Xmas 2014

It's almost Christmas and that is good

Not sure what Santa will bring me or if I have been good enough!

Drinking tea and reading about wisdom (odd but comfortable combination)

Will see what 2015 brings. Goodbye 2014 you have been good but there is ample room to improve x

Volume

Due to the high volume of applications we anticipate. You will, very probably, never hear about this job again.

Many thanks,

Trauma

My last post was courageously titled self-determination. This was because I felt I was making a positive career change. Moving within the industry to another senior role. I was won over with conversations about being on 'same page' etc etc. What bollocks. The job lasted 3 weeks and half a day before I was let go. Rotten luck or deserved? Definitely not deserved. But the cards are now dealt and I have to dust myself down and start the next chapter..

Met Calum and June at today's job centre appointment...

...it went like they always do. Tick a few boxes whilst exuding confidence and dismay.

Went home and baked a banana cake.

Sorted!

Self-determination....

Changing job again. 

Going to another large American service company. Slight fear of frying pan to fire was only momentary. It is a good move for me. Professionally and personally.

This time it is different and I more in control of the direction of my career. Already finding this is having a positive impact upon other, important, areas of life. In a stabe relationship with beautiful loving Marie and cannot see any bad ahead. This spills out to all around me and the world gets a fraction happier!

Job longevity...

Have now been in my present job for over 2 years. At the noble age of 45 this is the longest I have ever been in a 'proper' job. Was a diver for 5 years but that was far from being a normal job. Does this make my current job worth staying in.....? Don't think so....! Another space to watch I think.......
