Moving

[flexi]

Hi all,
Well after 16 years in the same job, it's time to move on (redundancy). I have been very fortunate to have set up a woodworking workshop and been able to turn in my lunch or after work, not anymore at the moment (or at least until I set up another.) It's taken over a week to move tools and blanks and I have only found 1 rouge 7mm bushing not bad ehh.... Time to look for another container!

Get something with windows this time, Mark.

@flexi ….

Unfortunately/fortunately….
So I’m afraid I’m in the same boat job wise (17yrs and a month when I leave), but don’t have anything new yet, however my garage is my workshop so at least I don’t have to move that….
All the best mate…. A quote from a friend in the same boat as us…. ‘Good things happen to good people’
I know it was just a numbers thing by some non-people person looking at spreadsheets, and I’m hoping he meant we were good people, so hopefully the next opportunity ends up being better!

Best of luck on your new journey Mark. I hope it all works out for you.

Good luck Mark.

Amazing to see your adapted shipping container. Is it true that, after being in there turning pens for a few hours, when you come out you’re always in a different country?

Here’s hoping you get set up in a new workshop very soon!

Cheers
Ash

Sorry to hear about the redundancy, i went through that in 2001, it was not good. Got another job straight away but hate the guy i worked under. Got myself another job and stayed there till I retired in 2013.
Hope yours turns out better

Sad news mate. Hope you have the workshop up and running soon. If you get withdrawal symptoms and need of some therapy then a day out down here may help tea supplied FOC

Happened to me at ages 55 and 62.5 when I then retired.all the best for you mate.

happened to me two years back. Has worked out well so far , although not turning as much as I used to currently as enjoying work too much

Best wishes that the same happens for you Mark
