I've put light hearted because I'm not looking for a definitive decision, more of a wwyd thing.

Been with current job 15 years. Company has switched to running cloud apps so my job as a server admin is not really needed. Nothing's been said but I predict redundancy is on its way.

I've been offered a new job with 90% security ( gov dept).

Do I stay or go?

I'm over 60 and need to keep earning for at least 10 more years.

I'm thinking - stay, get potential redundancy and use the payout to spend 3 months looking for work. Risk is at my age and mid level tech role the jobs are few and far between.

Or, take the offered job and start again with probation and building up the years etc. Risk is I might not like the work, might be less flexible than my current job, my current place might not have redundancy so I could have stayed etc.

So, wwyd or what advice would you give someone in my position? I'm really crap at predicting life scenarios lol

I have many tattoos but I've moved to a new area and have lost touch with my old tattoo community. I used to go to Andy Barber in New Malden but it's been over 10 years since I got any work done.

So I'm hoping for some solid recs for artists near by. Looking for small designs - birds (fairly realistic, not cartoons), script and maybe some touch ups on an upper arm sleeve.

Ugh, it's that time of year again. I managed to kill all the eggs last year but I only found 3 or 4 bugs all summer. This year I'm seeing up to 10 bugs a day 😭

Let battle commence.

In other (sad) news the crow that attacked the pigeon nest has also destroyed the goldfinch nest 😪
