I really need to get into the habit of updating again.

I have that association meme to do, but what I'm actually doing is trying to finish a story. I'm three scenes from the end, which is good, because it's already over 52k.

Other than that, the only thing of note is James was asked to take a pay-cut. It was either that or potential redundancies, so the choice was easy. Still, he got off better than some. He works for an American company and the staff over there got a 20% cut, which ouch!

My exciting updates. Let me show you them.

Me too. I just need to remember to actually update :)

Yeah, it really does. But better that than no job.

Yes you do!! If you don't talk to us we might think you've gone and disappeared again :-)

52k, wow! go you!!

Having to take a paycut sucks but I guess it's better than the alternative. I'm keeping my fingers crossed everything will turn out alright.

I'm sure I'll soon be back to sharing every tedious detail of my life again, soon *g*

Well, it looks a lot but no doubt 20k will have to be cut out to make it readable.

Yeah, that's it exactly. Better a job with less money than not at all.

Looks like the US economy is hitting everywhere. Glad he didn't have to do 20%

It looks like it.

I can't even imagine what a blow 20% would be. I feel so sorry for them all.

Boo for paycuts :-( Still, as you say, at least it's better than redudancy.

Yeah, that's how we feel. When the team was called into the office they all thought redundancy, so a paycut was much better.

Yay for an update, but sorry to hear about the paycut. That's gotta hurt. But 20% wow! That's outrageous!

Yes, soon I'll be back to my daily posting ways. As will other people I hope.

*peers at you*

20% is shocking. I feel for those workers so much.

Ugh, the paycut can't be fun, but I'm glad they gave their workers the choice.

Also, what's the best email addy to use to hash out visit details with you?

Yay for the light at the end of the story tunnel! And for keeping jobs, I guess, though the pay cut is sucky. But yeah, less is still better than nothing.

The light of a story tunnel is always a good thing. Until you remember you have to go back in and make it read okay /o\

Less is much better than nothing.

Honestly, you say that now but I don't know. I love it but it's so much h/c. You know what I'm like *g*

Yeah, that's of the suck. But it could be worse.
