    Quite the reason I'm amazed - darsy regurgitating hackneyed film lines?
    I'm truly shocked. Perhaps it's the result of an anxiety.

    I officially enter our "risk of redundancy" process from next Monday.
    That's making me fairly anxious.

    No, you probably gulp it and put the up turned glass on your head.

    I don't actually expect to be made redundant. But, we're having a re-
    organisation, and as from Monday, my current position technically[1]
    ceases to exist in the org-chart, so by (the company's) definition,
    this marks me as a "risk of redundancy" until I apply for and
    hopefully get a position in the new org.

    [1] of course, throughout this highly motivational time I'll still be
    expected to do my current job[2] until the rest of the org adjusts
    around the lack of it.
    [2] and, assuming I get something else, both jobs at once for a while.

    If this is an attempt to scam the free place on the trip, it won't
    work ;-)

    This happenes every 2 or 3 years at my place, after a couple of goes
    it's just something to laugh off, or at.

    not at all - if I do get made redundant, I'll walk away with over £20K
    net.

    oh, sure - it's pretty much exactly 3 years since we had the last one
    here.

    However, last time it was to split one department - Information/
    Business Systems in two, forming: Information Technology and Change
    Management. This meant an increase in the number of management
    positions.

    Guess what this re-org is doing and what impact this has on the number
    of management positions?

    I don't like quite a lot of alchohol to be honest. I do like beer though
    ;)

    Not a lot of fun even so. I went through this process twice in the
    NHS, which keeps getting re-organised - it would have four or five
    times had I not been working in hospitals.

    exactly - in terms of both looks and attitudes he comes across as
    being much closer to 60.

    Damn, I can't find the special piece of bullshit from your CV to re-

    Yeah, but surely you don't want to get to 50-something and have a "what
    if" moment. Seize the moment!
