i always look at things like this as an opportunity to move on, and normally to better things.

Currently that isn't what you want to hear i know, but there will come a time when you will laugh at their loss.

i hope someone sees the talent that you have and snaps you up, good luck mate  :y

That is, quite frankly, ridiculous . :(

However, as others have said, it could be an opportunity to do something else. With your reputation, I'm sure you'll find plenty of "odd jobs" to tide you over   :y :y :y

Don't worry James. This will work out to your benefit, I have no doubt of that. :)

You have many talents and while you can work as a mechanic (sorry Mark ;)) in the interim, you will find your excellent IT skills will get you in somewhere else very soon.

I was in a situation where I had to leave my job recently. I wasn't sure what would happen at the time but it has turned out to be the best thing that could have happened.

Bugger.

But as others have said, it may turn out to be a good thing, as I'm sure an otherwise unexplored opportunity will arise :y

With the work I did on the SPINE project a few years ago, I know a fair few people working on NHS IT contracts, and they are all being axed it seems.

I have been going through a very long and challenging recruitment process for a voluntary role, for a while. I've recently found out I was sucesfull and, while it won't pay the bills, it has been a real confidence boost. Without it, I'd be a mess at the moment.

I won't deny I'm worried about money - I am - but I will get by, somehow. It may be (a temporary) opportunity to clear that backlog of people wanting Omega jobs!

Not sure when my official leave date is, yet - I suspect towards the end of June.

TBH - a month off in the summer tinkering with cars might be just what the Doc ordered ;D

That's because James is a young chap with a positive attitude and you're just a grumpy old git. ;D
