The age of the meaning of life the universe and everything!

Post: # 153069Post Milims »

Yup that's me! 42 today! :cheers: It's been a strange one. I've had the quiet kind of birthday I like, but I was told that my work contract isn't being renewed. When my head of dept et al heard they were gutted! So I feel sad that I'm not going to continue in a job that I've really enjoyed but happy that I'm appreciated! Funny isn't it that a negative situation can actually make you feel quite good! :?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hi
Sorry I didn't get there in time. I hope you had a nice day today anyway. Shame about the contract though.

Happy birthday

Happy 42nd! We are the same age, give or take a few months. Interestingly, my age is now the same as my shoe size. I don't know if that is significant at all.

Missed it too - but best belated wishes! :cheers:

Me too - but belated birthday wishes are winging their way down to you.

Sorry to hear about the job but it is good that you've been appreciated and hopefully something new will come very soon - things happen for a reason :mrgreen:
