Flying visit....

I'm having to go a long way, literally, in order to form a relationship with my New Love (the prospective employer) but He is also having to be patient and supportive with me

He has asked me to agree a tentative starting date of September 8th
He's keen to have me start working as soon as possible
I'm flattered

One reason why I am so impressed is His willingness to go the extra mile to make this happen, and the fact that he is happy to take on someone who thinks differently to most people, in fact Thinking Outside The Box (which always got me into trouble in the past because it made colleagues nervous) is expected in the new role. How great is that?

Tomorrow I'm flying from Dinard to Bristol and then I'll drive to Oxfordshire in order to view a house to rent. Not my first choice because that agent has not yet returned my emails to arrange a viewing but this other one sounds promising

This is new territory for me, renting a house, until now I've been an owner, and it's making me nervous but it's just one more step that I need to take if I am to dance with the New Love

Is all of this upheaval going to be a positive move?
Am I making a mistake in going back?
What If?

It's tough going it alone sometimes but I can't succumb to the temptation to lean on anyone else, even though I know that I could pick up the phone and summon someone it wouldn't be fair to him. I need to be strong and independent and true to myself

I keep reminding myself that this is what I've been longing for for months and the Ragazzi are so pleased that I have chosen to return and so proud of me that it makes my feel humble

The hardest step was finding a job, especially as the employers in the mainframe field that I've approached have all thought that twenty years solid experience and my skills are not enough.
All of those customers that I supported, coached through the problem determination stage, taught how to obtain good diagnostic and apply fixes, didn't want to know. That was hard.

It took my New Love to recognise my potential and appreciate my enthusism and offer me a whole new path that is, I am sure, going to be challenging but worthwhile
And I, for my part, am going to give 110% to my new role, I always do

One more step at a time, little Mouse, one more step...

PS The Universe has smiled on me again
The other agent just contacted me so finger's crossed I may end up with my cottage after all!
I feel so lucky right now
