Should I be unhappy?

· 🌡️ 44°F

The funding for my program at work is temporarily on hold because of state financial problems. For the time being it cannot move forward and may not ever move forward in it's current structure.

The agency is going to restructure my program so it can be funded differently. However, any kind of funding is touchy right now due to the budget problems.

Just as I got the news, I had an individual sitting in the lobby waiting to interview for a position with my program. Oh, my. I had to tell them the position no longer existed because of funding. Which also means I wasted my time vetting and interviewing several other people for a non existent position.

Now I'm processing whether or not I think my agency will be successful in restructuring the program. If it's not, it will be an opportunity for me to try something new that I've had on the back burner ... being a paralegal!

    I'd bet you'd make a great paralegal!

    I think you should just go for it as soon as you can. Don't let it hover around till the last minute when you will find it harder to make the switch.

    Cool idea Janelle. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    You obviously have a good attitude about this. Many of us are in a very shaky situation. I'm sure you will weather it well.
