west is best
let me start by saying, I am not complaining. new job started just over a week ago after a traumatic and slightly crazy long weekend of travel and moving stuff to our temporary home at little bidlake farm. the commute is a "hellish" 30 minutes of traffic free A roads which I would probably describe as "the most relaxing commute i've ever had the pleasure of doing". the work so far is interesting and challenging although to be fair I've yet to really get stuck into it. best of all the team are great, has to be said I'm missing the banter of the uSwitchers but I think I've moved to a very similar environment in terms of humour vs work vs did you see that thing on tv last night? so all good. the biggest problem I have right now is leaving work on time. I seem to be stuck in the london leave at 6/6.30 unless you're busy mentality. I regularly find myself as one of the last to leave and thats at 5:20pm?
like I said I am not complaining. I think this is something companies in London have completely wrong. if you work your 9-5 and work it well there is no reason to work any longer. the added relaxation time helps balance out your life leaving you more motivated and ready to work again the next day.
house purchase/sale is still all going through but man does it take a long time. next weekend is bank holiday surf, then hoping to be back in London weekend of the 30th. also barrett if you're reading this - my accent is back already and within weeks will be rivalling yours!

I really enjoy reading your site, you really should write more. Funny to read about your journey and lifestyle change, not too dissimilar to mine really, although I have written a rant about traveling to work this morning, although I have to admit, it beats London any day.
Got the job at EDS, so will see how that goes. Think its very different to EDS UK style, and hey if I don't enjoy it, I'll go off and do something else.
Isn't life just boss and its such a shame we can't have another go at it!
Amsterdam 22nd-24h August? I'm all booked. Would be nice to see you when I'm back...if not see you when we are closer to 40 than 30 (years old that is).
