Are you going to keep on with your secret trial runs, til you have decided?
I only work 8 or 9 hrs now, and I earn maybe half as much as I did a couple of years ago. My earnings maybe half but I’m at least ten times as happy. I don’t have a difficult job now, no paperwork, no lengthy de-briefs, and best of all nobody on my case all day.
That said I’m nearly 70 miles from base waiting at a 7am delivery, next ones due at 8, but I’ll be over my hours if I drove straight back so will have to stop for a 30 min break. Suppose that’s a good thing, I can take a nap. So I’ll get a bit overtime today.
I think, on reflection, you’re wise not to rush into such a big change. You’ve got to make the decision based on what’s best for you though, not your son. That may sound harsh but I think if you done it just for his sake you might end up resenting the decisio. If you do decide to go along with it could you revert back to your current position if it wasn’t working out for you?
Bet you’re wishing you’d never mentioned a frying pan in one of your posts, but the tenner one from Morrisons is well worth it.
