not that i'm one to wish time away...

but this time in three weeks i will have left work...

for those of you that don't know, coz i've been reasonably cryptic, i am taking a redundancy and my last day will be thursday 9th april!

you know, it's been an interesting ride - the role i took in august last year has not exactly panned out as i'd expected, and in a nutshell, i have been largely unoccupied, and worse unchallenged...so i told my boss about a month ago, after a week or so we agreed that declaring the role redundant was the way to go and then the rollercoaster started. waking up at 3am wondering if i would ever get another job, wondering if the money they are going to pay me would be enough to keep me going for a while, sometimes waking up in a cold sweat with no apparent reason for being afraid...and sometimes just waking up with the most amazingly creative ideas for the next phase...weird!

then once i'd eased into the idea, i actually couldn't wait for the day to come, and that is the phase i am in right now! i see it as a fantastic opportunity for me to pursue a slightly different, and more fulfilling and enjoyable, career, with a handsome amount of dosh sitting in the mortgage to tide me over...i'm going to have a substantial break - something i have never really done! i mean sure, i've had holidays, but i've usually filled them up with doing things and visiting places - this break will be one where i simply relax and rejuvenate! i envision many sleep ins, many lunches with friends, lots of reading, watching dvd's, doing courses i wouldn't otherwise be able to do and just getting my groove back! bring it on...

sooooo 21 sleeps to go!
