The Dinky household

Good news! Garry has found himself a job. He starts work on Monday as a Business Analyst, working full time in a permanent position for a consulting firm based in the centre of London. His first client assignment is with an institutional fund management company. Garry thinks that the job offers opportunities to develop his knowledge in new areas of the finance industry.

Garry met with the MD today and agreed final terms and conditions for his employment contract. As of November 27, we're a Dinky household once again (Double Income, No Kids). Garry's been wonderfully patient after more than a year without work. Aside from a brief ten week contract in April/May this year he's been house-bound, cooking meals and surfing the Internet.

I'm thrilled that he's finally found work that furthers his career, gives him a decent income and restores his independence. It's also handy that he'll have a relatively short commute - less than 45 minutes door-to-door. Short commutes are a luxury in London. I have staff that travel up to two hours every day by train which isn't an uncommon occurrence.
