First one read on my company's Spirit Day, an attempt to understand more about the industry I work in. I feel more and more the technology side of things slipping away from me. I still think what I does add value, and I get good ratings and feedback, but so much seems beyond me and I'm very much a generalist now rather than an expert. My value seems to come in my approach and attitude rather than deep knowledge of any technology. I'm thinking more and more about the future though and whether I want to be working in this role or change career. now the mortgage is paid off and we are relatively financially secure, I could do something else - maybe teaching or working in a library. Is this just idle wish fulfillment though? It would also mean a big comedown in salary, so I guess I'll keep doing what I am doing until redundancy comes around, which I think may be inevitable. Then I can take the payout and have a think about what I really want to do. 'The Road' was a micro-study tracing and tracking the course of a section of Roman Road in Cambridgeshire. Very interesting, and how incredible to be able to go out tramping and recognise old bits of pottery and metal and be able to reconstruct a history from it. Libby is at home today as she was very sick following her show. It could be something she has eaten, it could be the comedown from the ballet show she was in last week (it really took it out of her - nerves, late nights, etc), but hopefully she will feel better soon. Already today she seems more chipper
