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.

Actually I'm feeling very very upbeat. I've caught up on my sleep and continue to get enough on a daily basis (mornings, who needs 'em?). I've also had quite a lot of positive leads on potential new jobs, without doing any actual work to find them, so I'm feeling hopeful about my prospects in the short and medium term.
Plus, I've taken advantage of the time off to start decorating my bedroom in the new flat, which is making me happy (if somewhat paint-speckled).
