Oh good grief ...

This week remains unhelpful.

Finger is broken (though not badly, all will be well once it stops hurting), then poor young Heath, and now MY MAGAZINE HAS FOLDED!

Now, I do not grow deeply attached to titles and workplaces for the very reason that I am familiar with the vagaries of publishing, but I really enjoyed working there and it was with the smartest and most interesting team I had ever encountered. So ... BUGGER!

Will be fine, there is redundancy pay so I do not need to dip into savings, and I also have three weeks' leave even after the hols, just ... BUGGER!

At least I can now spend a few more days in New Zealand than I looked like being able to. That's good. And if the pay-out comes through quickly and some writing gigs fall into place, I can make it up to Welly for a bit and badger people for more work! And June in Paris is back on the agenda! So really, there are plenty of silver linings, I'll just miss my workmates.

Heheh, yes, I recall your post about confusing over how Australians pronounce and shorten words. *g* But yay to you for being part of our fly-swallowing, beetroot-loving culture now. :D

(Please don't be tempted by the New Zealanders' way of life, though I hope you have fun. *g*)

... apologies, but I need to clarify. Apparently when you say 'bean counters', you're actually referring to your financial planner? I'm presuming he/she was the cause of your magazine being 'folded'. :(

In other news...

Happy Birthday! *hugs* I hope you have a lovely day, and that your hand is recovering well. :D

I will admit I laughed a lot. Although technically the injury was a result of the game rather than part of the game itself. Basically, my friend got angry because she was losing and jumped on the opposing player who fell over and somehow managed to fall on my friend's foot.


Her foot was broken in 5 places! It was so weird because it wasn't that big of a fall!

I have to say that New Zealand is very tempting, but there are too many Australians I love for me to depart for their small, green shores. I just fly over when I need a shot of reasonable weather and clean air.

These particular bean counters were the accountants of the private equity firm who bought out a major stake in the publishing house. My mag was uneconomical, apparently. Sigh. I remember when business had space for sentiment.

Thank you dear! It has been lovely, I should go and post about it!

I'm sorry to hear about your bad, but I hear it's your birthday.

I wanted to wish you a wonderful day. :)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Things have definitely been looking up today!

If I have another major trauma you will be the first person I call!

It's nearly four am and it is still too hot to sleep. Will very happily average!

:g: Sadly, I'm a bit too far away to come at a minute's notice and coo calmingly at you.

Yeah, I know, we had that sort of summer - and it was wtf hot for our region. I wanted to shed my skin all the time. But it was a perfect day today -despite the two remaining feet of snow- blue skies and bright sun, and we did snowmen.

...

Okay, we didn't do them, made them, but that was an interesting image anyway. :g: My brain's too sleepy to type foreign languages.
