Welcome Warmly Wednesday Wobblers,
So Here it is my first proper post in a loooong time. I realise that this blog fell apart a bit, but I am determined to blog once more. Maybe others will join me (providing they remember their log in details) Maybe they won't.So exciting times for me! I have now been unemployed for a very long time. I seem to have made a firm mess of my life so far. However, I have been offered a job in the Haematology and Biochemistry lab at Hemel Hempstead, quite close to London and I have accepted it.
To be brutally honest I am not entirely sure I have made the right choice. It's a big move, far away from my friends and family, rent is expensive and the position isn't completely full time (just 30hrs a week). So I'm hoping the fact it is the only band 3 job I've been eligible for will make up for it!
I've run the calculations and I can afford it, but times are going to be tough for a while until I can get some extra hours here or there :/ I've put a deposit down on a nice little flat now though so I'm just waiting for my credit and work checks to come back to find out if I'll be living in a box or not :P Everything seems to be moving so fast I can barely keep track of what I need to do or what has been done!
I guess that's the reason I want to start blogging again. I'm on the precipice of a whole new chapter in my life and I could be moving forward into a wonderful new life or just be making another huge mistake. It would be good to have something to look back on when I'm ready to move on again to see how my initial fears and anxieties panned out and to hopefully be able to see, and learn from the mistakes I made along this path.
Fingers crossed for me, guys!

ReplyDeleteif you now reread this...still having these thoughts? (always here when you need!)
ReplyDeleteHey, just had a little look and Yeah I'm still feeling a little worried about my financial status. However all of the other worries have panned out fine! The job is a good one, I'm enjoying it and I like the people there. I'm making new friends here and managing to stay in touch with people back home. I guess I'm too used to be quite transient in my life to not just get on with settling in now I've moved.
ReplyDeleteI look at that post and I was at point 0. The need for change outweighing the fear. Now I think I've reached point 1. Becoming a master of my own change :) who knows when I get to point 2 I might pop back ;)
