Moving Up In The World

I am starting my new job in a days time. I'm looking forward to it so much. For a long time in my previous job I was feeling so down because I didn't have the challenge I think I deserved and I knew that I had gone as far as I could with that company. In fact I started thinking that only a few months after I started. Even my manager told me I was the best employee he had ever had so I'm sure if it were his decision I would have been moved up within the company to reflect my ambitions and abilities. When I finished on Thursday I was so relieved as I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. That job wasn't right for me. Especially as I had no faith in the Managing Directors and to be honest they were not very good bosses. That company would have went bankrupt a very long time ago if it were not for one of them coming from a very wealthy family. It has been a great expereince for me though. I have learned so much and as my dream is to set up my own company one day, I have learned how not to run a company. No looking back now however. I know that in Euroclad the opportunities will be there for me and I am eager to gain the enthusiasm that I once had. MNG was so full of promise to me when I first started but that quickly fizzled out. I am sure that won't happen again.

Away from work, everything is as average as it was before. I still feel out of place living in Trehafod. I haven't spent a night out in Hafod for many years. I don't even spend time with any of my old mates anymore as I don't want to spend every night sitting in the pubs. There are people that live in this village who have done that all their lives and I don't want to end up like that. Am I snob or do I just have ambitions? A bit of both I guess. This place hasn't felt like home for a very long time. Over the past few months I have started to get close to Rhiannon and Gemma and they want me to move into a house with them. I hope this happens because I think it will be great but one problem may be coming to some sort of agreement on where we would live. Myself and Gemma have similar views but Rhiannon seems to be more in love with the local area than us. Hopefully we can sort something out.

Over the past few months nothing much has really changed. I am a member of a gym now and I absolutely love it. I have been a bit unlucky over recent weeks with injuries but I have managed to stick at it and I feel fitter than I have done for years. The only problem is I haven't really lost any weight as I still have a problem trying to eat healthier and of course there is still my achilles heel - chocolate. Hopefully the start of a new job will encourage me to start a healthier lifestyle, especially as there are no pubs around the area so I won't be having pub meals everyday anymore. My love life is still non-exsistent but I only have myself to blame for that one. Over the past few years I have built up a sort of wall around myself and I won't let anyone get close to me. Even if I am out I don't even try chatting up women and if I do meet someone on a night out, I don't even bother asking for a phone number, so I never have the chance to see if anything will develop. It is going to take someone really special to overcome that wall but I am sure she is out there somewhere.

Seeing that I have started the blog again from fresh, I will try to keep it up to date more often. I have said that before though. :-)
