Call me Sir Brian

It's official! I signed an employment contract with Cerner's UK affiliate today. For the next two years (possibly longer), I'll be working in London for Cerner Ltd. That said, I have a few mixed feelings. I've been missing my family and friends in KC and elsewhere for the past couple months now. I look forward to coming home in the next month to tie up some loose ends, see my family, hang out with friends, eat some real BBQ and American steaks (English beef is horrid), watch American sports, and just about everything else that makes America great.

In the meantime, I'm finding myself super busy with work, finding a permanent flat, getting work permits and visas squared away, etc. If I weren't spending all my time getting my life in order, I'd definitely be enjoying all that London has to offer - pubs, diversity, museums, easy access for travel, soccer, big city life, and the list goes on. Who knows??? Maybe I can entice (some would say con) more friends to visit or meet me somewhere exotic in the coming years. Anyone fancy a trip to Portugal or Greece or Thailand this year - seriously? Of all the perks that come with signing a UK employment agreement, five weeks vacation every year is top (or near top) of the list.

See all you Kansans soon!!!
