Thinking time

The early morning drizzle has stopped; the sun is trying to shine through the clouds; I'm looking forward to my walk.

Of course, I shouldn't be here; I should be at work, except that something has happened. I was just thinking - over the past 2 or 3 years, there have been a number of significant changes at work; as it happens, for me, they have all made my job, if anything, less congenial. I have tried to adapt, but have reached the situation where I am trying to do a job which I simply am no longer able to do - not because I have changed, but because the job has changed.

One thing I have to consider - is God wanting me to move? It's difficult to imagine that he does - I have had no positive inklings in any direction - except possibly to find out if there are any jobs going at what has been described in the papers as Edinburgh's newest university, but which from the coming autumn will be located in East Lothian. It would be nice to have less distance to travel, but I can't really expect the nature of the job to be different - I would be regarding myself as user support - and the practice of user support is likely to be similar in another higher education institution - although a smaller institution might allow greater flexibility. But God could be pushing me in a completely different direction - I simply don't know.
