Not good week

Last Thursday my Internet access at home died.

I could, of course because it's 2014, use my phone for limited connection but it's not the same.

At work, we are all a bit down.

In fact last Wednesday I told my boss I wanted to take Friday off so I could have a long weekend. I've been working hard for a quite a few months dealing with unpleasant topics and needed a break.

It was short notice but he agreed, probably because he knew that otherwise I would go my doctor and he would unhesitatingly write me off two weeks - a lot of German doctors are like that.

And yesterday he - my boss and CITO - told everyone he had resigned and would leave in a couple of weeks.

Today is the start of the Easter long holiday.

Slowly ...

... coming to an unpleasant realisation.

My group, comprising two teams, has been halved.

Or will be in a couple of months' time.

So during this coming week I have to, with the team managers, work out how we provide a service.

I am not sure we can provide the service the company will require.

And although I may secure more headcount there is a risk that they may have to compensate in other areas. See where this is going?

Today I sent my c.v. to a recruitment consultant I've known for a while.

And I also updated Monster.

A few years ago a friend told me that simply updating Monster generated a lot of interest.

Let's see.
