Thankfully no balls this time. My life is a Peter Greenaway movie at the moment.</p> <p>Will be breakfasting at either look mum no hands or the rapha cc, so will be suitably cyclic though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26521 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:40:32 +0000 splitshift 26521@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>New job ! excellent ! well done ! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26506 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 14:50:00 +0000 DaveC 26506@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Congratulations, you'll have to change your user name to 'Anth at New Work'!</p> <p>I'm surprised at them arguing about your leaving date esp as they are making you redundant, instead of you leaving of your own accord. As for the finacial decision, redundancy? Depending on how much it was and the current job market, I'd be tempted too, to abandon any payment for a secure new job - and shame on them for trying to hold you to your intial agreed leaving date. Sounds like they want their cake and eat it - so typical of employers. Not knowing what you do, did you know Aegon were recruiting out at the Gyle, at least they were as they have lots of temps on at the mo, and a friend got a perm job there out of it. (bit late I know)</p> <p>I'll see about Monday. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26502 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 14:04:37 +0000 ruggtomcat 26502@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Im in. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26494 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 12:47:49 +0000 RJ 26494@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sounds like a result :) I'll be school-running on Monday, so too late for PY regrettably ... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26474 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 11:17:32 +0000 kaputnik 26474@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>0730-0815ish works for me also. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26451 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 01:44:53 +0000 Smudge 26451@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Congrats :-) That's nice news to hear.</p> <p>Monday sounds good for PY, if I make it I'd guess I'll be around between about 0735 and 0815(ish!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2486#post-26439 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 18:50:07 +0000 PS 26439@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice one.
