canned

i expected it.
was hoping it wouldn't happen until the new year - but hey as my sainted mum used to say 'if ifs and ands were pots and pans there would be no need for tinkers' - yeah i have no idea what it means either.

anyway i have been shit canned from my job.
they are downsizing.
so the admin team i led at the college has lost four full-time members of staff and three part-time members of staff. leaving three staff and two bosses to deal with several hundred students. (oh and one of the members of staff they have kept on for just a month and one of the bosses won't go near students).
it isn't so much downsizing as it is pulling the plug.

so i am back to the job hunt again - just when the news of unemployment figures reaching a 17-year high. boy am i regretting my decision not to move north right about now.

oh well tomorrow is another day and options to be weighed and decisions made.
