So I've been slack in writing up posts. I know that this is nothing to feel bad about and that I owe no-one an explanation. After all there are plenty of other good blogs to read and they all post much more regularly and much more interesting stuff than me. But I feel as though I do owe you all an explanation. So here it goes.
At the start of the year I starting in a new position at work - acting as the manager of the small team I was part of due to my manager getting a promotion, within the larger team, but still a promotion. As the months have gone on, I've been inheriting more and more responsibility, mainly because as and when things come up, I'm asked to do them. The team has also grown by two in the time that I've been managing and the amount of work that is coming in has increased. This means that, basically, things have been all over the place for me as I got used to the increased and very different nature of my work. And, with any role of responsibility, there was the additional emotional toll it took. I also had my other roles to balance as well - youth group coordinator and husband to a wife you just started working as a primary school teacher (which is a super hard job by the way - please thank your children's teachers if they are in school , they deserve it. Especially if they are in year 5 at St Caths in Waverley!) In short, I've been super busy and things have fallen by the wayside.
Having said all that, I will continue to try and blog (and will probably end up feeling a little guilty if I don't), so please be patient with me. There is plenty that is on my mind and I hope to empty some of that onto the blog in the future. Sorry if you've missed my rambling posts about nothing in general.
