Since returning to work my anger levels have definitely been growing. So while I mainly feel calm regular eruptions tell me the long days, rude students, and the total failure of the college systems to enable smooth functioning are taking their toll - that underneath the apparent calm I am very tense. The level of anger has surprised me because although the world of Kafka has only worsened since I was last here I really thought I was mentally above this because in a way I know it is only temporary - that soon I can get a bit of extra income from my pension, get a nice lump sum, so can really enjoy when I am not working.
So today to find out that the information given to me by the Teacher's Pensions is incorrect that I cannot in fact access this money unless I stop work for a day !? has left me really erupting. Ever since summer I have been dreaming of this money and how it will liberate me. Prior to accepting the job I checked that it would not impact on this and was assured I could have a mixed pension - ie have my original pension at 60 and the other pension later. But no one no one said that I would somehow have to stop my new permanent job for a day in order to claim that money. Only now have I received that information. Furious.
