1) work: There was a meeting for all our staff in Southampton yesterday (I chose now to go) to talk more about the closure of our buildings and whether or not we'll lose our jobs and when that will be. Still no more real news that there already was, though to most that were there, it's fairly clear most of the decisions have already been made but aren't being shared yet. Seems likely we'll know for sure in May about when the closures will actually happen and likely too that we'll have a year or two after that before this building is finally closed down. No idea then what happens about our jobs but for sure I need to seriously start looking, even though there's really nothing out there job-wise. Still, at least I have a little time which is more than a lot of people have, and worst case scenario, I can always sell the flat as a temporary fall back. Whatever, have to wait and see I suppose.

2) hospital: Spoke to the hospital admissions people yesterday and my operation (which was due to take plcae on January 28th) has been cancelled. This is apparently due to lots of cancellations in December so everything is now backing up, and they've no idea at this point when it will be rescheduled. For lots of reasons that I won't bother going into, I was pretty gutted by this. Still am actually, though trying to just not think about it and concentrate on other things.

3) paper legends: The bright spot of my day yesterday - and what I'm focusing on - is that now I know about the operation I was finally able to put up the schedule for

paperlegends. Fair amount of interest so far and I'm really hoping a good amount of people participate and enjoy it as much as they did last year; I certainly plan to focus all my energies on it to make it as successful and stress-free for everyone as I can. If any of you are interested in the schedule you can find it { here }, as well as pimping banners if any of you are so inclined =)

Hope you're all doing okay ♥

I can't believe it! After all the waiting... I'm so sorry they did that to you, and I hope you'll get a new time soon! *hugs tightly*

On the work front, a lot can change in a year or two and you have work experience, which at least around here gives you fairly good chances, so I have faith you'll find a good replacement job if your current building really does close. Or even if it doesn't, if you happen to find something you like better :) Like you said, you still have time. It's a hard position to be in, but I wish you all the luck you could possibly need!

They will finally start showing Merlin here this Spring and I'm already horrified I'll get hooked to yet another series :) I've managed to resist downloading it, mostly because I haven't had time for anything at all, but then it will be so easy to just record it... I can feel my resolve crumbling already! Well, at least I know where to start looking for fanfic if everything else fails :) And I'll definitely post the banner right after I get this posted! Every fandom should have their own Big Bang and I'm always willing to promote :)

*squeezes*

I can't believe it either, I'm pretty damn gutted.

It's very difficult for me as change is a scary concept and i've been in this job such a long time now; still, I will start looking really hard this year and who know... we'll see =)

GET HOOKED ON MERLIN! YES!

♥

I know how you feel, I like stability very much and it was very unsettling when I suddenly didn't have the job at the library this autumn... But it all turned out all right in the end :)

You evil temptress, you! I need my sleep! I can't even drink caffeine to help me through the days... On the other hand, I've heard so many good things... *is torn*
