Another one bites the dust ...

And, fortunately, that wasn't me ... this time. Not that there's indication that it should be me next. But, it is not a pleasant thing to be working somewhere where each week it's someone different. This one came as a surprise, although I had been given a glimpse into this one last week based on a comment someone in upper mgmt made. So, I've taken to looking. Fortunately for me, I have a bit of a flexible schedule with some odd hours. I have an interview set up for Monday morning. It's with the health region, working to find suitable housing for individuals with mental illness. It would include a lot of things I currently do. I don't want people at work to know about this. I fear I will then be 'let go' and I really can't afford that. I really enjoy the work ... it's the politics that are so ugly. And the fear that suddenly, what it seems people like about my work could be turned around and "not be part of the vision". The comforting thing is that, so far, in each case (to my knowledge), a number of conversations have occurred with no change in behaviour, approach, or belief. And so far, I haven't been part of these conversations. So, I wouldn't mind some prayer about this situation and the upcoming interview.
