Well done BC, your willingness to take on such a task is admirable, could well be joining you shortly, all the bosses and HR are in a closed door meeting as we speak, rumor has it and BE knows all about rumors, 50% are to go,

Yes thanks BC. I had a nice time too . We had another reprive today even though HR were around. We have been expecting bad news since mid December and are in the process of trying to plan for whatever.
It's crap waiting and not knowing - feeling life is on hold until we get some news or decisions made.

But as I said this morning - we all look good in black

Thanks again

I have.

I'm outta here early Feb.

I don't really give a monkeys, as I came out here on my own (I would not wish the UAE on my nearest and dearest).

I was lucky. Everything (accom, car, etc) was paid, and I have banged a stack of cash away. I have no loans...period.

I do feel sorry for people who have over extended themselves with loans here, but in a way, its a wake up call.

Love and kisses
