Last month I had some bad news that my job was in jeopardy:

However I spoke tho the new boss and he was very encouraging, saying that my role was critical and that my contract will probably run for another 6 months; time enough to prepare to look for another contract despite having no connections. 6 months is enough time to make some contact and inroads.

Got a call on Monday that my contract is up at the end of September.

Fuck. I've just lost my livelihood with less than 2 weeks notice.

I've got a little money tucked away - maybe enough to last a moth or two.

This is not my idea of fun - especially as I'm supporting a family of 4.

Shit.

Stay strong. You can do this.

Hey Cheers!

Yeah I'm stupidly optimistic. I always just assume things will eventually turn out fine. I can't see how to get there from where I am yet, and that's really unusual for me. I can count those times in my life on my thumbs.

Dude. It sounds like you got a good attitude and that's more than half the battle sometimes. After all, you can't keep an eye out for opportunities if you don't keep your head up.

Good luck man. Sincerely. :)
