Sometimes Life Does Suck

(Okay this was meant to be up last weeek, but hey, I forgot to post it. Well here ya go!)

Sometimes. And maybe this is one of those times. I could whine about so much, but what hits the top of the list is work. This week, and I got to say I wasn't exactly surprised, my co-workers and I we asked into a meeting where we were told that the company was closing down. Pahh! So anyway the boss - a totally crazy woman - put to us 3 options, all of which she had considered for our benefit. 1. She could simply close up the business. 2. She could merge the business with another. 3. We, or any combination of the three of us who work for her could take over and try to continue the business.

Now I'm sure you've noticed a particular option, one that throbs like a sore thumb because of it's absence..... We could all feck off right now and find alternative employment! Hehe... an option left out as she needs us to stay on until Christmas because she needs to wind the company down.

Should you be wondering, my decision is to take over the company. Believe me, with the prospect of a little one arriving in April, it's a frightening future, but it's that or return to the hopeless hamster wheel that is PAYE employment. Well, nope! I've been doing this for 14 years, I'm ready to run my own studio. No guts, no glory. Who said that, by the way?

My fellow workers are all jumping ship. Well they're all waiting for me to do all the hard work of checking - Ita you'll understand this, and correct me if I'm wrong - due dilligence, accounts, numbers, figures, informing clients etc.

I might sound a bit grumpy, and I am! Thing is I actually feel very positive about this. After all it's not everyday somebody makes you an offer to take over a company with plenty of potential for nothing but coverage! Yup, I'm going for it.

Later Hammo's!
