I'm back!

I'm back!

A very inspiring person once said that if there is an elephant in the room, you better introduce it to your audience. So there we go: Jani and I broke up.

At a certain point, it was impossible to continue. I was losing my hair at a worrying speed, my ekczema covered half my calf, I had insomnia (I am actually the best sleeper I've ever heard of) and I was so anxious most of the time I felt that I could start crying at any moment. So, three weeks before Christmas, I decided to end it and it took me one week to carry it out, so I moved out two weeks before Christmas. I guess this was to be expected. I don't think I need to say anything about how difficult it was.

It's already been more than 3 months since I moved out and it's been getting better. I've been busy with my work, getting involved in some new projects, also starting to do sales besides recruitment. I also got two new clients, which means I have 4 major clients as Account Manager, which is quite a bit. I work a lot. No reason to go home at 6, after all, no one is expecting me at home. I'm often in the office until 8, except when I agree with friends to meet up for a drink or two. Or more. Irma expressed a concern about the fact that I often drink myself into a mid-comatose state, but I would describe that as part of the recovery process.

I've made a nice group of friends who are related to The Client: Yoel and Gergő are still working there in the HR department, Justy has given her notice, Miki started working for another client (funnily, he became my contact person there) and Ádám is a Consultant at one of our biggest competitors. It's a very cool group of people and it's a shame that we're gonna lose Justy as she's going home to Poland. Anyway, we already have our trip to Crakow arranged to visit her in April! I also started to go to gatherings (or rather house parties) organized by my former co-years from high school. That's also a nice bunch of people who like to eat and drink as much as I do. I also have trips planned to Italy, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands.

I think I'm on the right track.
