So, I wasn't joking about the apathy

As the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed, it's been a while since my last update. I always knew that sticking with this was going to be a challenge, and yet, there is a certain ineffable right-ness about failing to regularly update a blog entitled Naturally Apathetic.

But, like some kind of superhero whose only superpower is that of the inane ramble, I am here to right this wrong, and start posting again! Hoorah! Well, for now at least, until I lose interest again. Meh.

This post, for what it's worth, will be an update on what I've missed in the interim, and as such won't be particularly detailed or amusing, but will serve two key purposes: 1) to kick off my posting again, and 2) to lay down some groundwork that I may later discuss. If I can be bothered, of course.

The last 9 months or so have been pretty eventful for me, to be honest. Perhaps most importantly of all, I've proved my junk works. Which is nice. I am man, hear me roar!
Yes, I'm going to be a dad. At some point within the next few weeks I will be responsible for a whole little person (a baby, not a midget/dwarf). Which is equally exciting and terrifying, and depending on which day you catch me, either emotion can be edging it. I’m sure that such a life-changing event will inevitably impact on what I write about here. I hope that’s ok. I'll try not to be too baby-focused, I promise.

Work-wise, a lot has changed. I finally got my long-overdue promotion, started to enjoy my job again and then got a new job, which I have now been in for almost 2 weeks. Same company, different department. Hopefully it will be good for me, and will edge me ever-closer to knowing what I want to be when I grow up.

Reading back over my early posts, I see now just how negative I was feeling, and so I think a fresh start is exactly what I needed. The situation I found myself in was, frankly, a point of no return. Fortunately for me, the opinions formed about me within my previous department were the opposite of those in my new department, and so I was able to secure a job I am wildly underequipped for!

Anyway, that's the gaps filled in for now. I really do want to keep this up, so I'll try to post again soon. Thanks for sticking with it!
