Lot of it about apparently

Despite thinking the company was relatively immune to the credit crunch it now seems rather less so. When VC money wants to be matched by normal borrowing in a credit crunch something is going to give. There was a fairly glum faced meeting today as rather swinging redundancies were announced. As my position was working on the fringe of the core products on which they want to focus I've got caught in the cost cutting exercise. You start feeling middle aged after a few redundinations ;-)

I intend to spend the next few weeks with my feet idly perched on the sofa while sipping glasses of port on the run up to Christmas. Failing that I might start looking for gainful employment - possibly of a contract nature this time. If anyone knows of anything appropriate to my skills please do shout.
