Me in the play Julius Casear! |
Hi #Treksters long time no see! I hope your all having a great weekend! I’ve got to admit I’ve been a #naughtytrekkie in terms of breaking my New Year resolution (getting a blog post out every month this year)…as it just hasn't happened.
This is due to a combination of factors
in my personal life…including looking for a new job, which has
taken up a lot of my time.
Which brings me onto the whole reason
why I am writing this blog. As you can tell from my title, I will be
going on a Temporary Leave of Absence shortly from the podcast like
Simon did towards the end of last year.
I’ve thought
about it and spoken to both Simon and Phil who have agreed to give me
the time I need to look for a new job without having to focus on the
podcast as much. I can also focus on aspects of myself and spend more
time with friends and family.
Obviously during this time, I'll still
be around on Facebook and Twitter, but I’ll try devoting some time
to blog post writing…as I have a few ideas up my sleeve. Of course
I’ll still be in all of our episodes.
But just like when Simon went on his
break, I’ll be taking a (temporary) step back from any production
work (podcast editing), and instead swapping jobs with Phil.
Meaning that he’ll be responsible for
editing our episodes, whilst I’ll be in charge of uploading the
episodes onto SoundCloud for the first time.
Something which I haven't done before,
but I am looking forward to doing it and it'll be a great learning
experience!
Me, Simon and Phil at DST3! |
I’d just like to take a moment to
thank Phil and Simon for all their support during the tough times
I've had to face over the past couple of months. I’d also like to
say thank you for always being there and helping me, whether that’s
just giving me advice or just simply listening to what’s going.
Lastly, I also want to thank you
Treksters, our listeners and fellow podcasters for your continued
support of our podcast. We really appreciate it!
Anyway I think that's all, except to
say I'll be going on my leave on Sunday 17th April at
midnight and will be coming back to the podcast Monday 1st
August at midnight.
Until next time this is Jamie from the
Engage Podcast warping off into the unknown. Punch it!
