Coming to the end of the year, I'm not where I thought I would be at this time last year. It's been different, a year of changes professionally and definitely lots better than I could have ever hoped for. :) Last December, I was starting out, had got myself a permanent position for the first time in a long time (I had been there over a year already on 3 and 1 month 'contracts') but was being deeply undervalued both financially and in responsibility. Starting to look for another job in March, going through the pains of interviews, rejection letters, etc. until my current job was offered in October.

So this month, I am yet again, starting out in a new position. This time, working with people that may actually appreciate my skills (and I know they value me financially! :D) and let me grow in this organisation. It seems much more progressive and up to date. At least I can make decisions and do things without being "watched" and "monitored" so closely. So different to how it was meant to work before (not saying that was the way it was though ;))
