He’s finally back! Having settled in to the new flat, and finally (after much consternation) got the internet, network and server up and running, I am returning to my blog.

My new-year’s resolution this year is “to get a ‘proper’ job” i.e. to leave retail and find a job that I enjoy, rather than one I enjoy purely because of the people I work with. This is a challenge which I approach with a mixture of enthusiasm and dread, mostly depending on the day on which I’m asked. I have realised that, since graduating, my interests as a paid job have shifted away from purely programming, as retail has taught me how much I enjoy working with people, something which software engineering seems to give less opportunity for than other fields. Part of the reasoning behind this shift of interest is that I realise I enjoy programming in my own time, when I can work on something I enjoy seeing come together and where I can have as much input as I would like.

In the mean time, I can get back to sorting the final touches to the flat and probably sleep, as the last few weeks have left me physically and mentally exhausted.
