I went paintballing again yesterday. With the inclement weather conditions and the fact that we are still in the holiday period, I wasn’t expecting many people to be attending.

Well, it’s the last day of work for me today.
Not just the last day of work before Christmas, but the last day of work completely.
I am to be considered a victim of the latest round of redundancies to hit the company.
