I have just been given a job promotion with salary increase

Guess I should be delighted but my mind is elsewhere.

Shall I crack open a bottle anyway ?

Me too - was given a promotion 2 weeks ago and pay rise back dated to October, but handed my notice in last week anyway!

I'd crack open the bottle.

Ladies, I love the fairer sex, you are so sensible

I have bowed to your superior wisdom and cracked a bottle of Italiano red It's half empty already - or is that half full ?

You are right of course, cos if I don't get a visa I will be happy that this promotion came along.

Must remember to change my profile; a bit more for the CV

Thanks everyone and cheers.

I was Sales Support Manager then Customer Services Manager and my new title is Regional Sales Manager.

"Your mission Bix, should you decide to accept it, is to grow the markets in the Americas and Pacific regions whilst looking after a third of the UK. Good luck Bix"

And this vino bottle disintegrated after 5 glasses
