The school of life...

So today was another completely disrupted day as the issues at work continued and I spent hours reconfiguring the Software in the office and at the warehouse to use a different channel to the US server.. I spent the afternoon trying to work with spreadsheets and get nearer to producing August numbers and avoid people calling me to moan or try and sell me "some special deal " or in the case of the many recruitment agents who chose today to call - "that special new someone!" For the team..

I'd booked onto the course "find a job you love" when I saw it advertised in the Stylist free magazine and decided that given the current work situation and dissatisfaction and uncertainty I have then it could be useful to go along and see what suggestions / advice someone could offer.

The school itself is a shop with a room underneath where the seminars/talks are held. I was amazed that the group was about 25 in size and that once we got into it so many other professional people felt as frustrated and disillusioned with their current career path as I do..

An interesting couple of hours ensued, confirming what I thought - I definitely need the break that is on the horizon from the current job and the pressure of staying an Accountant because that's what people think I should be and need to do.

I want to do something I feel more passionate about, something more inspiring and fulfilling than number crunch! I'm fed up with being behind desk working for idiots who do not respect their staff!


It sounds very mid life crisis, which it maybe given the big birthday that's rapidly approaching but I want to get out see things and meet new people in a more productive way.

So the next 6 months will be ones of change, of thinking about what to do next and finding ways of doing it, small steps along the path to finding the perfect job (s)... If possible!!!
