Doing something new...

[graculus]

As of today, I am unemployed.

Readers of my previous posts on the subject of work may recall that I moved jobs at the end of last year after an absolute nightmare with my previous manager that led me to have a minor breakdown and get signed off work with stress and anxiety. While things started well with my new job, to put it bluntly, I then did something I shouldn't have done and that combined with last year's shenanigans has ended up with me getting the sack.

The only upside of this has been that their inability to deal with the matter in a timely fashion has at least meant I've been sitting on my arse and getting paid for it for a significant chunk of this year. That's helped contribute to my very fortunate position in that I should be financially okay while I look at what happens next. If I had dependants other than the fuzzbutts then it would be quite another matter and now at least it's all over and done with.

So anyway that's me done in terms of that line of work, which I was thinking about anyway to be perfectly honest, and looking now at an unexpected career change. To something or other about which I currently have no idea! ;)

It's pretty telling that the overwhelming emotion is relief, no?

Thanks, it kind of feels like this has been a long time coming, one way or another - my only regret is that the end of this particular chapter wasn't on my terms, rather than theirs, but there's nothing to be done about that now!
