Challenges

Life is full of peaks and troughs, and I suppose I have hit one of those troughs. In my personal life, self development (sounds narcissistic I know), and health, feel I am growing and improving. But nothing is smooth sailing for ever, that is the nature of things.

I have been told today that my employment is going to cease and to look for another job. Apparently in these economic times, they don't want workers who can only work part-time, as it costs employers too much money. And that is true, I can't argue with that. My problem is I cannot work full time, due to physical limitations. Whilst I really aspire to work full time in the future, I know I am not there yet. I struggle, not always on a daily basis, but close. Some days much better than others.
I suppose I am in a state of shock, as have been assured verbally on many occasions that I would be made permanent, and that my job was secure.

Trying to think of budget strategies, starting today. I did not go to the supermarket on the way home, making do with whats in the fridge, and I definitely need to cut out my morning soy latte. The budget thing is already buzzing around in my brain. The good thing is someone forwarded a job advertisement, for part-time work in an area I have some experience (health education). It is only another contract, but it goes for 12 months, and maybe by then I will be well enough to work full time, or work in a more physically demanding job? I just don't know. I have just received funding application for a project I am working on in my current job? What about the other projects I am working on at the moment? (I work in health education and health promotion with adolescents). I'm a bit at a loss. I am applying for this other job, but I love my job where I work at the moment. Trying not to panic, just trying to think about one thing at a time, maybe tomorrow morning will bring some clarity.
