Luck Bereft

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 myself, and I’m not doing that right now. All I will say is my private life stays between her and I. Even issues that other couples may be open about, I’m saying nothing. I feel much more comfortable that way. If anyone feels a need to find out anything about my relationship all they will discover is that I have one. One I am extremely happy in, with someone who actually, genuinely and finally gets me. And that’s a tough ask from anyone. Except her. 

There are other things I need to blog about, I need to keep certain things in public knowledge should I suddenly depart this existence.

But not planning for that to happen for a long time yet.

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!
