Copious Free Time

dennyI've just been made redundant.
Some paperwork bullshit to occur over the next week or two before it's official, but the bomb's been dropped and in a company this small, the paperwork is just a formality.
Time to tidy up the CV I guess.
Edit:
People keep asking 'why?' on IRC/IM/etc...
The company failed to get as much funding as they'd hoped for in their current round of financing talks. In combination with a very noticeable drop in the amount of work they have coming in, it was belt-tightening time. They decided that my position was the most expensive thing that they can limp along without until the workload picks up again. I'm told I'll get a good reference etc.

Date: 2008-01-08 11:48 pm (UTC)I happen to know that WCN (Wimbledon Park) are looking for a senior Perl hacker at the moment, and the number of pimps calling me at the moment is getting annoying, so I can pass on anything that's not a complete waste of time if you wish.
We're also hiring, but I suspect that the kind of money on offer wouldn't keep you in the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed...
