There is something nice about staying home. I yearn for that stability and security. For now, my fiance and I are always on the move, wherever we find work, and so on.

Plight of many of late, hope for you to soon find that permanent position able settle.

Unfortunately, it seems that universities are shifting towards more contract work and less permanent positions. And the permanent positions are almost always BEE.

My nieces husband has found the same problem, forced to hold down three or more positions travel across Jo'burg, not ideal!

Exactly. And the problem with contract work is that you never know if there will be another one around the corner. Sometimes you go a semester without teaching, meaning no contract fee!

Sorry for only responding now! I hope that you had a splendid Xmas and a good start to the new year!

Hope 2025 treats you better, happy New Year to you and yours....

Thank you so much, and to you as well. Sorry for again replying late. Even the new year has gone and went because time flies nowadays.
