Really off colour.

I had a great weekend after the WBA trip. So was kind of on a mini-high on Monday am.

I now find my best work pal has been made redundant this afternoon and I havent taken it well.

Really gutted. I suppose s**t happens and we knew there would be cuts. But he's one of the good guys and there are loads of useless middle managers about doing f**k all.
