Advice please,

If your name was Tom and you wanted to get into audiobook narration/radio/anything spoken word based and wanted to start a youtube channel posting voiceover examples/stories etc. What would you name said channel? Keep it simple or not?

Best of luck James. If I was asked to train my replacement and I wasn't leaving on my own accord I would throw such a wrench in the works.
Yep.

It's looking fairly certain that my job is going overseas so back to the hunt. I have been asked by several people to represent the workers in negotiations which I would be proud to do and would benefit me because it would mean my last few weeks in the office wouldn't be spent trying to get people to work with the knowledge that they'll be sacked.
You on the hunt for anything in particular jobwise?

Nope. Something close to my house and several steps from dealing with the public that pays more than I was getting in the current place.

Cheerful change of plans: they're going to promote me instead.

I'm still working to save a few other jobs in the mean time.

Thank you. One of the job roles which was safe had someone hand in their notice and, while I have to interview, I'm told it's mine. To quote Blackadder, I'm as happy as a man who thought a cat had done its business on his pie, but it turned out to be an extra big blackberry.
