So I admit that I am not very good at keeping my blog up-to-date. However, this is probably because I am not a blogger and actually DO have other things to do than post nonsense on the Internet.
Since my last post in November (7 months ago) I have been really busy with the "new" job. I guess it is not that new as I have almost been there a year, but I feel like I am slowly getting the hang of it and what I am working on. I must say that when I see friends from business school, many of them tend to complain about their post-MBA jobs. I am lucky in that I really enjoy the work I am doing and the people that I am working with. It is a very different kind of company, but it is one that suits me well. I hope to stick with it for a few years. Whether all of those years will be in London remains to be seen.
Besides work, I have managed to do a little travelling (both work and personal) including time in Zurich, Brugges, California, and an awesome weekend in the Cotswolds where we rented a house with 14 friends for a long weekend.
I have also been working on getting my British drivers license, which is a colossal undertaking. Although I have had my US drivers license since the age of 16, it is a requirement in the UK that all non-Euros and non-Commonwealth have to reapply. The UK test is supposedly one of the hardest in the world, so I have been taking refresher lessons (especially as I am applying for a manual transmission license). It is probably more difficult to "learn" to drive after spending years driving as the way you are expected to drive in the test has absolutely nothing to do with the way people drive in reality.
So, that was a quick update on what I am up to. I am currently sitting on my balcony during one of the few sunny and warm days that we have had so far. I was hoping to go for a run in the garden, but I found out it was "open day" meaning they are letting anyone into the place and it is packed. Plan B will probably involve the pub.
