And now a word from our sponsors

Well I survived the talk
It took about 10 minutes in front of about 100 people. People laughed and asked questions, and nicely for me said afterwards that they enjoyed it. I drank three beers straight down afterwards and I'm quite glad I don't have to do anything like that again for a while.

First Thursday

Oh my one of the drawbacks of working for a funky media agency is that once in a while you have to do some funky media agency stuff.

I've been picked to give a presentation about myself in the big company wide meeting in a section called Knowing me Knowing you.

I have to give a quick talk about myself with slides.

Two people get picked per month and I was unlucky enough to be picked last month while I was away skiing.

30minutes to go wish me luck...

The Knives were out

Well I missed it the big board cull at my old company has happened. I found out last night that the Americans did what we were all predicted and got rid of most of the board, only Alan, Richard(who most still blame), Susie and Nick and the lawyer bloke are left.

The board after selling the company to the Americans presided over the downturn in the companies fortune, making a load of us redundant and the watching as most of the rest of the company resigned, due to them having ripped the heart out of the company.The morale has been really bad and they must have been having leaving dos every week.

The people who were forced out and nearly all in much better positions (except for Rob who's still at leisure) and now most of rest of the company (or at least IT) are in better positions as well.
