Same thing happened to my council job just before Christmas. After a very stressful 4 days they gave me the job back plus some. I am now overwhelmed with work enough for 3 full time people at 2 different sites. In December near tears almost everyday because I didn't have a job and now in tears nearly every day because I have too much of one. I don't like feeling like I have failed everyday because I simply cannot get all the work done.

Here's hoping you get a job that rewards both financially and professionally.
