Back On Top!

It's been a while since I posted anything on here and maybe you are interested to know whats been going on in my life.....          
Well nothing interesting! 

Stress and depression was the main reason I never got around to posting anything on here. It did not help me having weird shifts at work which stopped me from kitting and dressing up! My secret life of a 'gear-head' was put on hold and nothing exciting was happening in my life. It was as if my life was on hold. Mid through the the year I was burgled and the house was ran-sacked. Those who burgled me went through everything I owned and even took my dog! (Charlie the Westie) beside taking my apple laptop and ps3, camera's and other electronic items to boot. The police tracked down the dog and Charlie was returned! A few weeks later my insurance company paid me out and all the stolen goods replaced like for like with brand new items. But, my life now was so much different that before. Having someone uninvited invading my home made me depressed and in turn working for a large retail company who did not really care what had happened to me made me sink further into the deep realms where I was heading. Getting my life back to where it was once before had to be the hardest task undertaken so far.
Time for change....

Things had to change! I had to get my life back on track and doing the same old, same old each and every day was making me old before my time.

Late 2011 was the start of big change in my life. Started with my car being wrote off in the company car park where I worked by an uninsured driver, who left the scene. The company I worked for did not really care about what had happened. They informed me that the security cameras where not on the car park but, instead where watching the cash machines being filled. So there was no idea who had crashed into my car! Then came Christmas and the start of the silly season. Work became hard when staff left and the company would not replace them. They expected everyone else to work harder. Those who know me know that the job I did was very stressful to start with and now was harder than ever. I was now working 6 day weeks with Sunday morning starts at 1am. But finishing on a Saturday afternoon at 5pm. Me time was cut back further again.

2012 The Year Of Change....
I know is now August but change is slow. But, now work for a fab new company in a great stress-free job, loads of me time which for a 'gear-head' is a great treat. I start early finish early! Have respect from my employer and better paid to boot. Started buying gear again and making new friends online where I have not done anything like it for ages.


Have had plenty of opportunities to gear up and have some fun. Now looking at buying a new mx bike and getting my life back in order. 2012 has been an excellent year so far for me and looking forward its right what people say about change being better than a rest.
