Despite not liking my job very much, I am still feeling rather down about not getting the permanent post. I wasn't sure whether to apply or not in the first place. It's been long weeks, evening and weekend work and very tiring. Given I want to write in the evenings, it wasn't good.
Part of feeling fed up about it is that I like winning. It's never pleasant to compete for something and not get it. Also, I put a lot of effort into the job and it feels like there's no reward at the end of it, although my manager says I can use her as a reference.
Positively, though, I'll have loads more time to write, the house will be tidier and the Careers Adviser network is already buzzing - I got my last job through a friend of a friend. I do tend to get depressed when I'm out of work, so need to be careful to avoid that.
