Bummer

The recession has claimed it's latest vicitm - me.

I was due to return to the UK in feburary, exhausted and penniless but with a good job to go to with one of the longest running providers of outdoor education, Outward Bound.

I turned down 2 other good jobs to take this one as I felt it was time to make a commitment to an employer who would help develop me as an instructor so I could provide my students with a really worth while experience.

Bookings are down for next year apparently and it's last in first out. So now I am left high and dry. The hiring time for 2010 is late 2009 so most of the other good jobs for next season will be gone already. Plus I'm on the wrong side of the pond to go to interviews.

The future looks uncertain, I don't really know what to do. I probably can't get a flight home until after xmas now anyway, maybe not even new year.

I'm all alone and things don't look too bright for me down the road.

I know I should try to just enjoy the time I have here somehow.

What is going to happen next?
