Car crash of my life!

Well here goes! I have been lost for a long time and have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life. So I recently changed jobs and took an £8000 basic pay cut to go and do another job. The boss at the new company had told me I should easily be earning the same as my previous role over the year if I included my bonuses. Now I couldn't have been thinking straight as there is no way anyone would make enough property sales in this economy to earn £8000 in bonuses. Lesson learnt - Do not believe everything you are told. Lets just say the boss talked a lot of shit and left me in a financial mire I could not see a way out of.

Panic attacks over money, 2 weeks off work and a course of Diazepam later and I went back to the same shit job. Well Monday came and after a week being back I had enough. I worked out basic wage, divided by the hours I was putting in over the year, discounting bonuses and I was earning less than minimum wage. What the fuck!!!!!!!!! I have no idea why I did not see this before!

Anyway long story short I handed in my notice there and then! So I now have a weeks garden leave and one hell of a job hunt on my hands.

I have not felt this good in a long time! I am not stressed, I feel no pressure and I am actually smiling and laughing.

I guess I will have to wait until Tuesday to see if I have a new job because if not then it'll all start again! Now I have never taken a risk this big in my life before and it has kind of made me feel more alive! I have a job interview tomorrow so I am hoping for some serious luck!

Sorry this couldn't be funny or entertaining but I guess I felt the need to write it down! I'll keep you posted!
