£612.95 and the Departure Lounge

No not the final amount for the Comic Relief shave-a-thon (that was around 400 quid if John A ever gets around to collecting it). Its the cost of 4 tickets to this years Leeds music festival.

By a lot of luck I managed to get four tickets (Russ,Vicki,Nick and Myself) after we had given up all hope. All the websites where saying they had all run out. Russ had been trying the night before but they were all overloaded. So we thought it was going to be like last year with the tickets going before you have any real chance to get them. But fortunately I tried again just before lunch time and one of the sites let me thru and buy some.

So far its an interesting line up and should be good

In other news the Company Departure Lounge, what we call it when someone has resigned and is on their notice period, got two shock arrivals.

Reno, who you may remember as the one who bust his arm boarding and Craig the Lord of Dark things musical and Tech support.

Reno is off to a Mortgage company who look after their DBAs (his job) better than here.

Craig on the other hand is one of the handful of original company employees and as such did quite well out of the parent company buying the company and so has decided he can't be bothered working any more and is going off to travel and write scary music.

It's no understatement to say that this place won't be the same without them.
