So after a hectic month of moving stuff down, waiting for stuff to arrive, building heck-knows how much Ikea furniture, waiting for various maintenance repairs and filling out endless forms... I'm back in London. I would say I feel relieved but I just feel tired more than anything! It is nice to be back though, if just for the next few years. If anything the best part is having a job that is challenging and interesting again, which I never thought I'd say...

Well, since I managed to leave my side-lights on this morning and my car battery is flat, whilst I wait for the AA man to come and save me I figured I'd have a few seconds spare... which seems to be rather rare these days, for some unknown reason. I think relocating and changing jobs yet again is proving to be the killer here, although there are a fair variety of other things. I can't wait until I'm down in London again, doing the things I enjoy, and not having to worry about anything or anyone.

It's coming up to a couple months now that I have been working for the Open University, and in comparison to my last place of work it's actually been pretty plain sailing! I'm working in a media division of an e-learning department, whereby most of the teams are akin to design agency teams in a sense with their own editors, designers, artists, project managers and developers.

I'm starting to get to that point in my career, when I've realised that I really need to push in order to start working my way upward. The only problem, which I guess is what most people find, is not finding the inspiration to do it, but the time and energy. I think right now I'm running out of both...
