Great news

Redundant

I was planning on leaving this year anyway so maybe it's a blessing in disguise... but I guess that's what happens when you work for morons.

What next? Who knows... hopefully bigger and better things.

It does mean I'll have to get broadband at home now to appreciate all those quality [ms] mixes.

Grrrr.

being redundant doesn't sound like great news to me... i can't tell if this is a happy post or a sad post... too many contradicting emoticons. i am going crazy. you ARE crazy.... what mean you?

Re: Great news

Yeah, the 'great news' bit was ironic... but I'm not really sure what to think.

Happy/sad/happy/sad?

Like I said, I was planning/hoping to leave this year as I've been here too long so this has forced my hand ? long-term it's probably a good thing, short-term I'm pissed off.

Is that any clearer? Hmm...

[Garrick]

so did you get fired or something? or are they (who?) forcing you to leave because of your redundancy?

i think i would exile you too.

Exile me!

Nah, the magazine I work on has closed because our publishers have no idea what they're doing. I am completely blameless and an excellent employee. Anyone got a job for me?

[Pataky P]

Yes,yes it is a great news!!

That sucks mate. With all the help you've provided me I wish I could hire you on as our personal tour guide during our honeymoon. Someone out there would be insane not to tap into your plethora of knowledge. Good luck.

Hey, where'd my post go?

Sorry guys, didn't realise it wasn't a univeral word...

[Jenks]

Hey, where'd my post go?

um, yeah, so i was trying to copy and cut to quote you to rectify (funny word) the misunderstanding about "redundant..." and in the process, somehow was actually editing your post instead of quoting it. Long story short, i just totally mangled what you said, and couldn't remember what you said in the first place...so i just deleted the whole mess.

i suck at teh interweb.

Well, I guess that explains who was trying to delete the 'Interview the person below you thread' and fucked up.
