Raintree Redundancies

Odd day today as I was working at Raintree and 5 people were leaving at the end of the day. They've made about 12 redundant and then next batch leave next week. Not nice. Some had decent payoffs so they weren't too bothered.
They all went to the pub. I wasn't invited, I don't really mind about that as they don't think of me as an employee anyway. The office is going to be even more quiet now as it's already pretty empty on a good day!
Saddened to hear that Angela has also handed in her notice as sue told me. That's a frustration because she's quite an ally for me.
Need to think about my own position and what I offer so as to be valuable to them.
Lewis is still holidaying in Crete and enjoying himself. He had a phone interview today with Siemens which he said went really well and they sound keen on him so that was rally pleasing to hear. Says he might be offered a face to face interview as a result of the phone call. That would be great if something comes from it. I'm not confident in his exam results. They'll be out soon. Scary!
Not much else to report. I'm typing this at the tyre place as my car has a slow puncture. Didn't know they could fix it without replacing it. Not sure that they can, we'll soon see either way
Got my haircut done today as well. It's been a nightmare the last 4 weeks as it was a shut cut a few months ago!!
