January gloom

[white_hart]

I am very much not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Maybe this really should be the year I find a new job. Not that that would happen in time to stop me having to navigate at least one more pandemic-hit term. I may have just had two and a bit weeks off but I'm not sure I have any more energy than I did at the start of the break.

And my dad is in hospital following a fall this morning and stroke symptoms. This is not good.

I am tired and sad and horribly worried and everything is Too Much.

I hope that your dad recovers well and swiftly.

It may be worth scanning the jobs available, just to see what's out there. I do strongly suspect that you would have to work your full 3 months' notice; I certainly did when I left my last job.

Thank you.

I tend to keep an eye out anyway, but the 3 months' notice is definitely an issue, and it's also far from certain that a new job would actually reduce stress levels in the short to medium term.
