Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh no, Fiona! Good luck.
And ditto to your neph and his parents, Sara. I know several people who are deaf in one ear and do fine. Except for not waking up for anything when they sleep on the good ear and turning their head to hear better sometimes. And that's the worst-case scenario, right?
Fiona, I hope you work an upgrade.
I'm awake too early today, with a migraine. But not as early as you, Perkins. I hope you got back to sleep.
I pissed around for half an hour and I shouldn't have. Too late to bother lying down again properly.
I've stayed at jobs longer with each one. My last one was 2.5 years, and this one will HOPEFULLY be 3.5 years.
My jobs do not tend to bring new and exciting challenges, so after I've been through the cycle a couple times, I'm ready to move on.
Fiona! I'm so sorry to hear!
I don't know how I'd feel about six months warning -- it gives you time to prepare, but it could be a long period of mourning, too.
Still, it's more civilized than coming into work one morning and being greeted by a security guard with a box of your possessions....

You have just described my dad. Except that now that he's 81, he has a hearing aid in his good ear.
I'm so sorry, Fiona.
My first job was about 2.5 years, the next one 9 years and I'm in year 3 of the current one. I'm starting to look for a new job, but I'm going to be pretty picky - I'd like more money and a different employer, but I love the people and the hours here.
I'm just past three in my current job, but for once I'm not feeling burned out and antsy for a change, so that's good.
I think at my next job, I really need to power through the 2.5 year point which it seems is when I get antsy. If this company were not moving and I were not moving, I could see myself staying here for years despite many drawbacks. I have had 2 jobs that changed office space that doubled my commute, and both times it contributed to my decision to leave.
At the moment, my big hang up is the job I have my eye on is a gov't position, so only 10 holidays/year. I have over 20 where I am now, plus 24 vacation days + 18 sick days.
I'm lazy!
