Hello Blogworld, My Old Friend!

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!

Working Woman

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!

  3. Good 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

  5. So 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.)

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!
