So almost a month has gone by since I visited my blog page. I hope to increase my contributions as time goes on.

Since my last visit I have actively started looking for work. This is a strange experience for someone about to turn 47 and who has been in a company for over 13 years... suddenly I feel very old & overlooked.

I'm sure that these are normal thoughts for anyone experiencing redundancy and I keep telling myself that it is meaningless self pitying but it is still a strange state of mind. Perhaps there is an avenue for a "bloke" self support group where members tell each other to "get over it" and "get on with it"....
