End of year round-up

Apologies, a little belated. It’s been a pretty busy December and I’m just catching up. Having realised I hadn’t yet posted my annual round up post I thought it was time!

A lot happened during 2019, yet seemingly not a lot happened. Overall it seemed to go pretty quickly in the scheme of things.

It was the last year of my twenties for a start… where did that go? It’s been a big decade for sure. I’ve just completed the third year at Nasstar for a start, the first job I’ve remained for this length of time since the beginning of the decade when I started out in IT. The IT industry as a whole is a volatile and fast moving industry and up until now I have found it difficult to remain in one job — either because I didn’t wholly get on with the people I worked with — or there just wasn’t any room for progression.

I had owned my own house for 5 years, and I honestly don’t know where that went either. When I first moved to Northampton in 2014, I really didn’t know anyone else other than the people I worked with, and even then I wouldn’t really call them friends. It has been difficult and a lot of the people I used to know I don’t really speak to much anymore even though in reality I’m not far away.

On the plus side I did propose to my girlfriend (finally, as she might say) but she has made me very happy.

Moving on into 2020 I can only try and be better as a person and human being, to try and travel more, and explore the world more. Time to make my 30s a good decade.

I’m thinking of doing some whiskey reviews. If anyone would be interested in hearing more let me know.
