    Greece is on lock down i'm afraid so the refugees are stuck there. Some really sad stories. Met a Yazidi family who were on Mount Sinjar while kids were dying of starvation and thirst around them.

    Simple solution, book a nice (last minute) holiday somewhere interesting, and feck off and leave it all behind for a few weeks or months.

    Don't sit around pressing F5 on Jobserve, it will kill you.

    Usually I'm getting calls, emails, linkedIn requests/messages, texts and all sorts. It's pure uncertainty that is causing the chaos.

    However, out of adversity can come some good opportunities. Just started a gig working on a new cloud based data warehouse implementation with some snazzy analytics. I'm delivering it all on my own....
