Another Crazy Day!!
After getting our visa's on Monday Morning!! woohoo!! it was with a little dread & trepidation that i went to work yesterday to tell my gaffer i was leaving, had managed to keep quiet for a year. (Have been with company 17 years, basically going from teaboy to sales manager). When i got into the office, the boss spotted me & asked me straight into his office.........
Boss: Hows your dad?
Me: A little better, but we will know more later in the week.
Boss: So when do you leave for Australia?
Me: :scared:
Boss: I have known for ages
Me:
Boss: i wish you had came and told me
Me: I'm sorry i did not know until Monday that it was a definate.
Boss: Well regardless of what happens, you will leave this company with our best wishes and a glowing reference, i am also willing to use all my contacts within the industry to get you something when you get there.
Me: I dont know what to say, thankyou so much.
Boss: But....
Me:
Boss: This idea is only in it's infancy but how do you feel about starting a subsidiary of this company in Brisbane?
Me: Is Jeremy Beadle about to burst in?
Boss: I'm serious, we dont want to lose you, we would provide computer, fax machine, money for research & Development, phone bills etc, all i would ask is that for a year you get your own car until we see how things go? if after the year it's good car added.
Me: The idea is exciting and i would defo give it a bash.
Boss: Right lets see what happens then, if we go ahead and after a year it does not work out we part company with no hard feelings?
Me: Thankyou very much.
So all in all another day of total madness in the Madsad Household.
PS> I asked Donna if she would be my PA, she said of course, i said you have to wear short skirts & your glasses every day, she slapped my jaw.
Boss: Hows your dad?
Me: A little better, but we will know more later in the week.

You deserve some good luck................you've persevered over the past 12 months......some people would have just thrown in the towel, but you didn't. It shows that if you stay focused, everything comes good in the end.
Chuffed to bits for you, you both deserve all the luck in the world!
