The last few weeks have been fairly stressful for me due to a number of reasons but most relate to some of the events of last year, which I have said was quite a hectic year and not necessarily for the right reason. It is not really the time or place to go in to details, but save to say it was a very steep learning curve for me, and it was a case of one step forward 10 steps back.
I moved employers during the year because I felt I had to, inorder to progress in life, However lots of other events happened during the year, which included work personal and family related. It was a year of worry.
I intend to fully bury all the ghosts of 2010, and look forward to the future. I know i will have to be very strict with myself, and be a little bit ruthless, It will take some doing but I will get there, Life is full of little battles, and we all have differant ones, some seem to others to be trivial, but our problems are exactly that our problems.
We all deal with them differantly, some totally shut off to the outside world, become introverts, or they find something and throw themselves entirely in to that, be it work or a hobby. Then some do both, and get to the point where they cant take anymore, then there are those, who let events sprial out of control to the point they just bury there head in the sand. Things get so bad they just give up, and just carry on even though they really should stop. This could be related to going bankrupt, or a major business failiure. There will be a point where action needs to be taken, but that person just shuts themselves away, avoids the problem, even avoids the people who are there for them no matter what. This person maybe screaming out for help, but to proud or stubborn to ask for it. Yes I share most of those traits. So time to do something.
Ok, now on to positive things now, So what does this week have instore for me, well nothing much this week, but the weekend after I am off to my first event of 2011, with my good friend Simon of transport menagerie fame, to the GCR steam gala. He is going for the purpose of an article, I am going just really to experiance the variety of locos and rolling stock. I am looking forward to it.
It amuses me that as time goes on the spirit of transport bashing carries on, where people are prepared to travel miles to travel on a particular buses, and yes they still use words like "hellfire" and describe non bashers as Normals. I have had enquires regarding the movements of my employers Leyland Olympians. It seems they have a big following in some quaters, well looking back it is no differant from me chasing round Leyland Leopards, Nationals, Bristol VR's Leyland Atlanteans and Fleetlines. To everyone reading wondering what the hell I am talk about, they are makes of buses. So there you go, and if you want to know what these look like then you are welcome to look at my photo collection, just make sure you have a load of proplus to keep awake.
On that note TTFN
