Risky business (minus the hookers… and Tom Cruise, thankfully)
Awww buggar, t’would seem that the powers-that-be have finally swung their Sauron like gaze towards me and wondered; “WTF does he do?”
So I now find myself, just before Christmas, in the position of having my role officially classed as “at risk”. As my manager helpfully put it at my 1:1 interview; “It’s not you, but your role that’s at risk”. I think I feel better.
However, I am taking this rather positively and am not *too* down. It doth give me the opportunity to see what new adventures are available out there and I have about 6 months in which to do it in (or possibly 12 if you read the rather vague HR document in another way; head slanted at a jaunty 30 degree angle kind of way).
That's me that is..
So I am currently calling upon the mighty powers of Web 2.0, and sacrificing my first born upon its altar (sorry Alex but the Internet is a cruel, yet just, deity) to see what can be found for a jobbing IT Guru without actually getting up from my seat… well actually this blog post comes more from a Pod than a seat, but I’m painting a picture here…
…fin!

Another company too dumb to realise what they’ve got. I still reckon that lap-dancing researcher role is right up your street . . .
