Resigned !!
 
Woo hoo

After 8 years of thankless toil i have finally resigned....

I finish on Friday 3 June - starting work for a new company the following Monday (boo) but they are relocating me to Australia 2 months later (woo) taking a small pay cut (boo) but have a job to walk into (woo).

Two woos, two boos and one woo hoo - so on balance i guess its a woo hooooo!!

Hi,

Congrats - think of the job as a total bounus then, nice to have one straight away.

Where are you coming to in Brissy?, I've visited your website and noticed you have the house I'm living in the galery, well not the show home of course. Oh God - I sound like a stalker!!!!

Oh, We're in Thornlands, South of the CDB, we have a Ballina and love it, not sure if its the 43 as we didn't build it, go a bargain as a couple built it then had a change of plans. Lucky us!
