Technically this two year project is meant to wrap up (for certain measures of wrap up)in April, and my extended contract expires in the first half of May.
Juggling that end time crunch, and pondering if I really need to find some time to actually do job hunting, both internally at the company or externally. Or with that combination of end of project drop and lockdown bleh, maybe use my savings to just relax for a month before getting back on the job horse. Trying to make time for that job hunt in the midst of end of project craziness just seems so mentally draining in the midst of an already exhausting period.
It's been weird I have to admit. When I started, I was in that "Rahr! I've restarted my life! First full time professional job after 15+ years as a carer. Finished off my degree, now I'm in a professional environment and working!"
Then lockdown hit, and working from home was basically a major flashback. I thought I'd be re-learning socialisation and professional skills, and instead I've now spent a year with no real social contact and barely leaving the house a score of times. Roll out of bed, open up the laptop, log-in to work, and then the day is done and I'm mentally exhausted.
Ah well. I now have two years as a Data Analyst for an international company on my CV. I just have to survive the last month and a bit.
