Eh?
What did I do?
This
is Dunc, btw. As Ozy (rock hound) says, I've had my plate pretty full in recent years, with getting my head around sorting my son's schooling problems out and getting back into the routine of holding a job down again. If that means you don't want to know any more, that's sad and I hope I'm mistaken, but ultimately not my issue - I can't do everything at once. Sorry man.
In other news, Friday was my last shift on evenings, I start days next week with a new role and a new manager and team to get used to. My previous team saw me off last night with a 'heard you're escaping' card, couple of carriers of beers, box of sweets and my mate added a WoW Horde wallet - it was touching to know they were going to miss me so much. Having a good group of co-workers has made doing this godawful shift pattern the last 2 years more bearable, I'm gonna miss them - hope some of my new colleagues are as good. My new line manager seems nice and says she will be doing my training personally and will make me really good at my job, which is promising - her manager is still the same guy up the line from my previous line manager and he's a sound bloke who has been supportive regarding my autism throughout, so I'm pretty happy with the move overall. Once I've been trained in the day team role all of us will be going for upskilling to become fully fledged underwriters in the new year, which will mean new responsibilities and a bump in pay. Can't wait. A couple of weeks in and Xan's starting to settle at his new school too, which is great. He doesn't
love it yet, but he's willing to make the right choices and give it his best, which is really encouraging. Our daughter has settled nicely at FE college too and is handling transport easily, which is another weight off our minds. For me, I'm happy to be getting evenings back. I'm sick of always being tired and not getting home until 11pm. I might actually be around here a little more often.
