Everything Changes

It appears that my life is spinning into a mass of potential change over the next few weeks/months. A lot of this is my doing admittedly, I'm not in complainy mode or anything, just means that everything is a bloody blur.

First main thing which is coming up very soon is that there has been a massive reshuffle going on at work which appears to be potentially throwing up new opportunities for me (finally). The only issue I have is that there is every chance of going through interviews and more bloody interviews. I detest interviews with a passion. They irritate me, especially when I'm already in an organisation and I'm being interviewed by people who will have known my skill set and how I work and operate anyhow. I understand that this is necessity in terms of to make it fair and all that garb, but it's kind of aggravating in so many respects too. If it's already proven and shown for months/years just what you are capable of, surely it shouldn't boil down to just an hour or two of yapping? Of course my viewpoint may change immensely if I happen to bag a good role from it, but still!!

My last job had exactly the same way of working but in a much worse fashion. They employed rolling temps constantly and offered on a rare basis full company contracts, but you had to go through an elongated interview process to prove that you were capable of doing EXACTLY THE SAME job as you already were......just plain bizarre to me! We shall just have to see with this exactly how things go.

Second main thing is moving out. I live 30 miles ish away from my workplace and have to commute in every day, not the best thing in the world. I am very likely to finally be moving into Norwich and therefore save on the constant commuting in the new year. I am massively looking forward to this, not only as a time saving utility but also as more and more of my life seems to revolving around the city and it will be fantastic to be in amongst it all.

In addition, I am due to move in with a really good friend of mine who I have known for well over a year now care of my job. I know that some people may find it strange that I would move out and into a place with a female friend, I know that some people's immediate thought process is a nudge nudge wink wink scenario. This couldn't be further from the truth, my friend Emma is exactly that and that alone, a friend and a bloody good one at that. Sometimes good friends are hard to find, but with respect to her, I'm glad that I have her in my life along with so many other great people too. I count my lucky stars that I do have each day!

Besides, I'm kind of seeing someone anyway, who with any luck and a massive fingers crossed on it, will work out for me and I'll be a happy bouncy person as a result. She seems really great so far from what I can see and I can only hope that she sees things the same about me. It's very very early days and taking it very slowly, but if the result is good at the end then its definitely worth the wait :-)

So like I say, nothing along those lines at all. I'm just grateful for the opportunity of being able to move in with someone who I get along with, I know well and whom I can trust. Those kind of opportunities are few and far between and need to be snapped up if and when they come about.

The last main changing aspect of my life is that I'm currently in the process of getting the ol' driving license sorted out. Its never been something that I've ever really needed, much as though that surprises people. Yes, I commute in to work, but over the years I have saved over half of what I would shell out for if I was driving in. But now I've come to the conclusion, that I'm 30 next year, it's best to just get it out of the way. I may not bother getting a car or anything straight away, cos again frankly there isn't the need for it, but to have the license gives me flexibility.

I am nervous as hell over....well basically all these changes. They will benefit me immensely granted, but its nerve wracking to have so much going on all at once. Three big potential life defining changes all due to come through in the next handful of months and whilst still balancing everything else too.....hence blurry mindness!!!!
