So I just recently quit my job at Xchanging... it got to be that I couldn't do the role any longer. While I made a promise to not get bored and move on.... I got bored and am moving on. I stuck it out as long as possible but a compounding series of let downs, failed project initiatives, lack of substance in the work and consistency in the business have made me feel the need to remove myself from this environment. Add to that a culture of people who have little to no interaction with one another and.... well.... bye!
I'm moving on to a new organisation that seems to have a very well established and comfortable culture that welcomes people and involves them in the business and with each other. They're small in scale but large in experience so it should be an interesting place to be.
We're still in Southend, the house was purchased in September by a new couple who own many different properties and they have been fantastic. Significant improvements to the house have and are being made. They've promised more for us and kept our rent the same (wahooo)
We went back to Canada in late September ( my first trip back since coming to the UK ) it was fun and we saw lots of 'old' friends. We were at my parents on the island for a short but which was fun as I really like their home. It was also my first time driving in 3 years - so that was fun times.
Anyway... as usual I'll throw down some photos to summarise the travels... oh and another new blog verywoodythings.wordpress.com and our store getpainted.co.uk
