So at the start of January I left my work at the University of Hertfordshire, thus ending my employ as a researcher in algorithms and adaptive systems to concentrate instead on my research. At the end of January I reminded them that my notice had been for the start of January and that I'd actually left. That reminder resulted in more work being passed my way.
I have just agreed to work some more contracted hours for them, but have managed to get out of organising a conference on automatic differentiation this summer. I am proud, and feel that I have proved myself not to be a workaholic (as my taxi driver the other night insisted).
I will properly leave them at some point I am sure.
On a separate note I am setting up Eventyr Ltd. as a vehicle for me to do some contract consultancy arising from my research on communication in Agile Software Development. I’m still finalising what I need to know and do to put this in place, but I shall speak about this more soon.
