A digital misfit

Hmmm, where to start…? Firstly, I suppose, a request. What follows is not yet public knowlege, I would appreciate it if it were not discussed with or in the presence of anyone you don’t *know* is on my friends list, at least until I post a public entry on the subject (yes, I know you all spend your entire lives just waiting for the next piece of juicy gossip about me).

Following my interview last week I’ve accepted a verbal offer for a job based near Fulham Broadway, in London. Right now this sounds like an interesting role, its with a small-ish startup who spun out of one of the mobile carriers. Its got a buzz. But I can’t really talk too much about what they’re up to, or what I’ll be doing there. Mostly because I don’t really know yet, there is some public service they offer and I’ll give you some links to that once I know more about it. No paperwork has arrived yet, so I’m currently in a weird position of having half resigned from my current job, but not having set a date for leaving. That can be fixed when the offer letter arrives.

What does this mean? I hope it means the end of some of the stress I’ve been having with my current job, it means I’m going to be moving back to (or maybe close to) London, which, of course, presents its own stresses. It means another change of context.
