Back On The Market, Again

My contract has been cut short by two months. This is incredibly inconvenient, as the government is bringing in new tax laws to effectively make contracting so worthless, it will destroy the entire industry. I've written to my local member of parliament, and it seems big businesses also don't want this law passed, but seeing as how governments aren't very good at listening to people, I don't think we're going to come out of this with our way of life intact.

The potential temporary light at the end of the tunnel for me is that this contract might need me back in about two months. But knowing business, it'll be longer than that. And what with the four months I had off last year, I really can't afford much more time off at the moment. All we can do it pray at this point.

A New Dawn

Great Britain & Northern Ireland are now officially out of the European Union. Well, on paper anyway. We're still "in" the Union, for all intents and purposes, until the end of the year, when we've got a trade and immigration deal in place. Dad has his residency here in England confirmed, as has every other European I know in the country, so that's good news.

I worked from home yesterday, as I thought that it might get a bit violent in London, with the protesters clashing with the celebrations, but luckily nothing happened. I'm also working from home on Monday, as I need to have my stitches taken out, and get a blood test to find out why my beard is falling out. The reason I have stitches in my leg is because I had a lump taken out. There was a chance it could be cancer, but luckily that wasn't the case.
