Some possible good news (slight inclination towards giving credit to karma)… I handle petty cash each day so made the trip up to my bosses office to lock it all up. While there, my Boss asked me to sit down and have a chat.

Earlier in the week I had popped the suggestion forward of me going part time for 2 reasons… to give the company some breathing room in terms of cutting costs (my salary is pretty low… but it would help) and selfishly (though I didn’t mention it as I didn’t want to draw attention to me being a liability) from my own side as a protection to my health… full time is not helping me right now.

Well he had spoken to the MD and both had agreed that it was one of the more helpful suggestions they’ve received and would help towards saving at least one job (not including my own).

Got a few things to iron out (i.e. that it doesn’t screw up my statutory redundancy package if things get worse and it all goes to hell) but looks like it will go ahead and I will go from 40 (45 including lunch hour) hours a week to 25.

Silver lining heh.

Thanks for all the messages and useful advice/support (((((you)))))

Oh and Gayle... bake? Amusing though it might be to give everyone the craps (can't cook for peanuts... it's either underdone or charcoal)... I think it'll be safer for all concerned if I just buy some hehe.
