Only freedom will do

Secret_Saving_Squirrel

The yellow sounds fab. You are a resourceful man and I am sure that you will find something more suited to your skills than the job you currently have. Very good luck.

Thanks Squirrel, I feel newly empowered (if terrified) now that I have made my mind up

The painting goes well, just another coat of gloss to be done tomorrow. I went to mask the window frame and managed to stand on the freshly painted sill. Never before in the field of human endeavour has the phrase 'Oh !!!!!!!' been used so many times by one person

It's a staple in our car

• 7 mile run complete
• Making houmous and gazpacho
• Listening to some calming classical music
• Showered and shaved, plenty of time for QT with Mrs E
• Made £6-7 from a couple of small free bets

What music are you listening to?

Nom, nom, nom . Have you tried salmorejo Ed, I prefer it to gazpacho :T. Glad I'm not on iPad as I suspect I'd be asking if you'd tried salmonella :rotfl:.

I can so relate to this, I've noticed it before that when I had decided to leave a job it was a liberating experience, excitement mixed with a bit of fear of the unknown.

In my current job I decided in December last year I couldn't take any more, I have been trying to get out of the place for years but wanted the right job, in December last year I decided to apply to go back to uni, and the instant I got my acceptance letter from uni this huge weight lifted off of my shoulders, I knew then I had made the right choice, I've been trying not to get too excited about though as it isn't happening for a while yet, but the last time I was night shift I counted down how many shifts I have left to do.

If you've made up your mind and u have that sense of relief, then you just know you've done the right thing

Liking the yellow colour as well

I have not and I have to confess that I've never tasted or made gazpacho before (although I've ended up with a lovely fresh and flavourful soup that is exuding tasty vegetable scents) :T

Thanks El, I think you're right. Will need to be very frugal over the next couple of salaries, would like to have a boosted EF if it comes to quitting without a replacement.

Mrs E is now joking that she wouldn't mind me being unemployed for a while so that I could serve as a painter/decorator

Never tasted salmorejo or gazpacho :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:. Tut tut. Though to be fair I've only made gazpacho once (amazeballs :T) and only had salmorejo in Spain when someone else has made it .

Hi Mr E,

Good luck with the job hunting. I hope you can resist the temptation to end one job on the Friday and start the following one on the Monday. Having a few days off between jobs, even if you just sit at home and chill, would give you a chance to clear out any lingering stresses the old job has left you with.
