Looks like I don't have to take any time of to go to Lightning Ride FarRide...

..cos I won't be at work      

Work is offering me to go away more that a year earlier than I was planning, and pay me reasonably well for doing the right thing     After recent times at work  the decison is reasonably easy       or 

I would start a poll, but no need to 

Early May would be a great time to go if they agree, but 1 June is the latest.

I don't think you've thought this through properly saaz

Very nice - The Mrs and I took redundancy at 39 and went out and started new careers. I hope you enjoy your life change :)

Good - OzSTOC may have a high paying position coming up for a bright young spark like yourself Mr Nagle. (Since you will have more time than activities shortly).

Trouble is, you have to get a character reference from Brock to be considered as a candidate.

Sounds like a job I don't really need, but as he is overseas somewhere (he was a bit secretive about where)

Sounds like they beat you to the punch by a bit.

About 15 years ago I worked for a company in Adelaide who were going through some tough financial times, so me and her-in-doors decided that we would go back to the Middle East and make some real money for a couple of years. We both went through interview processes for jobs in different industries, mine in Aviation, hers in Nursing, and both got offered jobs in the same city for different companies to start 4 weeks hence. So I decided that on the Friday morning I was going to go see my boss and quit. So come the day I go and knock on his door, and he says come in and that he has something he needs to talk to me about, and before I can tell him I am handing in my resignation, he tells me that the Company has decided that they are going to be forced to make me redundant. I burst out laughing, which really confused him 'cause he'd never seen that response to a redundancy meeting before. Any, long story short, had he waited another minute or so it would have saved him a whole bunch of money, but I was pleased because it all went nicely into our bank account!

Cheers

I was going to go early next July anyway, but if I get paid to stay at home/do other things for more than a year (with a bit extra on top) then who am I to argue. We will be losing 20% of staff in the next 2 years, so I don't want to be one of the ones left with all the work.
