another year over

a quick look back over the year leads me to conclude that although i started really strong with a lot of blog posts...i've ended it really badly!
oh well, such is life i guess!
i've also had several different jobs, some good, others not so good.
i've had a holiday (the first in ages) and it was really good

next year i'm sure will mark a strong improvement in my life
i've set myself a couple of challenges, i've had a couple forced on me
and i've put things in motion that are now up to fate to decide the next step
2007 wasn't quite the year of Px that i'd hoped for, maybe 2008 will be

btw...for those who are still interested, the job front hasn't changed, i'm still possibly being made redundant. although i did have an interview and i've had the call back for it, but i'm not sure it's really a job that i can see myself doing, or even wanting to do to be honest...
anyway
here's to hoping you all have an amazing new year and celebrate it however you choose to
raise a glass for me, i'll be raising one for all of you

It's been how long?

ok sorry it's been so long
but there's been a lot of shit hitting some very big fans around here
but first of all
my back is finally ok :)
that's a good thing

ok some of the shit
last wednesday we were called into a meeting at work in which we were told that there were talks going on regarding another company buying out our company...they were at such an advanced stage that the directors felt that we should know about it
on thursday we were called in to another meeting to say that as of noon that day we'd been bought. some questions were asked, but there wasn't much there because everyone was a little in shock...
today we were in a 3rd meeting, this meeting was to discuss the plans for the future...in other words it was a meeting to discuss what was going to happen to all of us.
basically we were told that with the exception of the sales team, because the company was pretty much losing money, everyone was at risk of losing their jobs, from the managers right the way down the line...
and considering muggins here was the last in
guess who might be the first out!

other shit that's been going on
i have plans for my future
but in discussing these plans it became obvious that these plans were going to cost a lot more than i'd originally thought. hankfully my mum has stepped in on that front and offered my some money to help out with the plan
things there are on track
or at least they were until they took a knock again today.

i'm trying to be all about the PMA at the moment, but i'm not sure how many knocks i can take!

so, if anyone can offer me a job, that'd be sweet
