 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!

Well it’s been a lot longer than I’d planned but I may as well keep this updated.  Much has changed since I last posted. In fact a lot has changed since I even began this blog. The kinds of things that would make anyone question why I even have a blog.  My partner (or as I like to call her, my Wife for Life) has changed me in ways others have spectacularly failed to do. And that’s not meant to be a dig at them. Whoever they’ve moved on to I hope they’re all happy, I genuinely do. They are my exes for a reason (and vice versa naturally) but now I have finally found “her”. The irony being she was right under my nose all this time.  Anyway of all the ways she’s improved me, and ther are many, the one which stands out significantly is my privacy. I’ve had blogs in the past where I’ve implied things, been cryptic about other stuff and beat around the bush about things that really did not need to be revealed. This has now stopped. I don’t feel any need or desire to explain myse...
