Some of you will remember sometime back when I unexpectedly got my dream job working for the Mental Health Foundation.
Well I’ve been feeling a bit glum recently.
Trying to get the manager of the charity I’m seconded to applying for continuance funding has been a real struggle and I thought I would have to just close our service down despite it being very successful.
We have had two events and a film which we have had to organise for a couple of months and today was the big one for me. The events organiser was dreading it. Expecting it to poorly attended. I hate public speaking so the thought of doing it over two days is my idea of hell.
Well it was packed and the film went down really well and all the questions and the feedback were really positive. Two major funders seem very keen and I may have another extention to my contract while we wait for the results.
I’m really buzzing with excitement but also totally knocked out and tired (the stress has been playing havok on my sleep patterns) so in short not exactly great news yet but I feel much more optimistic than this time last week.
