Hello Again. And Almost Goodbye
So not that I can imagine anyone’s paying any attention to this here thing any more, as it’s been so long since I updated, but I thought I should post something up again at last.
As will probably have been apparent when I was last posting way back last Autumn, I wasn’t in a very positive frame of mind about this whole ‘being San Franciscan’ thing, and frankly, haven’t really felt inspired to chat happily about living here on the blog.
Things didn’t improve, and to be honest, after trying repeatedly to find a way to get them to improve, or at least to be resolved, I finally decided I’d had enough of being messed around, and so I’ve resigned. I’ll be back in the UK in a little over a month, and out in the big wide world of trying to find a job.
And even though that’s a bit scary, I also feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Which tells me I’ve made the right call.
So with a slightly more positive feeling again at last, I might actually do some updating here to cover the lead-up to being (Fairly) Suddenly Not San Franciscan.

So sorry to hear it hasn’t worked out there Jon. Congratulations on making such a decision - it can’t have been easy. I’m sure it’ll work out for the best and I wish you the very best of luck. On a positive note the recruitment consultants are consistently telling me that the market’s picking up at the moment.

I shall offer my Congratulations and Commiserations in equal measure. There’s no point being unhappy at work. Life’s too short.
When are you getting back? I’ll be passing through SFO on the 13th of March before heading up to the mountains on the 14th.

Gosh, big news … sad that it didn’t work, happy that you have found a way forward!! Congrats on making such a positive choice for yourself. Hopefully see you when you are back in the UK!

Blimey - I know I’m late to the party, but sorry it hasn’t worked out.
There certainly seem to be more roles around at the moment - drop me a line when you’re back and I’ll throw some recommended pimps (sorry, recruiters) your way if you want.
