Back...!

Well, what a fantastic week away that was! The weather was a little colder down there than I would have liked, but an awesome time was had! We even made it on to an old steam railway for a trip, which really started gearing me up for the big journey!

Not a huge amount to report work-wise. I had a ridiculous meeting with my boss the other day. Basically, it involved him complaining about something I had done for a bit and then ending it with a really false-sounding compliment that he may as well have scripted and read off the page to make it sound more convincing! Wally...

I left that day feeling very angry and annoyed with him, but my time away has made me realise actually how little he matters in the grand scheme of things. Also, as I have said before, a lot of people are depending on my work and this means he needs me. A hell of a lot. Being away helped me to separate my work from my life, something which I have always had difficulty with as I love most aspects of my work so much. I agree that it is important to be able to do this, but the industry I am in requires a certain amount of real affection for each individual job. I love my profession and want to go on loving it, but this job at the moment is something I really must keep separate. For my own sanity...

Will update the travel situation very soon...
