Should I pause?

I’ve had a lot of anger/frustration built up about certain issues from my past. A lot of people have said the bad feeling was justified but they only hear my side of the story. I have nothing to hide but obviously they won’t know the full details as that would mean other involved parties would be in on the conversation and that’s impractical. 

Anyway I’ve asked myself lately should I hold on to the ill-feeling. And the answer is no, not really. I have bigger fish to fry and I’ve long since moved on from the issues that started everything. 

This goes out to just one person. I’ve let everything go. Don’t believe me? I don’t blame you. Don’t even care? I don’t blame you again. I’m not saying any of this for a reaction - and why would there be a reaction. 

I’m just saying it because…this is my blog.

Romulus

 Only a few people know this but there’s only one chick flick I’ll willingly watch and even then it has to be watched during one particular week of the year. I refuse to watch it any other time.  Love, Actually.  And it has to be watched towards the end of the third week of November. Why? Because there’s when it begins in the film. 5 weeks before Christmas. I always wanted to find a woman who would happily watch it with me as it does get me a bit emotional especially the final scenes of everyone’s stories coming together at the airport.  One exe of mine watched it one year with me but refused to watch it the following year because “Why? We’ve already seen it once”). That was the moment I knew we’d have no future. Even if it means nothing to her, it meant to something to ME. And I’d have done it in return in a similar scenario for her.  Anyway. Each time I watch it I hate Alan Rickman’s character and you know why.  But this year (funnily enough the 20th anni...

Remonstrate

 So it finally happened. After 11 years employment with a great firm I’m moving on to pastures new. Well if it’s so great why are you leaving??  Yeah yeah I get it. I’m not leaving the parent company, I’m moving from one of its subsidiary companies in to another. Payroll, HR etc is all dealt with by the same people in the same area etc but the new organisation does a completely different role, serving different people in a different way. For example there’s an organisation which (I think) owns Argos, Sainsbury’s, B&Q etc and the set-up here is similar. Anyway it will be emotional. These guys were supportive when I went through my lowest times, when my dark clouds would not move etc and I have always felt a strong sense of loyalty to them so once I begin with the new company I won’t be negging on them at all. Admittedly this is very daunting. But everyone I know who made the same move I’m doing have said I have great things to look forward to. So here goes!

The keys to the future

Well yeah I said I’d update this more but I didn’t really go in to specifics… So changes are on their way. Big changes, some I said I’d never make. Some I haven’t encountered for 12 years and are comparatively frivolous. Some are history repeating itself, ironically exactly a decade ago.  “The keys to the future are held by the past”. There is some sort of logic when it comes to time, sentiment and history. The universe is clearly speaking to me given where I now live and with this being exactly 30 years from when I was in very similar circumstances. My first truly independent Christmas may be the last with my family the way it is, and it all ties in with 1984.  20 years ago this year I was at my peak at the radio station, completely unaware I was on the cusp of numerous life-changing incidents, this will play in to the next 5/6 months.  And 10 years ago I made a decision which was very much the wrong one however I was blessed to quickly get the opportunity to reverse it....
