Four Months and Counting

Well I've been told I have until the end of April here to look forward to at least. Peter, my English buddy was only told today, but I was told about a week or so back (he's in a different team). There was a bit of a panic generally with the remaining contractors, as they were being pushed unusually close to deadline day before being told. One of our team, Isabelle appears to be leaving next Tuesday, although we hope there may be a late reprieve, but it looks like another of the Audio team bites the dust. That's number 4 out of the original 12 when I started, and I guess there will be more croissants - not good. I won't be here for them on Tuesday though, as I will be returning to Manchester for a few days this coming weekend, mainly for the final SEMC leaving do. My carrier this time is Air France, and the flights are quite a bit more expensive than the BA flights I got last time, but the connection times are very much better. I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to make use of the dirt cheap BMI Baby direct flights that are running during summer, as they're not all that convenient, timetable wise, for someone working, and there aren't that many flights anyway and are subject to oversubsription.
