Outta Here?
Monday, April 2nd 2007 - 11:05 AM
I'm starting to feel like my time in Afghanistan is coming to an end - for now, at least. I'm off to England for another month's break in about ten days and i'm contemplating not coming back to Kabul.
I'm not a city person and i feel like i've had enough of city life - especially a city a thousand miles away from the nearest beach, with the worst climate outside of Canberra, and where i have very little freedom.
There's also some doubt about funding for my job after the end of April. My continued employment depends on my organisation signing a contract with a big international organisation for a particular project - and we've had no end of trouble with that particular organisation in the past. So it's pretty certain that when i leave here, in a week and a half, i won't know if there's going to be a job for me when i come back. If i come back...
So i'm going to take all my stuff with me just in case.
I've applied for a couple of other jobs - in countries with coasts - but my ability to match their selection criteria is borderline, to say the least.
I reckon i'll know for sure after i've been in England for a week or two...
