      Thanks Cojak!

      Am thinking of quickly dashing to Oxford St at lunch and buying myself a treat to celebrate. Either that or jumping on my desk and doing the banana dance.

        Why not both?

          I will save the dance for Friday after the CEO formally announces the restructure.

            Treat yourself to a banana suit. Two birds, one stone.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Either way I am free! Woooooooooooooooooooooo!

              It is a really nice feeling. 3 days left to go and I am starting to feel normal again.

              Apparently there is an announcement on Friday they are going to be hit with a major restructure so I couldn't slip off at a better time.
              Dude did you quit before you signed a new contract !!!!

                Yep I did. Mainly for my sanity and health as the role was just a nightmare from start to finish. It came to the point where being benched is better than being here unfortunately.

                Had a rant about it a while ago on here about the bullies I worked with. Without a doubt it was the right move. Never worked somewhere before where I felt physically sick every morning before I go in. It will be fine whatever happens.

                  Good on you - glad you're out of there. Good luck with the new gig - maybe see you at the Spring Bash?

                    Know exactly what you mean. Dude you have got some stones.
                    Had gigs like that before. The last one the bullying was so bad I only made 3 months before I got really sick. Current gig is much much better.

                    Wishing you a much better gig next time.
                    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                      If you saw this place and how it is you would be surprised there are any members of staff wanting to be here on a permanent basis.
                      Sickly enough, some people are only looking for this kind of stuff.
                      I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
