Whoosh

Well, that's nearly half a year that has disappeared since I last posted. I can probably work that out in other entries. There's been a lot of stuff happening. The most notable of which is that I got a new job.

That was an interesting time. I remember handing back my work laptop and pass at the beginning of June and it all seeming a bit unreal, and reminding myself that I should make a Dreamwidth post. But that's now long enough ago to also seem unreal.

Anyway, after 12 years in the same job I randomly jumped to another one working for a charity that I saw advertised on FaceBook. It's either a bit surreal, or that shit doesn't matter as much as we're told. Possibly both - who knows?

I dream a great deal about being at University at the moment. I think my brain is trying for the last major known to be safe reset point. I mean, it wasn't that safe but my family were just about functional and things seemed good. And now I'm 30 years on I suddenly have to balance processing that three decades (sadly neglected) with making a meaningful engaged future (in this world, right?). I guess that's a mid life crisis and my bar is set pretty high for noticing crises.

Nice seeing you back. And congratulations on the new job. I loved my university days as everything seemed to be ahead.
