Changes

It's been a strange old time recently. The past few months have seen a number of changes some of which have been good, some of which have been less than good. If you've followed my lj blog then you'll perhaps have noticed that I don't post any private stuff about my personal life. This is for two reasons, first it's not always that interesting and second, it's none of your damn business (said with tongue pressed firmly in cheek).

So the changes have been a change in radio job, an evolution of my day job role and the end of a relationship. The common link between them all is the strange feeling that they have all resulted in. My move to Tay FM has been great but it's very strange being on air late at night. The response to the show is absolutely amazing and even though it's taken a couple of months to settle in, I'm starting to really enjoy what I'm going. You should listen one Saturday night between 10pm and 2am. You'll find a link to the stream on the website.

The evolution of the day job has been interesting and has brought new challenges which I'm tackling in my usual manner. I could write a daily blog based on the events in this job but, in my view, it's both unethical and a fast track to trouble.

The relationship end was sad and exceptionally strange especially given that we have both remained good friends. The other half of the relationship has blogged about the reasons and I see no reason to repeat that.

All this has made me realise that I need a holiday, a break, some time to chill and do nothing. A very close friend mentioned much the same thing a couple of weekends ago. I've basically spent the last 8 years working harder and harder and I've forgotten that a break is needed every now and then. My last proper holiday was in 2004 and that's too long ago.

So here I promise to myself that I will take better care of myself this year. As a start I'm planning, weather permitting, on doing some cycling this weekend and staying away from the PC as much as possible. You never know, it might actually happen!
