And so does Random Comments.Īnd here we are (slightly delayed), reviewed work number two-hundred. Despite the best efforts of my manager, as of tomorrow, I am officially unemployed. I won't bore you with the details of Dutch labour law but renewing my contract turned out to be a bit a drama. As I mentioned in my previous post, my attention was diverted by a situation at work. My apologies for the interruption in reviews and other new content lately.
