It's been a while but, thankfully, I've been silent these last couple of weeks because good things have been happening, including the fact that I've finally returned to work, in my perfect job!
I'm working as a Careers Adviser, my new colleagues are lovely and I'm back in the public sector where I belong. And I couldn't be happier! But, having been away from the workplace for almost a year now, it's been difficult to adjust to my new routine. I honestly didn't expect to feel so drained of energy, especially since I'm not working full-time hours, but I'm enjoying the fact that I can get to sleep without any problems every night despite a new found love of afternoon naps. How lucky am I?
Still, I've been missing my creative pursuits; designing tutorials and, of course, my friends out there in blogworld. A new normality will no doubt develop soon, but until then, please bear with my erratic posting and don't forget about me!
Congratulations on the new job! It sounds as if it's going so well too. Don't worry, we'll still be keeping an eye on you here..
ReplyDeleteYay! Congratulations, Clair. Your new job sounds fantastic, and you do sound just perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteGood one, I've been there and yes it is exhausting but well worth it both for the increased £££ and the boost to your self esteem. Congratulations x
ReplyDeleteso good to see a post from you, and so happy to read your good news. Have fun at work and be happier than a bird with a french fry.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to see you again and to know it was for a good reason that you were missing. I wish you were my Career Advisor. All the best. (And I like scrapping without photos too.)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Clair!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to work in something that you really enjoy... it's a bliss!

Me, myself and I got to thinkin that might be it. I am here. Happy happies. Good for you Clair.
ReplyDeleteYou know we could never forget you :-) Hope it's still going really well xx
ReplyDeleteIt can definitely be hard going from not working to working again. Right now I'm in the non working category and i feel ya on the sleep issues...any tips to get through it? lol. But yes, I i did two weeks of one off work and it was tiring even if it was part time. But keep going u'll get back into the groove in no time! and congrats on the job, im a people person too, i need to be around and talking to people to be happy in a job!
