! Wish I had all that space to spread out in. It sounds like you might have been handed an opportunity in a strange sort f way, anyway best of luck!
Well everything that ends will always have a new beginning. I guess this can only be one of those trials you will have to face to better prepare you for a bigger challenge in the future. Just keep it up and don’t give in, good luck.

Nice informative article thanks for sharing it. it such a coverage article for me just as.
Your post has proved insightful in analysis and cogent in its logic.
Ok you promised more updates to your blog. Now where is it?! LOl, just kidding.
Well I know how you feel about being made redundant. Then getting a big paycheck. But unlike you, I really didn’t know what to do afterwards. I sort of started my own business, and I’m still struggling with it until now. Oh it pays the bills and all. But not enough to save and party or shop all at the same time. Sucks really….
