Hi Julie
Welcome to this forum! And thanks for your thoughts.
Yes, I had thought about disability insurance - problem is, I'm fit for work! For which I should be grateful, I know...I also worked in the public service for a very long time before making the jump to academia. First day back at work after a holiday, and there's very little I like about it. I can see long hours stretching ahead again, trying to balance work pressures and a constant fear of being made redundant if I don't deliver, with trying to carve out some time for myself...sigh...
Not the best day, topped off by the radiotherapists putting my appointment back 45 mins but not bothering to tell me, so sitting around waiting, feeling like a piece of meat. I do find radiotherapy very dehumanising, even with my own dressing gown.
Arpie, I'm in Canberra.
