Hi All,
Thought I'd contribute my compromises, and this isn't just related to GID/NBE, but actually some pretty significant life style choices. Approx 18 months ago I was looking for a new assignment in my company, and that meant changing from one building to another. Unfortunately this didn't work out, and I got a job 15 months ago with an old boss in another country. As such my current job is direct board reporting level, which means any ideals of not being public facing have gone. The compromises are, selling up my place and moving, my so of the time didn't want a long distance, and obviously I cannot realistically thing about proceeding.
The unexpected outcomes are that I am quite alone, especially at the weekends. My hobbies are not readily available, and the locality is too small to have a more 'cosmopolitan' lifestyle choices available in large cities.
I have found settling down a lot harder than expected, and still do not have a good social life here, nor many friends. It is not easy being an introvert.
However I have some gay colleagues, and they have started inviting me to things a bit more, and I like their community, it is a shame that PM stops you drinking like a fish.
