Mirage

 So finally I’m hitting the home straights. Ironic use of wording. 

I’ve waiting for this situation to be possible for 16 or so years. I can’t complain too much, a lot of the wait was my own doing but a chance phone call just after Christmas last year allowed me to put a plan in place which would take some time but would finally see me where I need to be. 

Cryptic, me? Of course. I’m not going to show my hand just yet. A few small hurdles need to be cleared first but they are indeed small and the next stage of my evolution will begin. 

When the time is right (and most probably were only talking a month or so) I’ll reveal it but it’s essential I keep it under wraps until then. 

It’s probably going to sound boring to you but to me and mine, it’s EVERYTHING.

It’s Grim Up North

 I’ve never really been one to believe in ‘signs’. You know, a signal from the Big Guy upstairs, your guardian angel, a deceased loved one etc. I do believe my late father let me know he had faith in me a few days after he passed but that’s about it. All this “everything happens for a reason” stuff really bums me out. If that’s your thing and it gives you comfort then all the power to you and I won’t ever mock you for it. However it’s not something I subscribe to. Until today. To a point. I have a lot of background stuff going on right now. Nothing as bad as say, the middle of the last decade but things that affect me, where I go from here, what my next move will be, how my life will pan out. On top of all that I was hit by bombshell news today that I won’t be revealing for the time being. Suffice to say I needed time to process it all so I went somewhere that my usual daily schedule wouldn’t normally allow. And whilst there I saw the sign (and I’m not talking about the 1993 song b...

This too shall pass

 Anyone who got close to me in the last 2 years or so will know that the title of this entry has played a big part in who I am today and who I’m becoming.  To be honest it’s only 2 maybe 3 people who will know about it. It comes from a YouTube clip starring some very famous actors.  I used to pay attention to Tom Hanks’ line (I still do) but it’s clear I should have focussed just as much (maybe even in certain circumstances) to what Robert De Nero says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sciUJKjUfM

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!
