Poor mcmercer! Just think - you won't feel sad tomorrow morning when you wake up and don't have to go into work.

And the feeling will be even better on Monday morning!

I finished work on the Friday, celebrated all weekend and flew on the Monday. Much easier than dragging it out over several weeks. 4 days stopover in HK and wham straight into job and flat hunting.

Hurray!!!!!!!!!! no work, that didnt last long then!;)
Going to have hair and nails done, am getting used to unemployment.

Pollster Jan 29th 2004 9:31 pm

Told yer!!


It is my last day of 'working' today as well - I say 'working' because I am a freelance journo working from home and actually spend more time walking the dog than working - and I am looking forward to Monday when the ritual email checking every 1/2 hour and constant phone calls from corporate t*ts can stop!

Enjoy your pampering! :D

Not a smidgen of a sausage on the news front. :(

But Villa have bought a new player so apparently that is something to feel positive about!?

Pollster Jan 30th 2004 1:06 am

Got a case officer!!!!! :D

True, her harrassed sounding answer machine message says please don't leave messages because I am flat out, which makes me worry - but at least it is a different sort of worry.

Fingers crossed for a phone call early next week saying our application is fine and the visa's are in the post!

jesus, you sounded like badgers then.

all we needed was a couple of references to ute's and maybe a couple of yadda yadda's and the transition would be complete.
