Last Day of the Holidays - hopefully!

So there we are.

Tomorrow is the start of a week of full time work, the first in 10 weeks.

Typically, just as I was feeling pretty down about being unemployed I get a phone call asking me if I would like to do some temporary teaching work, possibly full time and probably longer than the six weeks asked for by the company.

I toddle off for an interview, get the work and agree three dates for next week which along with the two days I'm already doing for my old employer takes it to full time.

And then along comes an email inviting me for an interview for one of the other local colleges. This is a permanent position and could lead to other opportunities. I had to jiggle around my days and unfortunately tell the temp employer that I could only do two days and not the three I'd agreed, but at the end of the day I have to do what's best for me and my future.

So this weekend was like an ordinary weekend, getting the house tidied and cleaned and all the jobs done that I wont be able to do next week.

Already I feel better, more energetic, happier. Of course I may not get the permanent position, but at least I know there is some interest out there and I have temporary work for a while.
