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 ♥

Awww, hon, I'm SO SORRY that your surgery was cancelled. That's such a load of crap, but unfortunately not surprising. Hospitals are terrible like that here... Still, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be, so I'm so very sorry *hugs tight*

The work thing is frustrating too, but like you say -- the bright side is that at least you'll have some time to figure things out and find a new job. But that being said, it still doesn't make it any less annoying.

Glad that things are starting to roll with paperlegends. I'm very much on the fence about participating again because I have a hard time with canon these days and I can't write an AU... but it seems like there is a lot of interest, so I think it'll probably go well and you'll have a good turn out :D. So yay!!

The surgery is a bigger deal right now for me than the job situation, even though I suppose it probably shouldn't be that way round. Oh well.

I'm sorry you mightnot participate this year, and can only hope that you change your mind; still, it's your choice of course love, and you have to do what is right for you =)

*hugs muchly*
