I haven't posted for an age. Perhaps bullet points would be easier?

• Work situation got more awkward. Became obvious that organisation wasn't going to get fixed anytime in the near future; and it's the sickness in the organisation which ultimately causes the problems with Nice But Disorganised Co-Worker, and Crap Management.
• forbinproject got shiny new job and started coming home in the evening all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I get very itchy feet...
• Handed in notice on the last working day before Christmas. Bugger the pension and the holidays, sanity is more important - and a 3 month notice period is so long it might jeopardise getting a plum job.
• As of yesterday have shiny new job with Which? Online, with a substantial pay hike and good terms & conditions. Leaving here at the end of the month, starting there 7 Feb.
• Evil Property Developer loses the fourth consecutive Planning Inspectorate appeal. The inspector's report is borderline sarcastic in the strongest yet rejection of EPD's arguments.
• New Vaio laptop has arrived to replace the one nicked in the burglary.

Net result, happiness.

Wow! What great news. Sorry to hear about the job madness, which did in fact become madness, but Wooohoooo has it been fixed now! How exciting!!!! Now you get to bounce too.

Wonderful news about the EPD. I know this costs you and all of the Ilford massive huge amounts of emotional energy and time, but surely events like this must help to make it all worthwhile. Go you!

I day dream about having a new Vaio. Sigh, one day one of them shall be mine too.

PS: Great to hear from you, have been wondering what has been happening in your world, but didn't want to interrupt.

I'm really glad for you and I can't think of anyone more appropriate to be working for Which?

I was thinking just the other day that I had not heard from you in ages (to the extent that I checked that your LJ was still there).

So glad that the news is all good, sorry that there has been some stress in getting there.

Would be very lovely to see you soon.

Well done, you most excellent negoatiator and super-niche expert.
