Funny guys!

My renewal will take me to 5.5 years there, so let's see if I survive the cull? At the end of the day, they have been more than good to me, as a Supplier of Services. If it comes to end, sooner rather than later, as long as I get my Cape Town (holiday + working week), I will be a happy-camper...

Ba...Ba..Boom!

Just accepted my Boom! from IBM, midst voluntary (and rumoured non-voluntary) redundancies.

Offered 31 Dec - accepted beginning August (24 month rule). Off to Cape Town for 4 weeks holiday on 02 Feb and they are happy for me to work for a week from there, remotely.

Was wondering if I can claim any expenses during my week whilst working there? Travel / Subsistence / Internet+Mobile phone - scratches head
