Looks like I'm safe from redundancy at the moment, but things are still really up in the air. Having to take on lots more work, and waiting to have a meeting with my manager today about everything. Hopefully things will make more sense later on today.
I've had a bit of an epiphany this morning though, I'm sitting here at my work computer wondering what it's all for?! We've had so much sh*t happening over the last few weeks here, and obviously in the world, and I'm just really starting to think about what's important. I realise that although I need to work to pay off my debts, it's not the be all and end all of existance. 
A colleague of mine, Bob is not in work this morning as his wife has cancer. She was diagnosed just before Christmas, just a few weeks after their daughter gave birth to their first grandchild. We knew she was very poorly, but found out this morning that she only has a matter of days to live. My ex-colleague Carol (who took voluntary redundancy last week) found out her brother has terminal spine cancer and it just seems like there is so much of this happening, it's started to make me think that we all need to start concentrating on the important things in life, like spending time with family and friends, going out and spending time in the fresh air and with nature, doing more things you enjoy and DON'T put off things til tomorrow that you can do today! I know I'm starting to sound like that "Sunscreen" song by Baz Luhrmann, but it's true. This isn't supposed to be a lecture or anything, I just realise that we all need to concentrate on the important things in life, like love and laughter. Don't dwell on negatives. Enjoy life, because we don't know how long we have.

Anyway, I hope you're all well.
Love 'n' stuff, Becky xxxx
