    Just handed over the letter I've been sat on for a week. I thought for an awkward moment he wasn't going to accept it.

    Now I've got the shakes and feel a bit sick. 😯
    Not looking forward to walking past my boss' desk on my way out tonight, I feel terrible for leaving..

    No going back now. Goodbye down south, MSc and Leeds, here I come!

    Excited, yet at once bricking it.

    Nice one. Bricking it and excitement is one of the best combinations leading to a lovely endorphin/adrenaline rush…get a beer down you and you'll be on top of the world

    There's a lovely bottle of organic cider waiting for me in the fridge when I get home…

    unfortunately only the one. I don't think that will suffice on this occasion. 🙂

    Christ I'm buzzing. Never done anything quite so reckless – I'm the sensible one.

    Roll on September!

    That's three names, but I like it. Get it changed.

    Oh, and good on you for doing it – at a time when people are stressing about keeping their jobs, it takes a brave person to sack theirs off. Chapeau!

    oh no uplink, it's been 12 years since my first studentdom. I've become used to a certain standard – not ready to fall *that* far 😉 Gone are the days of seeing how much farm stores bitter it took to get pissed.

    chvck wtf is frosty jacks? whatever it is, it can't be good!

    I think being a 'mature' student is going to be fun 🙂
    New trails, new riding buddies. Can't wait.

    when people are stressing about keeping their jobs, it takes a brave person to sack theirs off. Chapeau!

    Cheers omitn 🙂 Brave or daft? But tis only a job, and I've ditched an albeit well-paid and secure software job, for a new direction in something I actually believe in (Conservation). Won't make me rich, but then I've never been financially motivated.

    This cider is going down very nicely. and the indian's just arrived. Yay! Today is a good day.

    Jacking a job in is one of the best feelings out there – especially when they dont see it coming.

    well done, i have done it too, strange feeling having no job lined up yet, luckily i am in an economy where there is temp jobs – nursing
    but it feels like a massive load has been lifted off my shoulders!

    Well done to you too bw! 🙂
    I know what you mean about the load off your shoulders! It's a good feeling. bit scary. but good.

    Must ride more with the Trolls before I go up north! It's on my list of things to ride before I leave the south. (and I need to get my new jersey off mrs poddy!)

    Smee, I'm not that mean 🙂 . I warned them months ago that I was considering it. I think they thought it was a ploy to get more money, so they threw a bonus and share options at me (not that I'm complaining). I think that's why he was shocked when I actually did it yesterday – all they think about is the business and profit and work work work, I don't think they can actually grasp why anyone would give that up… sad really.
