Mea culpa
My blog has been sadly neglected and I have nobody to blame but myself. It has been almost 4 months since my last entry. However, in my defense, those 4 months have been eventful and not always in a pleasant way.
Firstly, a cousin of mine, who was a year younger than me, died of cancer. That was a shock and really brought home the preciousness of time. I have spent a lot of time reflecting on life since.
Secondly, to use the HR terminology, I was impacted in a reduction of force in SUN, i.e., I was laid off at the start of October. I have spent most of the time since then getting my CV in order and searching for jobs. I have some interviews coming up and the market looks reasonably buoyant, so I am not too worried. I am still looking, however, and any pointers to interesting jobs in Ireland, the UK, or mainland Europe would be appreciated.
Lastly, on a pleasant note, I am just back from a holiday in Iceland. I really enjoyed that and it will be the topic of a later blog posting.
Anyhow, this is about as close to a meta-blogging post as I want to get. I will end it with an apology for the hiatus and a promise to post more regularly.
