These next few months will be challenging. I'll have some major decisions to make which will impact my life immensely. After the events of last week, I spent the weekend deep in thought and going through the seven stages of death. I've now come to acceptance. I accept that I will not be doing this job in the very near future and I accept that I will have to be flexible and work through my options carefully. The problem is that I have no idea what those options may be other than this:
1. Stay at this agency and take whatever position is offered.
2. Leave the agency and start over somewhere else.
It's the "whatever position is offered" and "somewhere else" that are indefinite. I have a lot to consider in making this decision. I need this same basic rate of pay, for one thing. If something comes along that offers me more that would be fine but I can absolutely not go backwards when it comes to salary. Not that I make that much now, it's just that I can get by on what I'm making. I need good benefits too. That's one thing this agency does offer - good health benefits. I don't want to go somewhere where I'd have to start over and wait 6 months for any benefits to kick in. I also want to be local. After 15 years of not commuting to work, having to do that would be a huge hassle.
There are a million other things to consider and I'm sure this will be on mind day and night for a while. Right now I feel a bit anchored...unable to move...since this is all so new. I'm sure, eventually, my wheels will get rolling again.
