The start of a new year makes one review life, smell the coffee (what ever that means) and take matters in stock. Well at least for the first few weeks anyway. Then you invariably carry on as usual. That's life, that's what all the people say.
Reading my previous Blog entry, before I deleted all the others of course, I can't believe over a year has passed since I closed my online Giftware business. Those were the days. I could work my own hours, make my own money and was answerable only to myself... well, and the Inland Revenue. When it was good, it was great. When it was bad, it was atrocious. To mis-quote Lord Alan Sugar, 'That's just business you brain dead!'. And who am I to argue with a made up mis-quote from him?
About 6 years into Online selling, not sure if you noticed, there was some kind of massive global recession type thing and I found suddenly in my mid-thirties (sort of) I had to get a job. There wasn't much about. Luckily after a short Part-Time spell working at a Supermarket, I managed to gain employment with a Bank. There was a short overlap when I was running the website and working Full Time too. This wasn't too much of a problem as the business orders had practically dried up to a mere micron of what they had been in the glory days.
So, what had originally intended to be a stop-gap job until the economy picked up again has now been going on nearing 18 Months. It's not the best job in the world and my level is a lot lower than in the past, but in the current job climate, I am pleased. Stress has gone, I have Free time on my hands again once in a while so will look at posting updates on this Blog every now and again.... maybe.
Here's to 2012. Good Luck to everyone taking part! Let me know if you find a Cheat Mode.
