I’m finding I’m not remembering technical details in my vocation as easily as I used to.

No surprise there … but it’s frustrating. 😠

It means I have to spend more time thinking about things I used to pick-up easily and without too much thought.

Which is somewhat of a problem as my role incorporates a highly technical component.

I remember thinking back to my interview and what I said about my skillset and how I said it.

And I’ve belatedly realised something.

I can tell a wonderful story!

But at some stage you have to be able to back-up the story with ability!

And that’s testing me.

I think it’s just a time thing and that I will eventually get it back … but I hope sooner rather than later.

I’m also finding I’m exhausted after the day finishes.

I’ve tried to fit in some exercise when I get home, but I admit it … I’ve had to condense some things until my mind and body adapt to my new current life.

One pleasing thing I’ve noticed is that I’ve been paid my first pay in over 10 years. 🙂

It’s nice to see my bank account actually go up for a change, instead of its gradual decline over recent years.

How long that lasts is anyone’s guess with the level of exhaustion I’m currently feeling.

But for the moment, I’ll take the small wins and keep moving forward.
