Had it confirmed today that I will be made redundant in 60 days time - then got dragged into a meeting where my current boss gave me the lecture about keeping the morale high for my team and ensuring that we don't leave any task unfinished having given it 100%.

Err; OK :/

I know that feeling. May you find something better where you are truly valued. :hugs:

I found a brand new KMC chain in its original packaging in a drawer this evening. I quite forget where it came from. Anyway, here's the tit situation....they bring in some moss and stuff, and fluff it all up, and then depart. If it's raining, they stay away. It was raining today.

And mouseyFecker since they arrived?

MousyFecker can't climb 4 metres up a cherry tree. Actually, he's probably on-line right now trying to buy some tiny crampons from Cotswold Camping and a ball of string.:cry:
Usually the birds will drive the mice away. Better scavengers, foodwise.
 
But I did have an interesting conversation with a PSCO yesterday afternoon regarding someone who is apparently living rough in the woodland nesar to me. Seems someone had even gone as far too suggest a person. When I was given the description I knew immediately who they were referring to and that fit is not homeless! Seems I live in an area that might hold some prejudices! And that there observational skills are nil, absolutely nil! Yes the guy (young guy in his 20's) always has a can of beer in his hands and has a young black Labrador, but he not homeless, never drink just drinks and if anyone actually looked closely his clothes are always spotlessly clean even if he is always wearing the same outdoor kit of cam trousers, cam boots, black t shirt and cam jacket. He has a young family and we meet him first 18 months ago or so, and often say hello to him and chat. Getting a dog and getting out for a walk each night is his only escape from the house. So someone had seen him repeatedly walking down our lane, someone has suspected that there is something living rough in a patch of woodland because a wooden platform has recently been built and decided to report this lad! :wacko: :thumbsdown:.

Anyhow at least he won't get any hassle now. The platform has been there a while since the previous owners of the house nearest to it lived there. And I know the guys route and roughly where he lives. The PSCO was happy enough that there was nothing to the report. And I walk that road every night with on my physio walk. If some one was living rough there I would have seen something! I know dirt and not being able to get clothes washed for weeks on end and I know a bit about living rough and camping wild, not to mention I have a brother in law who would fit that description as well. My bil also had the deadlocks to boot! Some people are snobs! And if they actually talked to the guy they would have found he is exceptionally polite, well spoken and very quiet with a young kid and wife/partner!
