A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

40yr Service at Work

 


So this Wednesday, 13th September, marked my 40yr service at work - wow!

25yr spent in Software and the last 15yr in Planning.

Here's a closeup of moi as a fresh faced 18yr old, part of the 1983 HND in Computer Studies intake along with a group of apprentices and YTS peeps. How times flies eh?

My team pushed the boat out quite spectacularly with flowers, a card and two gifts both personalised by our talented Jane and both wonderful keepsakes of what is quite an achievement. The company will pay me £500 for the privilege in next month's pay "packet".

Having come close I think to potential redundancy on a couple of occasions I feel proud to have stayed the distance, in years to come service such as mine will be less likely as people change jobs more often and start working later in life.

Time to start counting down to retirement me thinks ;-)
