Theres been a bit of radio silence from La Casa Dandruff over the last couple of months. I was made redundant at the end of July (becase the Pharamaceutical industry doesn't need research scientists according to the ICE bean counters).
Now theres a few of you that might point out that this seems to be a dream come true. I'm finding its not. a couple of hours a night modeling relaxing from a stressful job is quite nice. When theres no job, no stress and infinite time, one tends to drift somewhat. I'm still in the 5 stages of grief, but they all seem to be piling in at the same time. Plus theres a current dearth of scince jobs in this country, and I'm down to single figures for retirement which never bodes well. I got asked at a support appointment "so what do you see as your dream job". My reply was "I've just been fired from it." I suppose I could try Bunnings given I already know exactly where everything is located in their stores. A plus is that the lady of the house is currently enjoying having a "Homme d'Maison"
So tomorrow the lady of the house and I are off to Japan for 3 weeks (planned in March and a break for both of us will be nice). I hope to come back somewhat healed and releaxed as its time to find a new career.

Not good news at all, and alot of it currently going around unfortunately. Hope the holiday goes well !
Chin up mate, it's a tough time but it will get better.
My oldest brother and his wife are currently in transit to Fukuoka for a few weeks in Japan. Would love to return after our 1 and only trip in 1985. All the best for a reset when you return. Travelling overseas not only makes you appreciate NZ more, but is also helpful for clearing the fog from your head (some people would question that comment, regarding my train of thoughts though)
Beaka, can you contact me, I have a couple of questions for you....
