    lol NOW i get it.....

    they are the people who dont HAVE to do it in the present... you know the type, the do gooders who tell you how easy something is because theyve been doing it for years, and make you feel pants because you're still sat on your backside doing nothing.....

    I recommend the following to anyone
    100 things in 1001 days.... my friend i was chatting to last night (thanks Lynz) sent the link to me and its amazing... im stuck on around number 60 for my list...

    "they've" got nothing better to do than give out advice obviously :D

    what's the 100 things in 1001 days?

    its basically a list

    You all know how I love my lists

    Its 100 things to achieve in 1001 days...you get to make a blog about it and everything.... it was really good to write it, gave me a sense of direction.

    Had a difficult chat with boss earlier,just about where my heads at, what i want to do in life and basically told him about our plans. Its a strange relationship we have so I didnt feel guilty for telling him, but i know he's hurt that I feel in order to grow and heal, that I need to change location etc, but essentially he's really supportive and is going to help me out for the next few months with some new skill sets and life coaching to help me achieve my 100 :)

    Hey CAFC,

    You sound in much better form. Fair play to your boss, it sounds like he is being very supportive.:)

    my boss has turned LOL

    He said some things earlier that were a bit weird, I cant really explain it.
    I dont know if I've done the right thing or not, and now its a bit OH MY GOD! But I do need some time to myself i think. I dont know what we'll do money wise.... its going to be really hard..... so basically not sure if I havent mdoade a huge mistake, but then I think about the future and think.... but this is what i need to do to get where i want to be,just maybe wasnt the brightest way of doing it....

    any suggestions?

    What exactly did your boss say?

    I suppose no matter how supportive/nice he is,he is still going to be losing a hard worker so might not be very objective when helping you with planning the future
