Off into the great unknown

[squirrelciv]

Had my last day in work and leaving party last night. I am officially unemployed until Jan 2nd when all things previously thought of as normal get turned on their heads. All a bit scary really, I've no idea what I will be doing in my new job but I do know it will be a world different from the last. No more 6am starts, no more scruffy clothes and no more coming and going as I please. Wife tells me this is my "Grown up job" and at 43 it's probably about time but this is all a bit 'thing'.

Wish me luck chaps, I feel as I'm jumping over a wall, not knowing what's on the other side, but excited all the same.

best of luck in your new " grown up job "

Good luck with all the changes Squirrel

I generally hold in mind that change is the same thing as stress and, especially for a new job, work on about six months to find your way to the new rhythm, with the first three being the most stressful - new place, new people, new routines, new 'rules', new landscape, new everything. Happy days and good hunting

Some really good advice ther from Steve, it's always hard to start a new job expecially if you have been in your last one for a while.

Yeah - success is almost as stressful as the bad stuff. Seems so unfair.

Don't worry dude it'll be alright and if it ain't then you can always do summat else

Started a new job meself begining of December, swapped a cushy staff job for the excitement of contracting, lots more money and interesting ways to avoid paying Mr Brown and his Darling, but you have to set up a company and do books and VAT and stuff no just send it all to the accountant I say and get another beer in

Yep it'll all be ok mate. Good luck!
