Hi. So I figured that it was about time I write another of these! I just got back from holiday today, my first week off work since before Christmas last year. It was good to get away for a few days, though worryingly I now find myself looking forward to my next week off work in August. I haven't even gone back yet and already I want another holiday. I recently started a different job, in the same company and same office, but a far broader role. I figured that it would give me very wide ranging experience and more options for the future, as what I had been doing was quite specialist. To be honest I'm trying to keep an open mind and stay positive about the work, but truth be told I think I was better suited to my previous job, and so happier in it. I hope that things will start coming together with the new one soon (and I am sure that they will), but during my week off I have been reflecting that there is more to life than just earning - you've got to be happy too. But with the economy as f***ed up as it is, it's easy to get into the mentality of just earning and earning to stave off financial worries, at the sake of health and happiness. I dunno, I guess I've got a lot of thinking to do about it all.
I still haven't written my Oblivion review. I've been meaning to do this for months but just don't have the motivation to write reviews at the moment.
I've been trying to ride my bike to and from work one day a week for the last few weeks. It's a 23 mile round trip, so it is hard work, but coupled with my running each week I've noticed a big improvement in my fitness. This is making me feel good, but I think that I need to rejoin a gym to get back on the weights, as I miss that. I used a gym while I was on holiday, and it was clear straight away that I have lost a lot of strength. The thing is the gyms around hear are all so expensive for the quality of the places and the equipment that I don't feel happy to fork out for them. If the equipment was good and the venues were pleasant (or at the very least clean), then I'd join.
Some of my friends organised a uni reunion a few weeks ago and got 40 of us down to where we were all at university. It was a great night, everyone had a good (drunken) time and it was really cool to see so many of my friends again. We all agreed that we definitely need to do that more often.
So yeah, not much is new in my life really! Hope that everyone is doing good, and see ya around soon! ![]()
