Permanence

Spring heralds in new beginnings. We are really well into Spring now but there are still new beginnings to be shooed in.

Today, I finally received the letter making my job permanent. This has been verbally promised a couple of months ago, but really, one shouldn't completely believe anything as things can change, people can leave/die/resign etc, until one sees it in writing. After some intermittent follow up on my part, while waiting patiently for the cogs in this great corporate organisation to slowly turn, the letter finally arrives.

There. It. Is. Effective date - 29 August 2007.

And with it brings a sense of permanence not just in the job, but in the entire "being". I can start to look for real furniture, a less transient home, a more permanent life.
