Life As A Yahoo!
First off, apologies for the lack of updates lately. As you might have noticed, there have been many changes in my life over the last few months. In a nutshell, here’s the lowdown:
- We’ve moved house. If life couldn’t have been made any more complex with an eight month old baby and changing jobs, things have been a little stressful with moving house too. I mentioned previously that we’ve found a new house in Rugby but we have now been living there for just over a month. Thankfully, its a brand new building so maintenance and decoration is minimal. Still, moving house is time (and energy) consuming so you can imagine how tired we all are.
- I now work at Yahoo!. Last Monday, I started my job as a Web Developer at Yahoo! UK in London. After working in local government for nearly four years, the change has been quite overwhelming. Not only am I now sitting amongst the most talented Web developers on the circuit, I’ve also had to jump on a pretty huge project right towards the end of completion. Obviously, they’re not expecting a lot from me in the first few weeks but I am doing my utmost best to fulfill any expectations.
- Greece is calling. Tomorrow, I am going away with the immediate family for a week in Corfu. The holiday was planned way before all this other stuff cropped up but we are in desperate need for a break after the stresses of moving house, changing jobs and the first nine months of parenthood. Even with one of the worst heatwaves in European history awaiting us, we can’t wait to just relax by a pool away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
- The podcast will be delayed. With all this going on, I’ve not had time to find the material to collate in to a mix for the podcast. The majority of the work is done but you’ll probably have to wait until after the holidays for your next dose of One Phat DJ. Apologies to all those subscribers who are eagerly awaiting some uplifting funky house during the dismal British Summer - it’ll come, I promise!
That’ll do for now. I just thought I should update the blog after nearly a month of nothing. Enjoy your Summer!
