Changes

Its all happening, changes that is. We decided earlier this year that life needs some changes to spice it all up again. Move house maybe, change of job, location and even my hair doo, well maybe not my hair doo but everything else.

So Friday was my last day working here in the Midlands, my new terms and conditions were signed off by the boss man and I accepted a new position as a Senior Headend Engineer working in the Thames Valley. It took a while to get to this stage because of the department being at risk of redundancy and lots of moves happening. I first applied for the position in Southampton but just lost out at interview. A few weeks later it was suggested I apply again for the role in the Thames Valley, so I did and got the job. After a couple of weeks of negotiating I got the terms I wanted and accepted the role.

We have decided to move to Newbury so the house will be on the market as of tomorrow (Monday) and the house hunt will begin. I'm thinking I should be a bit stressed but I don't feel like that Yet...... Her in doors is doing all the stressing for me. Work for me now will be in Hayes London, Oxford and Reading, quite a big area I think. I looked at Oxford a couple of weeks ago and would really like to live there but the cost is like WOW too much. Newbury is near to Reading and access to the motorway is good plus it looks like a nice place with loads of green areas and open spaces. I finished work at Wolverhampton on Friday and it all felt a bit weird because it wasn't common knowledge I was leaving. I walked out just like any other day and won't be going back. A bit sad really after seven years I left like that. All is not lost though I shall be asking folks if they would like to indulge in drinking to excess before I move south, happy days. Friday was a good last day though, pizza for lunch, lots of it followed by a couple of beers after work with my mate Terry. It was the end of an era and the begining of a new one. I'm sure me and Terry will still meet up to cycle. Deffo..... See ya Tuesday dude...
Well thats it for this entry I will be back when I find more time, here is a picture of fond memories from my friend Terry, cheers mate its Sublime!
