always comes in threes they say. They're not wrong :
1) I may have been caught speeding (3 points more and I lose my licence)
2) Douglas Adams
3) I've been made redundant.
All this happened in the space of 1 week, so I am fairly unpleased. Hopefully it will mean that my company pays me the money I'm owed which is good. Still as Labour will have us believe, things can only get better.

The first two are bad, yes. As for Douglas, he was young, but I think he did what he had to do down here - certainly he did more than the average person, and he will continue influencing people for a long time yet. As for being redundant, and your government's unreassuring promises, I don't think you have much to worry about. I'm 29 now and so far I've only been able to hold one job for a period of one year, from I guess 1993 to 1994, I haven't even bothered to record the details! You have lotsa talents, just do whatever you find to do! The world is an interesting place right now, there's a lot of s**t but also lots of opportunities if you keep your eyes open!

I got away with the speeding thing. I won't go into that.
Redundancy was a bit of a mixed bag. I was quitting anyway to go to university so I'm not that annoyed about. I could have done with the money though . I'm more worried about some of my colleagues who are quite old and will have trouble getting another job.
