And it’s goodbye from me
« on: April 01, 2013, 08:36:36 AM »
Well it’s official now.

My employer is sending me off to the Isle of Barra for 3 to 4 months.

I will be stationed in a remote part of the island and won’t have internet access.

Aggghhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't suppose there is anything I can do. :( :( :(

oh H !! no,,, we will miss you.   As you know I am familiar with your firm from my investigating commercial opportunities north of the boarder late last year......they were really helpful.  I notice the announcement on their website  www.asandj.co.uk .......not sure whether congratulations are in order....or not !!!  Sure the sheep will think its christmas.

For what its worth.....I have over 100 years experience in HR and run a consultancy based in Cambridge.  In terms of can you do anything about this, it all depends whether there is a mobility clause in your contract of employment...it pays to read the small print .... happy to check it out for you if I can be of help xx

Oh no, 3-4 months without daft quizzes  where all the answers are wrong anyway??!!

At least you made the website, I don't think you've ever been on that before: http://www.asandj.co.uk/news.asp?newsid=22

Looking forward to 3-4 months of easier admin already.
