Blogspiration has been lacking of late. My general outlook has been poor. This has a lot to do with work right now. The job and the people are still fine, no problem. The problem is job security. They can't afford to pay me; I've worked only three days in the last fortnight and will probably only work two days next week. Also I've just found out that, this Friday, we will be told whether or not our office will remain open - in other words, whether or not we still have jobs. Admittedly I'm only on a 3-month contract, but the expectation was always that I would be offered the job permanently at the end of that time. But the lack of hours, and the fact that the company's going under... not cool. Also the secrecy that surrounds many aspects of the business and the way I found out about this Friday third-hand rather than straight from the boss... it all gets very irritating. It sometimes seems like there's some conspiracy afoot! Fortunately I have the coolest recruitment agent in the world, he knows the situation, and he's already keeping an eye out for other jobs for me. But really, I hate job-hunting and job interviews and updating my resume and having to dye my hair a "normal" colour that isn't purple... I just want to keep this job that I like, with the added bonus of working enough hours to pay the rent and eat (and save money and pay off a loan)! I guess there's always the chance the company will start making some money in the next week or so...
