Not always greener

[roo27]

Hi friends and can i start by saying its nice to be back at op.

Now id like to tell you all a little story if i may and ill begin by going back about a year and a half to when i was at work 1 day and got to thinking i was boured with my job and thought to myself "i could be doing so much more than this"
so as my girls where getting older and needing me at home less disided to put in some work to move myself along in life a bit so i went back to colage and inrolled in 3 new courses.

Over the next year i compleated them 3 and even took on a 4th so i would have all i needed for the new direction in work id been wanting and started aplying for new jobs and was very happy when with in weeks id been oferd what seemed to be my dream job so i handed in my notice and moved to a new place of work. (this is when i disapered from op)

That was about 4 mounths ago and i think you could say my life has been a living hell ever since as i found myself in a job i didnt like working with pepol i couldent stand and working between 55 and 70 hours a week untill last week when i litraly reached bracking point and went to lunch only to never retern after walking out.

now iv been very lucky in the aspect that i managed to get my old job back within 3 days. but it has defanatly been a life lesson lernt.

It gr8 to have something to aim for and good to try and inprove your self but never under estamate being "comftable" yes my job maybe boring but im content i have time at home with my family and i can now sleep at nights and now i find this more inportent than anything.

in conclution im reminded of the old saying "be carefull what you wish for as you might just get it"

your friend as always
Roo
