Hi all
Long time no see

been busy with life
I've had an interesting week....got called down to head office for meetings and flew down to Adelaide on Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon at the end of the day I'm told I have a meeting at midday Thursday with HR. WTF! That's never a good thing to hear.
So, more meetings Thursday morning, then comes this 'special' meeting with HR. I enter the conference room and here's my program director along with two HR bods (no sign of any immediate project management)...WTF!
And the conversation goes something like this (but less blunt)...'your position is redundant, we're giving you five weeks notice, and a 5hit load of money'.
Jeez I didn't see that coming. It took all my skillz to not wear a 5hit eating grin on my dial while they told me this.
So, as of the 9th of May I'm semi retired. I'm setting myself up as a consultant in the long term, but for the first few months I'm getting some stuff done around the house that's been neglected for too long.
