That a bike you've always wanted, comes along, at the right price, in
the right kind of condition, a week after you've been put under notice
of redundancy?

I missed this. Having spent the last 3 months or so in a similar
position (company relocating; do I want to do the commute or exit?)
you've got my sympathies for all they're worth.

Thanks.

It's the 2nd time in a year now - last time there was a 50/50 chance of
retaining your job, this time there's a 0% chance.

I was relatively 'lucky' by sounds of it - one phone call advising me my
services were no longer required whilst on holiday, and that was it - none
of this mulling it over for a period of weeks / months.

And I'm pleased to report that the IT jobs market is about as buoyant as the
Titanic right now, or at least that's how it seems down here in Kent.

Time to diversify methinks.
