Planting seeds

For a few of you on Facebook, you've seen that I found out my job ends June 30th.

I've had a short term contract ever since the beginning, but there was always the possibility of getting a long term contract and staying with the company. It wasn't quite peachy keen, but it was a good experience and decent pay.

Sunday night I received an email though from a professional networking group I'm part of. A flat for rent, a presentation to attend, and a job offer.... that was my job.

My company has started advertising to fill my position, so I know they won't be offering me any new contract. Before receiving the offer I had asked my boss if she knew anything about my future with the company and she said she wouldn't be making any decisions until after our big event. Now I know the decision has already been made.

While I was rather surprised to find out the way I did, I can't say I didn't see the writing on the wall.

I have a couple ideas, so now it's just a question of planting seeds and see which ones blossom. I've already begun by telling a number of people that I'm looking for work, and they said they'd keep their eyes open.
There's always the silver lining that I'll be unemployed when my parents come for a wedding in July which means I'll be able to spend time with them.
