A few months of updates

Location: Kansas City, Missouri

So, its been a few months once again.

What has the digger been up to?

Well, I made it back to Ireland and England and had a blast. Driving/riding passenger in a car in Ireland was a little more terrifying that I had hoped. Ryanair still manages to continue its love/hate relationship with me. This trip was different from any other I've been on, though I would do a few things differently if I had the chance to do it all again, less things for sure. I couch surfed for the first time which was Awesome, thanks Dylan and Maude.

I've been thinking a lot the past few weeks, and I feel I am in a rut. I'm content with my current job at the moment, though it doesn't really offer me what I aspired to do in my lifetime. I have applied for a few jobs internally but they never seem to amount to anything and I keep getting promised "you'll go far in the company" but in reality I haven't seen anything. So right now I find myself writing a CV for the first time in my life. Sure I've written plenty of Resumes, but instead of writing a CV I find myself updating my blog which has gone grossly unattended over the past couple of years.

So the Big challenge is, if I apply for some of the jobs that are now back up that were on hiatus for over a year, and I get an interview, and with luck get a job offer, what will I do? Kansas City has been great for me this past year. I've definitely changed my views towards the place I have grown up but I'm not sure this is the place for me anymore, I would like to move on. So I think its time for me to throw my hat into the ring, and start applying for jobs again. Maybe the feeling of this rut will pass, maybe it won't but it is always good to know what your options.

Who knows, maybe my next post could be from Edinburgh.
