What is it Wednesday? + Uncertainty for Christmas

Well here I go again,

What do you think this one is? With my Aussie eye I think this is an easier one than last week. But I guess we'll see ;-)

Well our Government has decided to cut numbers in the Victorian public service by 10% over the next two years.

Personally I'm not worried, they can't cut me very easily without cutting the program I run for them (and they just made it ongoing). Also, I am fairly employable so if they did let me go I'd find something else. But I have to say a lot of my colleagues are feeling very let down at getting that message at Christmas time.

Also contrary to my expectations before joining the public service last year things are pretty lean in terms of staffing levels. How the work will get done is a mystery to me.
