Some people believe that fate determines the course of their lives and everything is destined to be or not to be by a higher power. Others believe that life is more an act of serendipity where accidents or discoveries lead you onto strange and sometimes unexpected paths.

I think my life is a mix of the two outcomes. I do believe that certain things are destined…and others are not meant to be but I do think that serendipity and our choices in life plays a part in the course of our destiny.

After weeks of speculation and rumours, I found out today that I will not be laid off. I work at a University. Lay offs and restructures were previously unheard of in Australian Higher Education. But in Australia like in many places of the world, education is becoming a business and an extremely competitive one. Our new Vice-Chacellor came from the private sector and started using buzzwords like synergies, restructures and efficiencies…in union talk this mean layoffs and people loosing their jobs.

So today was D day...when the higher powers would announce the outcome of our fate. We would not be merged or absorbed by another unit. We were told to keep doing what we are doing in the same building…for at least the next six months. We do have a new director and we are now in a different unit, but things should not change radically.
