Ch-Changes

Posted on January 5, 2007 - by John

I have decided to stay in Dublin (~~pending approval from my department currently~~) which means, my transfer to Limerick wonâ€™t happen (obviously). This decision on my part like many of my life changing decisions usually get debated about in my head for weeks, but are enacted so fast I wonder if I really did it, and then question the motive behind the action. So I am going to write here about why I did it (summary), excluding work related reasons, itâ€™s my policy not to write about my work.

Number one reason I guess is, I have decided to give Dublin a chance, although I have been here about six months already going on seven at this stage, I have yet to properly go out in Dublin to explore and meet new people, although I do have a few odd friends, the fact that I go to Limerick most weekends means that when in Dublin, I just work. So that is changing gradually, and although I found and still find many aspects of living in the city daunting I will plough on. I really miss walking/jogging in the wilds of Tipperary with the dog (and our wild cat shadowing us from a distance)

Two â€“ new friendsâ€™ and new things to do, – self explanatory

Three â€“ personal life â€“ and again I wont write about that on here â€“ too boring and private

Thatâ€™s it really â€“ but itâ€™s enough, my family and friends are peeved off a bit about me not coming home â€“ but there you are.
