Well, it appears that I am leaving the company and starting a new life outside. I am being made redandant. I am very sad about it after 22 years but I have changed from being very stressed and obsessed about my work to being hopeful about the future. I am only working 8 hours days – amazing! Of course it’s a 9 day wonder and I am talking to more people in the office and the phone about it so probably the next month will be the most enjoyable in a long time.
It feels like the company is a vast cruise liner with bright lights and soon I will be seeing it from the distance rather than being on it. That made me feel depressed until I realised that ships come along all the time. I don’t have to choose a bleak hulk just because it’s there – I can wait till a friendly boat comes along. See – optimism abounds.
