On Sabbatical
I’m one month in, and I’ve not even blogged about it. Oops!
I’m on sabbatical for around a year. I’ll try to write a little about what I get up to.
Late last year I was thinking through my options, and decided it was time to try something a little different. As I was wrapping up for this sabbatical, I ran through all my holiday records. In nearly eight years of working in the UK with 5 weeks of holiday time each year, I had only once had more than a week in one go (And that was to come out to far-flung parts of my family, so was good, but not stress free!). What would I be able to do if I had a little more time?
After ten years in the software industry, I’m in the position to take some time away from my regular job as a sabbatical. I want to see if I can learn some things about myself:
- Do I want to integrate more cycling into my habits?
- Do I have the capacity to start my own software company?
I’ve got a year to figure out the answers (Eleven months from now…).
