I'm posting this earlier than usual, as my transition phase to my new team has mostly involved deputising for my former team leader by doing the minuting list, and providing some very minor post-meeting support for the Chairs, so I’m enjoying the relative peace and quiet before I get really busy in my new role.
I went into the office on 5th December to meet the new team and have a catch-up with my new TL, particularly around my health history, and she commented that I will definitely be busy but it will be a different type of busy – less high pressure / immediate deadlines but probably more to juggle. It has at least reminded me that I was actually quite keen to move / start the new role back in January last year, but all the intervening nonsense meant I was constantly fluctuating over it. None of the stuff is unachievable or particularly difficult, and the only bit I’m not really looking forward to is the supervision of staff, but fingers crossed I won’t have to make myself unpopular.
Anyway, I don’t think things will properly start moving til January, when the ground floor refurbishment of our south venue is completed and the Head of Service has decided how often he wants people to be in. At present I am expected to go in on Tuesdays, to our Aston venue, which suits me just fine.
That being said, the year in review meme is incoming, though I imagine it will be fairly brief considering my life has been on hold for 11 months!
( 2023 in Review )I think that’s it!
I know I say this every year, but I will try and update more regularly next year, and hopefully escape Twitter to somewhere better.
