Oh dear, very sorry to hear that. We've just moved into a compulsory redundancy situation here too.

Oh no! I'm so sorry.

Well I can't complain too much. I've had a very enjoyable three and a half years here. Certainly a lot more fun than any of my previous jobs!

Oh No! Sorry. I hope you are able to find someting else that offers a bit of fun as well as work - and something fulfilling would be nice too! How long have you got before you pack your things?

Well my official last day is 5th June, but since I have not taken any holiday this year, I'm required to take it during my notice period, so my last day in the office is next Thursday.

Not much time to hang around and mope then! It is a tough time for you. I do so hope "something turns up" - and soon.
