Holiday Break

Yesterday was my last day at work until I take a two week holiday break.

I feel as though I need it. I haven't been away for a while and going abroad and being somewhere totally different will, I think, do me a great deal of good.

As mentioned in previous blogs there is politics going on at work at the moment. Much, I am sure, is due to the merger we are currently going through and which should be completed next shortly after I get back. Things should become much clearer then.

I am also going to have a think about what I do career wise whilst I am away. I am not entirely happy at the moment with the way things are panning out. I enjoy what I do but am not sure that it really grabs me or is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I suspect that the company may also be wanting me to take a bit of a lead. I don't mind doing that, but they are not giving me much of a steer either and I am finding it hard to second guess.

One final point. The colleague who left three weeks ago - or who was eased out - has not contacted me. I left him a text message of his mobile but I haven't heard back.

I am not overly bothered per se; I just thought I ought to drop him a line and show him some consideration.

It always disappoints me when these happen. I think that I take it slightly personally from an Asperger perspective: do people not entirely accept/like me etc? Not sure that I should read too much into it!

Anyway, this is my last posting for a couple of weeks so, if anyone else is going away, hope you enjoy the break also.
