Good riddance to old rubbish, I say!
However, it's not like I'm feeling any excitement or anticipation of good things to come. Nope, colour me cynical and world-weary if you must, but I sense it's just going to be more of the same for the coming year.
It could just be that my perception has been coloured by a few weeks, in particular, of things not going right - or even remotely according to plan - and therefore I've been feeling more sorry for myself than the norm.
However, I like to think my pragmatic intellect has analysed the situation carefully and I have come to the only possible conclusion: this year fucking sucked and next year is unlikely to be any better!
In 2012, I came to the realisation that things had come to a standstill, professionally, and that in order to continue to develop, I should be looking for opportunities, in Bad City or elsewhere, throughout 2013. Sadly, those opportunities were few and far between and, with one notable exception, I was apparently not even seriously considered for positions where I had not only the relevant experience, but also was currently working within that particular environment.
It's hard not to take it personally when it is entirely personal!
As I write this, I note that there is a local investigator position open within an organisation that had previously shot me down. I may have burned some bridges with this particular organisation when I alerted the media to what was obviously a corrupt network in regards to employment, but perhaps I could swallow my pride and apply again. This particular role is not the same as that several years ago, so the person I may have offended is unlikely to be involved in the hiring process, even if he is still involved within the organisation.
Otherwise, it has been a year of tinfoil hats, a record number of complaints, and otherwise getting no closer to any of the resolutions made in 2011.
Maybe next year, eh?
