According to my annual review, apparently it's been a good year and the powers that be are well pleased with me.
Talking to an old and much loved friend last night, I find myself describing work in almost entirely positive tones. So strange to think that exactly a year ago I was totally despondent, in discussions with another organisation and seriously considering jumping ship. It's been a difficult journey, but somehow, by staying true to myself and refusing career advancement in preference for staying 'technical', I've managed to end up right now, somewhere really good. A job I enjoy and feel I can really contribute in.
I'm still growing into the role and the juggling act that comes with is a little stressful, but by and large, things are pretty good.
I feel like I'm tempting fate saying this out loud, but for the record let it be said: I'm actually pretty happy on the work front.
And most certainly not just because they gave us all mini-hampers full of booze and goodies.

mmmmmmm booze and goodies when did you say you were back in Manchester
I'm really pleased you are happy at work...you deserve it!!! (stuart, there won't be any goodies left dear....)
A hamper for Christmas is a regular thing from my work. The problem that they have is it becomes a method of measuring how we have been collectively valued over the year. Hence the hamper has been gradually shrinking every year. Next year I am expecting them to ask for a hamper back!
That's lovely...So glad it seems to have worked out well and happily.
Enjoy the break xx
I'm pleased it's all going well.
Hope you've had a good Christmas and all the very best for the New Year, Katie :)
