i know i’ve been quiet the past few days – a combination of being busy, and waiting with bated breath for our holidays. t minus 2 days and counting.

but in the meantime… i have finally applied for another job. it’s a difficult move for me – i feel like i have a lot invested in the place i’ve worked for the better part of the last 5 years, i feel very indebted. and in many ways, i still don’t have a lot of confidence in my job skills here in the u.k. it’s taken me a long time to learn the system, to not feel self-conscious opening my mouth in new situations, to begin to understand some of the myriad intricacies of the workplace, and in particular, local government.

but life is too short to spend 35 hours a week being miserable, and if you don’t do something about it, you are then complicit in causing your own misery. i don’t want to be responsible for that. i deserve better. even if i don’t get this job, i’m stepping out of the rut and moving on.

so, fingers crossed, and holding my breath. that’s what i’m doing today.

more tomorrow.

cake – waiting
