It’s no secret here on the blog that I have not been enjoying my new job.
I might not like my job, but we love Canberra
In mid-2018, I moved out of the public service into the private sector. I’d been in the same department for 12.5 years, the only job I’ve had as an adult. It was time to make a change though, and while I don’t regret doing that, I have not enjoyed the new company I’ve worked at. Continue reading
