it ain't over till the fat lady sings

no, i'm not referring to me. wahaha.

anyways, had another roadshow today (and for the rest of the week) at the poly near my place. yeah, u know the one. my senior exec and i were there with 4 advisers, so once we got them set up, we went for brekkie.

over brekkie, we talked about the current department review. apparently he's of the same opinion as me- that it's gonna be over soon, just a question of when. he said he's been getting a very strong gut feeling that it's gonna happen. i was like, hmm me too. the signs are all there. our ads that we scheduled have all been cancelled. we have been instructed to hold all the tie ups with 3rd parties that we've been working on. we've got time to spare at work. hot news just in- one of the general managers just tendered. huge shake up under the new ceo indeed.

so what's next? funny enough, both of us are looking forward to getting let go, cos the compensation would be pretty ok. he's been working here for a lot longer than i have, so obviously his compensation would be a lot more attractive than mine. we're not interested in getting transferred to another dept, cos we reckon we need a kick up the arse to start looking for a job seriously. getting pretty darn excited by the prospect of the department dissolving... which leads me to believe that i'm probably missing the cloud for the silver lining. hmm interesting.

if and when this happens... i'm getting giddy already with all the opportunities that have suddenly unfolded in front of me. extend my europe trip? no prob. look for work overseas? no worries. work part time while building up my own business? sorted. stay in this industry at another company and make an obscene amount of moolah by the time i'm 30? consider it done. the last option would probably be the quick fix cos the rest would take a little bit more time... guess i should start updating my resume then.

seeeee i'm way too optimistic for my own good. shouldn't i be stressed by the prospect of losing my job? wouldn't u be?? i'm actually looking forward to it. wahlau. something wrong with me.

6 weeks to EU07!! can't wait!!
