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 am so, so sorry about your operation being cancelled. ::hugs you:: If you want to talk, I'm around. And the job thing; as you said, you've got time, but that's still upsetting. I'm glad that putting up the schedule was a bright spot for you; I'm looking forward to this year very much!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks love. Just don't feel like talking about it and getting stupidly upset as I know it'll pass soon anyway. Thanks though, I do appreicate it ♥

Oh sweetie, that suckage is effing epic! At least you have paper legends to fill your time and it's something to look forward to. *squishes you*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm just doing what I do well; focusing all my energies solely on something else =)

*hugs*

While the work thing sucks for being so unsure, at least you do have a while to look just in case. Either way, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you there. And I'm sorry that your surgery was canceled *hugs tight*

AND YAY PAPER LEGENDS \o/

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

The work thing I've known for a while, and bothers me less than it probably should, probably just because it is a bit more long-term.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your job bb!
And I also hope you'll get a new appointment at the hospital soon. *sigh*

And I'm ridiculously excited about paperlegend :D

Aww, I'm so sorry about your operation being cancelled. :( *hugs tightly* I know, how much you were looking forward to it. I hope it gets rescheduled as soon as possible!

Your work situation doesn't sound great either. You should definitely force yourself to start looking around - the earlier, the better.

♥

Probably stupidly, I'm more upset about the cancellation than anything else; I have literally waited years already for this operation. Still, whatever, right?

I'm ridiculously excited too and I'm glad you are =) ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks love, and so do I. Doesn't look like it'll happen soon though, which is pretty gutting.

I am looking for new jobs but there's literlly only a handful around and so many people going for them, so it's going to be really, really hard.

♥

[chaosmaka.livejournal.com]

Not stupid at all. I just hope you don't have to wait that long again :( That wouldn't be fair :(

Yay! Even though I won't take part but I can reaaaaaaad :D ♥

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I hope they get the surgery rescheduled asap. *hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

So do I. ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

You can cheerlead maybe? Bet you'd be good at that ;)

♥

[chaosmaka.livejournal.com]

I failed so much last time but yeah I'll think about it ;)

<3

[padfootie.livejournal.com]

I'm crossing my fingers for you and hope you'll be able to keep your job or at least find a new one as fast as possible *hugs*

The thing with the operation sucks! *big hugs*

[auroraprimavera.livejournal.com]

That's probably why - either way *more hugs*

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I just want to get the operation done, I've waited so very long for it already.

Thanks hon ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks ♥

[gealach-ros.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I'm so sorry about the cancelled operation, I know how long you've been waiting for that. :( *hugs* My fingers're crossed that they'll let you know about a new date soon.

Have fun with paperlegends, hopefully it'll help distract you from the uncertainty of the hospital situation. <3

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I know there are some of you that will appreciate why I'm so gutted about it, and I hope too that I won't have to wait forever for another date.

Paper Legends will indeed be my distraction and I shall throw myself into it comepletely like I did last time and just enjoy it =)

*hugs*

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Bummer!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's really the only thing to do, plus I love that community and love working on it and want to make it as easy and stress-free as I possibly can for people. It's a good distraction from life for me and I'm not going to let anything else that's going on impact on how I interact with anyone or how I get on with things, so yes, being upbeat and burying myself in the happy place that is Paper Legends =)

I'm hoping there'll be a lot of interest, but at this point I'm just cautiously hopeful and whatever will be, will be.
