I'll be having fun in the next few days as the new laptop is due to arrive on Thursday, that means lots of rebuilding of applications and transferring files from one to the other. I just haven't got the time to do it at the moment.

I keep getting big bright yellow MEET SINGLE ARABS ads, which are a little bit embarrassing at work. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Why? Do the single arabs you're meeting keep coming round to the office?

Bugger, The customer whose site I work on is being taken over by that big Spanish bank at the moment. If it all goes through, my job could be no more after October or more likely Christmas even.

Cack that is Coffers. Can you not request to go work on another site? At the moment it's our only real customer in the UK. It all depends if our company wants to maintain a UK prescence to try to pick up other customers or not I guess. We all theoretiaclly work from home anyway. Everything is sort of business as usual until we know for certain what is happening. Our bigwigs have a European quarterly meeting today and the boss is attending. We may know more after that, but I doubt it. However the timing couldn't be more apt and it will mean the situation will get discussed quicker than it otherwise would have. We know taht our internet product is better than the offering that the buying company currently has, but whether they will take it onboard is another matter.

The only other site we have is the London HQ, now whether we could be absorbed into a sister company from there is something to find out later.

Bad news there Mr C - Hope it all works out for you.
Of course, you could move to Spaia. I hear Meej has a back room free now his sister's turtle has moved out.

Oh bugger, they want me to do Jury service again, I've been randomly picked, 3 years after being randomly picked last time. FFS! Haven't they got anyone else they can randomly pick? I think I'm going to have to ask for a deferral as it's smack bang in holiday periods; and we don't have a lot of cover if people go off willy nilly to pronounce the guilt of miscreants. I've just had a phone call telling me they have too many jurors for the weeks I was allocated, so I can either be re-allocated or be excused. I asked to be excused for now. Yay!

I'm trying very hard not to smoke any cigarettes while I'm at work this week, in an effort to try and cut down. It's 11am on Monday, and already I'm struggling... I haven't given in yet, though. My main tactic is to not bring fags into work, and not accept any from other people. In theory, this will work. Wish me luck!

Good luck with that Boo. If you give it up altogether, you'll be amazed at how rich you will suddenly become. Well until you find something else to spend the money on. :checkit:

I was at the hospital on Monday, they say the silly cloud thing in the eye has almost cleared so I'm now only on six weeks of steroid drops, taken four times a day. Back to the hospital on 22nd September and then we're going to probably discuss surgery again. However, as you lot are probably aware (or will be when I remind you), I'll be needing some luck (and possibly a meteorite) for the weeding this weekend. Of course I haven't started writing my speech yet, or finalised the honeymoon yet, but apart from that, we're doing OK. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Seriously good luck with the whole thing, it's a stressful day for everyone at the best of times.
