Rollercoaster of emotions time!

Yesterday's mood was one of pure, unadulterated anger. Overnight, this has turned into anxiety and sadness, including lack of sleep. 

I've been through my fair share of redundancies over the years. The worst one was when I was due to get married and the company I was working for decided it was going to downsize and move into deepest, darkest Essex from Kingston upon Thames. Having spent a not inconsiderable amount of money on the wedding and honeymoon (Bora Bora, then two weeks in New Zealand), it was too late to do anything. So I went and got married whilst unemployed. Went to one of the most expensive places on Earth—unemployed. Backpacked around one of the most beautiful countries on Earth—unemployed. If it weren't for savings, I'd be royally buggered.
