Only the lonely

I have weird feeling in the pit of my stomach this morning. For this first time in some years I have left C with my Mum and Dad. For a whole week. It is weird because she wasn't phased by it at all. In fact after saying good bye she almost said "YES GOOD BYE" as I asked for the thousandth hug and kiss..

Kids hey........


She also slept until 07.30 Grrrrrrr.........

You win again

Judging by the lack of a big green box by my desk, I am guess I didn't win the XBOX 360 for attending the "Listen to Microsoft chappy talk at work" Thingy..

NUTZ

Keep your hands inside the carriage

Think it was Roland Ketting that sang "Life is a roller coaster". Well he couldn't have been more right. The last few month's have been one hell of an emotional ride and I am kind of getting dizzy.

As I mentioned before May pretty much started the ride. There was huge climb in emotion as Mrs H and I found out she was expecting. Which was great. Then we hit the drop. Car was F**ked so that was couple hundred quid we really needed. Sis in law broke up with her BF and then the shock and pain of a miscarriage. All this pretty much happened within a week or two. Then there was expected group meeting where is was obvious what was coming. The only up moment was Disney but it only offered a small rest from the emotional coaster we were on. Compounded by Mrs H & I falling out with her Sis and Family. Sometimes people trying to helpful can be so insensitive. Loss of BF does not equal Miscarriage in my book.

June didn't offer much relief with expected announcement that we were an affected group and that the department were planning to get rid of 15-20 people in July. A glimmer of light was the Sis in-law patched up with Mrs H and BF.

So in July we have had more ups so far. C's report was very good. I still have a job (survived round one for the moment) and couple of other things have made me laugh and smile. Having said that I can see another drop. SIL broke up with BF again (Good and proper), We are still on affected status (which means they could announce more redundancies).

So in conclusion the next few weeks should be fun and I just hope at some point the ride stops for a breather so before we need to go again.
