Well, I got the job application in eventually.
I've mentioned recently that w*rk wasn't going too well. On Tuesday, back after the long weekend, it hit a new nadir of suckularity. I'm now ploughing my way out of the mess - should hopefully be up to date tomorrow and then just have to watch out for falling behind again. I'm so glad now that I put the job application (for transfer to a different section and type of work in the same large public-sector body I currently work for) in. However, internal transfers move at snail's speed, and if I'm successful in this application I don't envisage changing jobs until at least September, possibly later. This is feeling very tough. I've been feeling very overwhelmed and weepy this evening.
I felt like just going to bed without reading my Daily Office, but decided I'd give it a go. Obviously, before doing anything actually constructive on the computer, it's necessary to check a few necessary web places. For some reason I checked my blog and found Ian's last comment (thank you Ian). I hadn't had email notification (I think because we've changed our addresses recently, probably something to sort out), and this led me on to check Spike's blog for comments. There weren't any new ones, but I found myself reading through Spike's account of the last few years. And there, as the hymn has it (No 485 if you have a New English Hymnal on your desk like we do) 'The wondrous tale is written, full clear on every page'. We've waded through some terrible mires together and, with God's help, here we are. I've wept again, happier tears this time.
My go-to-bed-at-a-sensible-time plan has failed tonight, as I have to get up for you-know-where in five and a half hours' time. But I think I'm off to look at the Daily Office first. And I promise to write something funny next time.
