A day to remember
Friday, November 7th, 20085 November dawned grey and brooding in London. It is, of course, a day already immortalised by Guy Fawkes. This year it also became the dawning of a new era with the first “black president” of America. On a somewhat less planetary-scale, a new era dawned for me too as I (Tom speaking here by the way), rather abruptly, found my job in the city had vaporised.
I’m overplaying the drama, aren’t I? Alright, continuing more plainly…
Many of you will react with shock and sympathy. Thank you. But let me allay your concerns. We’re generously provided for and can easily see off quite a long period without any income. In this, we see the hand of God. In fact the whole thing has his mark on it.
What will I do next? For now, I am contractually obliged to enjoy a long period of “gardening leave” until my notice period expires. After that? Well watch this space…
