Slightly annoyed

Jesus did 'righteous anger' when he kicked the moneychangers and rip-off merchants out of the temple. I think I'm about to do a spot of it, albeit remotely and aimed at some Dutch people and venture capitalists that I've never met.

It's coming up for one year since I left work, the fortunate consequence of a round of redundancies. I learnt today that there's another round - that's the second lot since I left, the third in a year. Facts are few and far between, and I'm trying to find out more so that I can pray for the situation in an informed, rather than ignorant, manner, but what I know so far is that the teams that I left are being hacked about, despite record breaking performance over the last couple of years. It's heart-breaking to think that people's lives are being ripped apart when they've worked so hard. Their reward - a P45.

I've realised today that I haven't missed the daily slog of driving to Southampton, of staring at spreadsheets, graphs and meeting minutes for endless hours. What I have missed is the company of certain individuals, good friends, and human company with a face. As opposed to a faceless company with no heart.

Whilst my new 'employer' may be another faceless organisation, we're certainly in the business of having a heart and caring for people. I'm looking forward to that bit.
