Post #2944440
I was at a professional conference this week. It was really good, but also really hard. I wanted to have things to reflect on for my practice, but it somehow felt that I had too much to reflect on, and I couldn't process it all. I'm not sure I have ever had that before. @autistics

A while back I posted about the uncertainty I was facing about whether my contract would get extended. I now have greater certainty. Despite intending to extend my contract, somehow my (former) employer somehow didn't make it happen. So, more clarity about my current circumstances. The ambiguity has shifted to when (if) they will sort it out, and how long it could take me to get a new job. I'm comparatively lucky (we have savings), but boy it sucks. @autistics

@autistics After a few days of prolonged contact with people, today is a WFH day with no scheduled meetings. BLISS.

@SilverArrows @autistics I'm not an expert on this area. With that caveat, I'd suggest speaking to your union rep. They will have a better understanding about how things play out in practice at your organisation.

@autistics I'm a few weeks away from the end of my contract. Unofficially, I'm getting extended. It still hasn't been confirmed by the organisational machinery. I'm getting more worked up and irritable. It's like I have to contain two realities: one where I'm thinking long-term about work plans, one where I'm trying to find a job while unemployed. I half feel that if they said they'd let me go, at least that would be certainty.

@autistics I am reconciling myself to getting nothing useful done at work today. I am basically trying to resolve 4-5 issues. Any one of them would be reasonably minor (in the sense that they can all be dealt with before there is an impact). The combination of them in my brain is leaving me with nothing left for useful thinking. At least one of these I could have avoided with more thinking ahead. Pretty much all would be avoided if people kept each other updated. Argh.
