Red Squirrel Apr 2018 10:42am, 28 Apr 2018 20,692 posts	0 Red Squirrel Hello my single beauties. I've been chatting on Tinder to a chap in Devon and will try to meet him for a coffee while visiting running friends. We've been trying to chat this week on the phone at lunchtime but my work's been too busy. That leads me on to ... I was hoping to find somewhere to live and then start looking for another job. I don't know if I can hold on. Work is really difficult and we're all hanging in there. I don't think I can for much longer. I know many people are in the same boat, but I'm crumbling. It's impacting on every area of my life. I've also been chatting on Tinder to an author whose work I love. 😀

Hanneke Apr 2018 11:10am, 30 Apr 2018 69,941 posts	0 Hanneke Sounds very stressful RS... And exactly the reasn why I decided to go the freelance route. There always seems to be something stressy when in employment. Money sucks, but stresslevels and therefore quality of life is high. I hope you get it all sorted xx
Red Squirrel Apr 2018 4:12pm, 30 Apr 2018 20,693 posts	0 Red Squirrel Thank you folks. Yes, I wish I was sorted with a home. I've got several small jobs I could do instead of one big horrible one and can be frugal to ensure mortgage gets paid. Hann, it would be good to hook up soon after the cancelled winter visit. Hope we can sort it out at some point.
Southcoastpete Apr 2018 8:14pm, 30 Apr 2018 5,634 posts	0 Southcoastpete I think work can get you like that RS. Is it workload issues, or possibility of losing your job? I've been very busy over the last few months rolling out a project. Long hours, nights plus some weekends. Can feel pretty relentless at times. Now I find myself in a dull hotel on the outskirts of Northampton for a week of nights. At least I can get out for a couple of runs, plus I've got my guitar for a bit of practice.

HowFar? Apr 2018 8:34pm, 30 Apr 2018 13,070 posts	0 HowFar? On the subject of jobs, I have a conundrum. Our head teacher is retiring. They could just replace her with someone in the same role. However, if they change the position, it will mean a transfer redundancy for me or the other teacher. In light of this I applied for a new job before Easter. I hadn’t heard anything so I assumed that I didn’t get an interview. However, I got a letter on Thursday saying that I have got an interview. Well, to be accurate, I have an initial interview next Tuesday. If I get through that, there is another interview and presentation next Thursday. This is only a class teaching job so the double interview is a bit of a surprise. My problem is, I don’t want to move from here. However, can I risk staying and then being out of a job later? Any thoughts?
Red Squirrel Apr 2018 8:40pm, 30 Apr 2018 20,694 posts	0 Red Squirrel HP. I wish I could but I imagine everyone on here knows how difficult it is to look for work when you've got a really busy job and sometimes work at weekends. I get home shattered and incapable of anything much. I need to stay friendly with that author on Tinder. He has 4 books coming out this year! Maybe he needs a proof-reader ...
