Return to Blogging

Well it’s been a long break between posts and for that I apologise.  Just been busy with work and other stuff which has meant I've not had the time to post as much.

Things are going well at the moment, as previously mentioned I've moved from one apartment in Tel Aviv to North Tel Aviv and Ramat Aviv, its going well and I'm finally used to the area and even got my room pretty sorted out... I have space to move hehe.  My roommate is very good and keeps me from leaving to much mess around the place; she is also a good friend and fun to hang out with... (No she isn't stood over me with a weapon!!!). Journey to work from where I am now living is probably similar to the previous place but I actually think I may have a few more minutes at home in the morning.  However the downside is if the bus is early, the train is late or vice versa, but can't have everything so I will just keep on going.

Work itself is going well, I've been in the position 3 months and I've passed the trial period and all appears to be going well so it looks like this will be permanent come the end of next week :-).  I'm still learning more about the job as there are things that the other person in the office has to do that I haven't done before.  Though for 2 days last week I had to do new things at work and though I was admittedly a bit worried I think I handled all without too many troubles or problems... well the business did not implode so that is good :-).  So the next time my colleague goes on holiday I should be okay to be on my own.

One good thing happening this coming week is my parents are here and its going to be good to see them as I haven't seen them in the flesh since February, yes talked to them on the phone and over Skype but it’s not the same as seeing them in person.  In a bad way my time with them is restricted as I will be working so I will see them in the evenings and the weekends whilst they are here, but then again it’s a good thing as it means that I'm working and earning money :-).

Final bit of the blog for today, I should mention as those who have seen on my Facebook Status it was my 2 year anniversary of coming to Israel and as I said there it’s been a tough road to get where I am, but I hope now that I am starting to settle down and build a life here and I know some people probably thought I would be back in the UK, I hope that being here two years now has proved them wrong.

Okay that's all from me for now, next time I post it will be about my parents and what we have done while they are here, so keep well everyone and I hope you enjoy reading.

Changes

Hi all, sorry it’s been a while since I blogged, been a busy few weeks and I've not had time to post, so I apologise for that, but here is my latest post.

Well the Jewish Festivals have now finished for the moment, so it’s back to normal in terms of work, no short weeks :-(.  However on the downside of having a short week, its mean a lot of work when I've gone back in.  This week was particularly bad, having been off for 10 days before last Sunday.  As such I was greeted by several hundred emails to deal with.  Still I knuckled down to the task and after putting in overtime, I think work should be back to normal this coming week, which is a good thing, though I keep thinking of the money that I've added to my wages which is also a good thing.

Socially I've not had much time to do anything with the aforementioned work and this week I moved from my place in Tel Aviv near the beach to Ramat Aviv to share with a friend, liking the area as it’s much quieter than other areas I've lived in so I'm looking forward to spending time in this area.

Otherwise not much to report, work is as I said work.  Am looking forward to my parents visit at the end of the month as the last time I saw them was in February so I can't wait to see them.  For now that is all, so this Adam saying bye for now.
