No, I've not quite vanished.... just difficult to write much about New Job. Which is what most of the last few weeks have been all about. Suffice it to say, I'm loving it.
I'm learning loads. Much of what I learnt in the Old Job has been incredibly useful, though I'm having to unlearn some things as well. Some interesting learning from the past has been hauled out from the back of my memory bank, and the skills learnt then are being transferred into a new situation.
I'm really loving the much reduced commute, and know there is no way I could do this job if I were commuting as I much as I had been. My bank account is loving it too, though I'm sure the train company is missing my monthly contribution. Not having to leave home until after 8.15 a.m. and being home by 5.00 even on the "late" evenings is a joy and delight. I've even done things occasionally in the evenings....
Former colleagues are very jealous of some of the significant differences in dress code, and how paperwork is done. New colleagues are getting used to me. It's nice to be working somewhere where I'm just known for what I do in this job, not what I was originally known for being and doing prior to Old Job.
The full year has been completed in the organist's work as well.. back to Harvest tomorrow, which is where I started last year! I think we're all OK with what I'm doing. I'm enjoying it, at any rate.
