Nobody said it was going to be easy, as a line from one of my favourite television programmes of all time inferred.
This morning, I awoke from my slumber, got showered and started to get ready to go to work.
As usual, I switched the TV on and staring back at me was a picture of an aircraft with a familiar colour scheme and a familiar spotty M on the tail.
Instantly, I knew it wasn`t good news and that proved to be the case.
It turned out that the airline, of part of the group of companies I work for, had gone into administration.
I trudged to work not knowing if I had a job or not, thankfully I still did as the Engineering arm of the group of companies I work for was still trading as a separate entity.
But the sad sight of so many fellow work-mates being told they were redundant was a shock to the system.
Later, as I walked past the TV in the office, I noticed the awful goings on in Las Vegas, a city I have an affection for,
Fifty slaughtered and hundreds injured by some mad son of a bitch firing away from the 32nd floor of a hotel that backs onto the one my wife and I use when we go to the strip.
A shocking start to the week and my thoughts go out to all those who lost their jobs at Monarch Airlines this morning and also to the families of all those affected by the awful events in Las Vegas.
