Careful what you wish for ...
Hmn ... It's been months since I updated this, I do apologise. I know some people do occasionally still pop in to see if I have anything to say, so hello you ...
Man I've been busy. And, I have to admit, I've been feeling a bit homesick lately. Which is a bit mad, as it's not something I've ever suggered from before. You can be homesick for a time rather than a place though, and I think that's what I've been suffering from. This time last year, life, whilst a LOT more boring, was a lot simpler. I knew where I was, where I was going, and how I'd planned to get there.
This year. Well, it's been busy. Really, madly, insanely busy. And I've turned into a slight workaholic. Which all my old bosses would find hilarious. I didn't realise you could actually care for a job so much. Well, at all really. The job I do, the company I work for, it's struggling to survive, and I worry a lot that I can't cope. My boss knows what my limitations are, and he hired me in spite of them, but recently I've become aware of all the stuff that I don't know. And I worry.
Having staff hs been an eye-opener too. So many things you can't say, so many things you're not supposed to ask. It's deeply confusing! I find it hard sometimes not to let their problems become my problems, but that's something I'm going to have to work on.
And I'm bored with only having work to talk about. So I'm going to make a concerted effort to talk about other things. Make up for example - there used to be a time when it was all I bought. I've bought maybe two lipsticks since I moved down south! Very strange. Of course, now that's occured to me, I'm wondering where all my money actually does go, but ...
It goes on beer of course.
Okay, so I'm down in London, I'm busy, and I'm - in the main - happy. Moving has definitely been the right thing for me to do. I just need to take some time now to look after myself as well as my job.
More soon.

The interesting thing about homesickness, I found, is what you're actually homesick for. It isn't necessarily a place or people. But it does help you to define who you are and what's important to you.
(It's also horrible while it's going on)
Dear Luce28, I log on every month waiting for an update of your excellent blog.
