WELL DONE ANDY !!!!

I hope it's the good move you have been looking for, I am sure Amy is over the moon too!

When do you start?

When are you taking me for a beer to mark the occasion?

Cheers

Cris.

I'm waiting for the letter (which should arrive tomorrow) before I give my notice in. But it should be a month of which I've got 2 and a 1/2 weeks of annual to take before I go. So I should start at the end of September. It looks like I have to hit the ground running, they want their new broadcast center up and running by xmas.

Let me know when you're in Manchester next and we can go out and celebrate, although we are going to York on Saturday, so maybe we could meet up in Leeds if you're over there?

Mmmmm Digging in 11m of fence and putting up a deck this weekend, so I'm not going to be much fun. Feel free to pop around, but you will have to make your own Cuppa, unless you talk nice to Nicola

Will any nice BBC gear be leaving with you?

Cheers

Cris.

I'm hoping they'll let me take my toolkit with me, I've also got an old crotch cooker of a P4 laptop that I'm hoping they won't miss. I think it's unlikely they'll let me take my new 20 inch Dell TFT though.

Decided the deal was worth the risk.

So far so good, there is a little more light bleed than on the other, but I would be really nit picking then, it won't bother me.

So what's the new job title then?

Cheers

Cris.

Congratulations Andy! Was confident you'd get it from what you said.

Minions, eh...nice!

Thanks guys, there will be two people working in my department. I hope we'll be able to get along and there won't be too awkward as it sounds like they might be older than me.

On a related note, I found a suitable resignation letter on http://www.i-resign.com/uk/home/ there's some corkers on there.

Do they have any idea that you have got another job?

Decided to tell my project manager just as we got into a meeting this morning. He looked quite upset.

If you were offered a better deal would you stay where you are ?

Although I know this sort of thing doesn't work at all at BT, if you try that sort of thing on they just replace you with another number.

I love working for a big corp, it's great! (I don't think so!)

Cheers

Cris.

It would have to be a pretty bloody spectacular offer for me to stay.

Nope, I'm happy to work for a company with 30 employees of which I'll be responsible for 20% of them. There's only the ops director between me and the big boss too. Working for a company the size of the BBC (or indeed BT) eventually just got to me. Too many chiefs and not enough indians.

You do right - said with feeling by a man who worked for a big company, got fed up and started his own!
Incidentally: York this weekend they're giving out warnings to avoid the A64, because of the Leeds festival at Bramham. M62, Jcn 34 and follow the A19 could be the thing to do.

s'okay, I just asked tomtom to avoid the a64 and it took us a little further up the A1/M1 instead, no problems at all. In fact we took the a64 back and it was fine.

The motorway signs said it was shut and it still said it coming back so it must've been quite serious.
