Some bits and bobs
Mar. 8th, 2018 05:58 pmAfter several weeks of incredibly mild weather here (no snow, lots of rain, not terribly cold), winter has decided to remind us it isn't over. We had a storm today and another nor'easter is heading in tomorrow evening/Saturday. Then another one might hit us early next week.
Ugh.
I know, I know, the UK can also have some nasty winters...but still not quite like our version of nasty.
So it's likely that my plans to go to writing group on Saturday might not happen :-( But I made it out shopping (to the giant shopping centre I'd never found before!) last weekend so I haven't been a total recluse.
I bought clothes. It was fun. I enjoyed getting compliments on my cute new outfits this week. What's happening to me?
As for other stuff, I'm still doing a lot of training, reading, and prepping for the concept of a job hunt. I now have a LinkedIn profile (DM me if you want to connect). Doing all of this, brushing up skills, monitoring job boards, etc, is giving me a much clear idea of what I want to look for and what might be realistic. I know that I don't want to just do the same job except in a different office. That's not a step forward, and a step forward is what I want. So I'm starting to get a clearer picture of what that means. I'm starting to work out what a small step would be and what a big challenging step would be, and feel like I've got the confidence to maybe push myself further than I thought about originally.
It's actually exciting, which I never thought I'd say.
( Cut for career and computing babble )
In less career and future related news, Star Trek Discovery was amazing and I need to blog about it. Legend's of Tomorrow has become the Arrowverse show I actually keep up with and I suspect that's because it's the queerest. I <3 Sara/Ava.
And Holby City is keeping me going. I <3 Serena. And Dom/Lofty. And Jac. And Frieda forever. My medical soap is so great.
