Heartland

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.

*hugs johnny SOOOOOOOO hard*

Is it to early to suggest the "Web-Cam and naked ironing"idea again !.

only if he has groin flame tattoos.

Contrary to popular understanding, flame decals don't "make it go faster".

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.

well done.

"A ship in a harbour is safe, but that's not what ships were built for"

all the best Johnny!

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.

Good on yer John.

*currently wondering if I have enough bollocks to do the same...

You know what I think already Divine Mr M.

Lets hope that our respective new careers give us both a new lease of life!

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!

Me neither, it took me three months to get a job!
Best of luck, Johnny, I'm terribly jealous.

if it's any help, i'm MUCH happier than i was last year, even without a job now.

Great! Congrats. And without commuting, I hope, from now on you'll be up for a chat at a more civilized time.

You know what they say; no-one ever looks back and says "I wish I'd spent more time at the office"

Congratulations and good luck with deciding what you want to do and going for it

Something will turn up because you will make it happen
