My contract runs out today. I was hoping they'd extend it, like they did for my predecessor, who worked here eight months and only left because she had a better offer elsewhere; but they're merging two offices and making my position redundant. Pity, I liked it pretty well here, and I'd just figured out a way to improve my efficiency on the one really busy day of each month, and was looking forward to trying it out next time it came around.
I've asked the temp agency if they've got anything else for me, and reapplied for EI. The latter should reactivate my claim, which I think still has a couple of months coverage. I have to apply as if it's a whole new claim, but last time I did this (last July or thereabouts, after my "new job" let me go after the first week) they reactivated the old one pretty smoothly and quickly, so I'm hoping there are still live humans at Employment Canada who'll understand the situation.
My only real dread at the moment is that Andrew will go into an anxiety spiral when he hears the news-- it's not his fault, he can't help it, but I low-key hate how whenever a problem comes up I have to worry about his reaction on top of the problem and my own emotions.
The Village Players have an event this weekend, and he'd actually offered, of his own accord, to come along to it with me even if it meant dealing with the stairs at the location. I don't know if he was still going to do that (they're forecasting rain), but we'll see what happens if this doesn't knock him for too much of a loop.
