a detour on the career path

Work has taken an interestingly meandering path of late. Two weeks ago I was drifting along without any real purpose in my job, then last week I became a boatbuilder, up to my neck in carbon fibre, and this week I am the manager of the new test laboratory! This means I have multiple super-urgent projects to complete, not the least of which is to actually equip the test lab with test equipment. Lab Manager is a bit of an empty title, as I’m the only one I get to manage; I’m more of a glorified lab technician than anything else. But that actually suits me fine. It is work that I enjoy, and it will be extremely valuable experience, along with the opportunity to put the word ‘Manager’ on my CV at last! I can’t wait to start breaking things with the new Instron UTM.
