I thought it would be nice to write a new post on the first day of this fresh new year. I hope everyone (Who is reading this?) had a really nice transition into 2026. Well I guess none of us really noticed it that much because time has been a bit of an illusion since 2020 hasn't it? I am hopeful that 2026 can be a really nice year for a change, that would be great.
The entire past year wasn't really the best one for me, although I can't say I noticed it that much while I was going through it. The first half of the year was marked by an ever increasing workload at the office with a project manager who'd be better of working with numbers than people. It was also plagued by the ever present gloom of a reorganization, which unfortunately took my job from me at the beginning of August.
It's a fairly bitter end to a eleven year career but I am trying to see it in a positive light. After having worked in one place for such a long time it feels natural to become a bit stuck but also to become unhappy with the changes in the company. Yet I don't know if I could have made the decision to leave on my own? I guess I couldn't since I didn't.
I received a few months of garden leave, and now I have been officially unemployed since the first of December and 'enjoying' my time in unemployment benefits. However I am in the final stages of a really interesting job application so it would be nice if that could work out.
It's weird to think in 2026 I will be essentially starting over and becoming the new one again. It'll be weird to have to think so hard about everything again when I was so comfortable in my knowledge before. It will be a real change but maybe it will be a good one? A change of scenery is always good right?
Aside from finding my way into a new job I don't have any incredibly clear New Years resolutions because in a way I find that they're a bit stressful. I'd like to spend more time in nature and pay more attention to my diet. Perhaps spend a little bit more time rummaging around in bins for vinyl treasure too.
So, here is to a hopeful 2026!
