Out Of Routine

Things both in work and personal life aren't running to routine lately. Those who know me know I'm a bit of a time freak and everything has its place in the day. Lately, though, my timeline has become quite varied. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just something I'm not used to.

For example, my colleague's wife has just given birth to their first child (congratulations) and, from today, he starts his two-week paternity leave. I'm temporarily returning to the position I was in when I first started the job, running the network alone.
It's a job, I believe, I do well. I just haven't done it alone for some time. I guess it will be a little reminder of what life used to be like. I'm also hoping, although these expectations could be massively too high, that the rest of the staff understand that I'm ok my own and give me a little leeway. Ha!

As well as that change in work I'm being scarily social this coming weekend. We're doing lots of things running into next week including seeing Bill Bailey at The Lowry, Manchester on Saturday (tweet me if you're going, too), Blackpool on Sunday and my girlfriend's parents staying between Monday and Wednesday. I'm socially busy. It's weird.

I started writing this before heading to work this morning. It's now lunchtime and, touch wood, things are running quite normally. No major problems and I've succesfully completed several jobs.

Change could be a good thing.
