Its all gone Pete Tong

I had a great 2 days at Alton towers (photos are up on facebook and photobucket), I love theme parks. Lots of rides, relaxing, and Ian drowning me in the waterpark. Yay! (although we had a hellish journey up, ending up stuck in Birmingham for an hr after overhead line problems so it took 9hrs instead of 4!)

Then I come home and get a phonecall from a guy at work with some rather shoddy news.

So, after a year of speculating that the big wigs at GSK were running down the Crawley site it's finally happened. They announced its proposed to be closing in three years time, Iv had calls from dozens of people asking about it cos its been all over the local news for a few days now, we've had camera's and whatnot outside the site gates... what a load of fun.

Which leaves me in a bit of a pickle. What the hell do I do with myself once I get made redundant?
I can't see myself applying for a job similar to what I am employed to do now - electrical maintenance. I'd like something a bit more techy, but what! Or Where? I will hopefully have a BEng in electrical and electronic engineering by then, is that likely to help...I hope so, but who knows.

I've not slept great since the news I have to admit, and its likely I will be there at least 2 more years so I better start learning how to relax!!
