Hung in there for a little bit more

I don't know whether it was a mistake or a blessing to offer to stay a while & help the new appointee.
The lack of knowledge I've imparted makes me feel dumb for not being able to teach as much as I can.
Fortunately I can say he's got more education for the majority of the role than I ever got. So good luck.
The end finally occurred on April 1st - no joke,  even though many of my colleagues thought it may have been.

My first day of freedom was a blur. House duties, random tasks & lots of little things to occupy the busy mind and try to slowly relax it down. Dog tired by 9pm and the first good night's sleep in 6 months.

So what's the plan?
Ha-ha, there's not one.
 
Let's just go with the flow and try to achieve some trivial, geeky or bucket list things before I feel that I'm ready to bring value to the world again.

OK, so I quit my job yesterday

After much thought, I resigned from my job yesterday. After 6 & 1/2 years, it's time for something new.

Unlike some countries, when you do this in New Zealand there's a general expectation that you've already got something lined up. I haven't.

This blog will be my irregular thoughts for the next 30ish days while I work out my notice and musings as to what I might do in the future.

Pardon the language, style & lack of mind-blowing revelations. I'm new to this and hopefully the content will get better.

Until next time.
