Today, I told my employment agency and the Ministry of Health that I would stop working there on February 25, next Friday. It turned out being both scary and easy. On Thursdays, Bev, the lady from Select, the employment agency, comes to check on all of us temps, today I took the chance to ask her how much longer I would be there. She said it depended, I said I'd like to end at the end of February, she kind of gave me a bit of a look and told me to talk to Jill, who's my Ministry supervisor. Then she left. After this I felt like I'd jumped off a cliff and didn't know where I'd land since I've been worrying about this for weeks as the job just wears me down. And I've spent every night since Tuesday onward, wandering and talking with Rowan till 11 or so at night, so sleep has not been a high priority plus stress and I cry from relief after talkin to Bev.

Then I discovered another reason why I love New Zealand, I explained the situation to Tane and Laingy, two people working with me, Tane is a temp who's been at the Ministry for a couple of months while Laingy started last week. Laingy is this quiet, beautiful Polynesian woman who just moved down from Auckland, she gave me a candy bar and just made me feel better. Tane, who's about my age and is lanky and funky, said don't worry about it, you should use your time here as best you can. So I cried a bit from release from the stress, ate chocolate and felt better. In the afternoon, I talked to Jill, who's a wonderful lady and she understood and said yeah, I know its a boring job. She's actually about to leave and spend time with her American husband in the States and tommorow's her going away party. Now, I feel relieved because I have an end date and Jill said I was a great worker and they would be sad to lose me, but she understood. No bad feelings to follow me, but a mixed reaction of the place since the people are fun and enjoyable, but the job is mind numbing or just awful. Answering phones and processing forms. Though tis almost over. And now I get to look forward to what's next and see if fate will still put me in places to find out about the New Zealand medical system.
