    Exactly why I'm not considering PJ20 itself.

    That and I don't see how it can live up to the hype! :D

    Yes, I've been working it all out and it's roughly 1k for PJ20 alone....My first thought would be a quick cruise to CA for 5 shows but yea it really does all add up..not to mention getting time off work and all that.

    I get so show hungry I look at it really optimisitcally, PJ20 looks like there will be no SG so its about £55 a day ticket and all the acts don't interest me but PJ. I get to visit Chicago though too so it's not JUST a weekend for me.

    It' just impossible for Europeans unless you have won the lottery...However I have some 21st birthday money I really need to blow on something!

    Yep...

    They are merging my department with another and have said whilst financial savings is not key they cannot guarantee there will not be job losses. Brilliant.

    That was good of them. Try and find out ASAP.

    Does this change your travel plans?

    Leanne, that sucks. Not just the restructuring, I guess that is inevitable everywhere within the public sector, but the way in which they're treating their staff. Guess that will have a huge impact on your travel plans...

    Speaking of which, I have put in a leave request for 7-16 September inclusive, as it's only 8 working days, and will await the outcome. I was told it's not looking too favourable, but will know by the end of the week. If it's a no go, then so be it.

    TBH I understand they wanted to tell everyone in one go, and we are all based in different offices, so the intention is understandable. It just feels so meh! We shall see!!
    In the meantime, I am still going to look at going away, I will talk it over with my girlies over wine and pizza on Friday. I kind of figure that this is going to keep on happening, so I just have to grit my teeth and hope once again. Hopefully, as it is only in it's infancy as an idea, they will take a few months to sort it out...

    That's a bummer Leanne. This kind of uncertainty is so stressful.

    3 times in 3 years now, though this is billed as integration of teams not formal restructure...

    I will worry, I worry about everything! But I have lots to be getting on with :D
