Someone's moved my cheese
Discussion
Worked with a particular client for a decade. The writings on the wall seem to have been there for a while, but I think the removal company has finally turned up for the Cheese.
Fortunately I've got other parts to the business and have further diversification planned.
Exciting times ahead.

Can you expand - sounds interesting
I suppose I need to be a little careful.It's a corporate business who has retained me to look after their occupational for close to 15 years. Part of a much larger business, there has been push for centralising core services for a few years. We ran our part well, and I've survived, with the support of the local business several raids on my position.
In the past couple of years a lot of people have changed, locally and centrally, and I have been reporting to the local business through the 'corporate' personnel. I have very much been side-lined with all the interesting work cherry picked, and the duff left for me.
I've done a little fighting to keep it, but to a degree my heart is not in it. I'm tired of watching my back, and not particularly keen on the level of work as it is at present. I'll see what happens in the next few days
So that's the now....
I've already diversified into drawing Land Reg compliant floor plans. That's built in the last few years into a busy business, albeit one that involves a lot of travelling, and I am quite exposed to one particularly active client. I've tried to grow it a couple of times with extra people, but it's a difficult jump to make, with the largest actually getting the work in and queries answered when I'm on the road so much...
I have another diversification planned. Needs some training which I'm doing next week. It links nicely into plans, but is a tad different...
I've only just read the Cheese Story. I quite liked it. Saw quite a few similarities. I did not get upset at being in a rats nest, as I don't think the interpretation should be too literal...
