Turbulence ahead?
Tuesday, 18. November 2008, 01:25:54
I found out today that the grant I was relying on to pay next year's salary was not funded.This does not mean I am out of a job. There are alternative funding streams in my department, but what it does mean is that the project we were hoping to start next year has been cancelled.
This means I will be doing something else. Just what, I do not know yet.
Another element of uncertainty in an already uncertain world!

That's long time ago indeed.
My line of work, together with most other's, including yours apparently, is characterized with constant uncertainty instead.
That's just a fact of life we'll have to cope with.

Matt, a story like yours is precisely what I am worried about! That sucks.
Allan, yes, we have to cope. Times have not changed for the better for the average working person.

not knowing it is the hardest period of all! I hope you use your always optimistic thinking and just hope for the best...You have my best wishes for better news in the near future
You too Matt,
I hope I wake up in the morning and I see a notice for a new post with the title:
"I found the job of my dreams !!! " and I hope it happens very soon

Don't you just love these wonderful new "improvements?"

previously
we only could see our news if we were in an Opera post i.e. MOTW or Opera Home page news posts,
in reality it is not a great change there,
what I don't like is seeing in the main page who added whom as a friend...
if there is a function to keep our friends list private
why everybody can see now who I did add in it ???
(it is at the "latest activity"area.
Ed,
you might need to report it....it was a post on
two days ago that urged members to report what
still doesn't work in their posts
