I don't have many UK followers, but if you are and you haven't already done this, have your say

I’m in year 2 at my current job, which was actually awesome the first year I worked there, we’re barely past January now, and… it sucks.

The people remain great, the boss is still probably the best boss I’ve ever had my entire career, the work itself is actually interesting… and yet.

Budget cuts and dwindling staff are making it nearly impossible to do a good job. I’m the only functional analyst on 3 major impact projects and the only analyst doing RUN management and RFC/RFI tickets for our finance department, and all the deadlines converge because we have only 1 dev team and 1 sprint planning for everything. It’s the job of 2-3 people and I’m on my own. My two (2!) coworkers are similarly overloaded.

We used to have 10 analysts and 5 project managers. Now there’s 3 analysts and 2 project managers, for the same amount of work.

I’m not sure how long I can keep doing this, and this was the job I actually thought I’d be able to stick with long-term. I liked it here.

Chai Day -  While the Indian beverage dates back nearly 5,000 years, the chai served in homes and coffee shops today comes in many forms. For traditional chai, steep it with black tea leaves. Add whole milk for the richest flavor. The most common spice in chai is cardamom.

Escapology Day - Practitioners of Escapology are known as escapologists, and among their number you’ll find such notable names as Harry Houdini, the Davenport Brothers, and John Nevil Maskelyne, just to name a few.  These artists performed incredible stunts involving their escape from seemingly impossible situations, some of them putting them at such risk that it cost some of them their lives. The term itself came to be thanks to Norman Murray Walters, a contemporary of Harry Houdini and highly respected escapologist.

With New York City as the epitome of a melting pot long before the term was coined, the state is full of inspiration for artists, sparks intelligent debate and philosophical discussion.

Pecan Cookie Day - Pecan is an Algonquian word, meaning “a nut requiring a stone to crack.” A member of the hickory family, the pecan is native to central and southern United States. One of the best ways to enjoy the celebration is by having freshly baked pecan cookies straight from the oven.
