Ba...Ba..Boom!

[Scruff]

Just accepted my Boom! from IBM, midst voluntary (and rumoured non-voluntary) redundancies.

Offered 31 Dec - accepted beginning August (24 month rule). Off to Cape Town for 4 weeks holiday on 02 Feb and they are happy for me to work for a week from there, remotely.

Was wondering if I can claim any expenses during my week whilst working there? Travel / Subsistence / Internet+Mobile phone - scratches head

Surely the Internet access!

Well, if they don't boot me out, I'll be in Cape Town again this year, 21-25 Feb, maybe see you for pizza again?

Excellent news! There is also a VMUG in Cape Town end Feb, so will be at that too.

I wouldn't be in a rush to spend any of THAT money before you receive it

Better start looking for new contract...

Funny guys!

My renewal will take me to 5.5 years there, so let's see if I survive the cull? At the end of the day, they have been more than good to me, as a Supplier of Services. If it comes to end, sooner rather than later, as long as I get my Cape Town (holiday + working week), I will be a happy-camper...
