From my initial naivety that my new home existed in some kind of idyllic economic, social bubble, i've just found out otherwise to the harshest degree. About 6 of my friends from staff housing/work all got laid off with absolutely no warning or compensation yesterday, hard decisions have to be made but to this extent is disagreeable to say the least. Basically these peoples plans for life or at least a gap year have just been totally fucked over, some may stay in the area, some not, but everyones definitely going to be walking on eggshells for the next few months. I'm reasonably certain my job is safe due to being understaffed initially but who knows.
On a lighter note, Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana had dinner together in our restaurant last night, and one of our mates walked past the Wolverine with knives between his fingers for the whole night, applaudable.
