*BOOM*

Favourite line of a Tracy Chapman song is this:  "Don't be tempted by the shiny apple, don't you eat of the bitter fruit, because all that you have is your soul"....hunger only for a taste of justice.....actually, this is an original fav track from way back...

Well, yeah, I think its wrong if a colleague is bullied.  And I said so.

Yeah, I think it is wrong if a colleague is asked to change their work portfolio because they are pregnant in the year 2012.

I took a "seated stand".  My contract wont be renewed I was advised today.  This is a reverse on previous discussions, and in part when I asked, it's attributed to my taking a stand, not my work...go figure.

I should feel confident in the position I took.  For me it was about principles.

And yeah I do. I can live with my actions and principles.  But inside its still like taking a helluva leap as to what next. There's that massive gulp feeling.  It should be "yay, I have a blank page", and I'm not locked in to the stupidity and injustice that can exist in some workplace and how that can drain positive energy. It feel tho a little like jumping off a cliff, and well, with a bung knee, there are reservation using that analogy.

8 weeks to find a new job.  And I also need to hold it together in term of not letting rip with a certain colleague.  That perhaps concerns me more than the what next question.

My knee needs to heal so I can manage my stress with physical exercise.  It's slowly getting better.  Almost walking at 80-90%.

Going to have the knee checked on Monday by the GP.  A week late, but better late than never.

Friday *BOOM* feeling.
