As some of you will know I had some unplanned time off a few weeks ago. This gave me some space to think and what I mostly thought is "why am I spending so much time in a job I really don't like?".

Well done on quitting your job. That must have been a scary decision to make.

Good luck with that :)

Thanks.

Looks like big life changes are the in thing this year.

I should really come round and see you soon. I finish work in a couple of weeks so perhaps then.
