Well, I hope it works out one way or the other! I do not hate being unemployed myself... which is a bad thing, because I really hate filling in job applications.
In January we were all told our departmental budget was being cut, and it was implied that at least one job would go in our department - the trainee's. Which isn't such a big deal since they're only ever here for a year - it would just mean they couldn't recruit a new one. But there are only four people in the department, and if I was doing even one-quarter of the trainee's job on top of my own... life would be untenable.
We didn't get any more news about this until last week, when we were told that the university had "had a rummage down the back of the sofa" for loose change, and filled the hole in the budget for now. "It's a very big sofa".
