    On Monday morning I was in a good mood for a change. Seems like ages since I last had something to smile and laugh about, but its ok, it didn’t last.

    I learnt that as the factory was on short time, I would be spending my last two working days completely alone in the factory. This happened last week as well, but I had thought that after 14 years, I perhaps deserved slightly better this week?

    To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. I felt utterly miserable.

    After 14 years building up the company, dragging it kicking and screaming into the 20th Century, just in time for the beginning of the 21st Century, having given up countless days off, sacrificed weekends, and spending half to one third of my time out o the country for the last 2 years without a single extra penny in wages, I had thought I deserved better than to be expected to slip away quietly, unnoticed, and unappreciated.

    My Co Director it seems is hiding away at our European factory, and really does want me to just disappear quietly in the night. Thankfully our accounts lady had already decided that that wasn't going to be the case, even if she had to come in unpaid, she would come in anyway. Someone else has decided that she is having none of it either, and will be joining us for a morning of cake eating, tea drinking, reminiscing and gossiping.

    FAB :-)
