Got Made Redundant Today......
Which was nice........... 
and no, I have no idea why I'm posting it on here 
So anyway, as I have - if you're in the North West and need an Architectural Technologist I might be able to help you out 
Should I post anything later on btw please bear in mind I may be very very drunk.....
lol....

Sorry to hear that  Ive been made redundant twice before and fear a third.
Only strange thing is that it has ended up as a slight aggravation both times so far and ive ended up with a better job almost before the cheque was
cashed.
Architectural technologist........mmmmm........sounds like a good job that does. I had a secret desire to be an architect once.
Enjoy your beer. Once the bitterness of being made redundant subsides im sure the prospect of a new opportunity will be quite exciting.

Bad luck mate, but as darren said above, it's not always bad.
Happened to me a few years ago and was the shove I actually needed. Ended up working for myself and am
much happier these days.
Hope it all works out for you.

Thats not good at all:-( did notice you job title though?? I am a Police officer and work as one of the Police archetectural liaison officers working
with planners and developers to design crime out of new developments prior to planning being approved etc etc, just a thought... but Police forces all
over the country are recruiting officers for this sort of post as civilians as well as police officers. Might be worth have a look at your local
forces and get in touch?? That is if you still want to be in this type of work?? Good luck with the job hunting ..., silver lining and all that.

Thanks guys, I'm genuinely touched
To be honest I probably needed a kick up the arse anyway and I have been here before and, as has been said, it's usually ended up being a step
forward rather than a step backward.
And yes, oddly enough, it is actually quite exciting wondering what's next :-) In 2 months time if there's nothing on the horizon it wont
be quite as exciting obviously

Sorry to hear that. There's never a right time for it to happen, but at least you're not one of the others left with more work, less pay
and less certainty.
Speaking from experience as someone who's walked before for being asked to sell myself out, take your time, relax if you can and give yourself
chance to choose your next move.
