I'm not crazy, I just have another conciousness in my brain

It's been a while. I need to get back into the habit of updating, although I expect I haven't updated here because my life hasn't really updated.

However, now it has. It's had updates installed, and really surprisingly quickly. Like AVG.

I have a new job, and it requires a new home *resists urge to panic wildly* However, I am escaping the failed experiment of working for The Man. The Man, incidentally, has just informed me of my sixth office move in less than two years. Your council tax at work ladies and gentleman.

Anyway, my new job is as a research associate at the University of Worcester on a qualitative research project into good/bad practice in care homes. This is my field. And they're *paying* me to work in it - it will be excellent prep for a PhD, and involve me reading interesting things and anlysing stuff and coming up with theories *for money* . I'm hoping there might be a dusty office with books. The only downside is that it will mean a move away from the frontline staff training which I love - but I'm hoping that won't completely disappear,and might just take different forms.

I almost didn't apply because the essential requirements included a PhD, but did on the off-chance as everything else they wanted I had in spades and voila!

So now I have to move to Worcester. Anyone know anything about Worcester? (other than the fact it floods quite a bit). So far I know it has a costa coffee, caffe nero *and* a coffee republic, so therefore cannot be bad. I've also managed to track down a gym that does good classes (I know, somewhere along the line I've turned into a person that chooses houses based on whether they're close to a *gym*, when did that happen?) just need to locate decent yoga classes, find a rented property that will take cats and a place with enough green stuff and not too many cars so that the cats don't panic. Also possibly fit cats with armbands.

And then move and start a new job all before June. *breathes deeply*
