Enough. No more. Three months ago I handed in my resignation and as per the terms of my contract have been working my notice period ever since. Tomorrow is my last day in corporate sh!tville.
No more 15 hour days. No more commuting crap. It stops tomorrow.
I have no other job lined up. I have financial debts and committments the size of most small African countries but I don’t care. I’m ever the optimist. Something will turn up.
The important thing is I’m going to be happy.
I’ve been told by various parties that I’m either being incredibly stupid or incredibly brave? Time will tell.
But I just refuse to line some other money grabbing bastards pocket whilst I continue on this treadmill and drive myself into an early grave. I just refuse to accept that this is my working life for the next 22 years.
Personal circumstances have meant my life has seen a sea change in the past few months and now I understand there is a life out there. That’s what I’m going to find. And I really can’t wait.
I propose to sleep for a week. Then I’m gonna take control of my life for the first time in my life.
It’s gonna be fab.
No More Corporate Whore

You didn't get carried away watching The Good Life one day did you?
Seriously, that must have taken guts and I hope it works out for you.

Good on you Johnny. I jacked in a stressful job years ago and have never regretted it. I can't say I ever found my niche or had a successful career since but I'm still a hell of a lot happier than I was doing a job I hated.Johnny M wrote:I propose to sleep for a week.

Congratulations, Johnny! It takes a lot of guts to take a step like this, but I think it is the only way to move forward, decide what you want and to let life take a more satisfying direction.
Take care, Eva.

Gaun yersel John!
Don't listen to the naysayers. They probably just wish they had the guts to do the same. I'm a firm believer that taking a risk pays off more often than not, if you go about it with a positive attitude. Which you obviously are.
The world's your oyster, mate. Very best of luck!

Great! Congrats. And without commuting, I hope, from now on you'll be up for a chat at a more civilized time.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.
