Well today has certainly been a mixed bag!
Let's start with the good stuff!
Sam had an exam at college today and walked away with TWO MERITS & A PASS. I am so proud and he was absolutely delighted. It's so nice to see him excelling at what he is doing and enjoying it too.
Now for the dark stuff.
The company I work for got bought out. We were told last week we would probably have to work out of London soon but that we all had jobs. This wasn't too bad news although the journey to London can be a pain.
Today we were told that we didn't all have jobs as there was an overlap and there would likely be some redundancies. On the plus side my job is not at risk but on the downside there are colleagues and friends of mine who are at risk and will end up being made redundant. That part sucks and really put a dark cloud over the afternoon. I have a feeling things will be pretty grim for the next week or two while the axe looms over peoples heads. Even knowing that the acquiring company will also be losing staff doesn't make the bitter pill any easier to swallow.
Still, at least I am not at risk for now and there could be some advantages to working in London.
Oh and by the way, my boy is a total star for getting TWO MERITS & A PASS! Go Sam!
