Back Into The Frying Pan

With my long, and slightly stressful weekend out of the way, it back to the bollocks as I return to work. It's not too bad, I'm back to working 2 days a week now which is cool.

I manage to keep out of trouble in work, just getting on doing stuff and there is plenty to keep my busy. I nip to the post office at Lunch to pick up a parcel which was "too big for our letter box" and it turned out to be the camera ruck sack that Phil had ordered which should nicely house our growing camera collection.

In the afternoon I find out that yet another person is leaving the company, this time its a chap who does a bit of everything from front end work to back end stuff, and he's decided to go as he has got himself a job back where he used to work. Apparently he finds it too stressful at our place, which I wouldn't agree with entirely, but then I'm not doing his job and so have no room to comment.

Its a bit weird all these people making life choices. I had a good chat with my mum about things when I was in Wales at the weekend because even at 28, I still don't know what it is I want to do for my career. Oh, IT is fine and dandy and pays well enough if you get a cushtie number, but I'm still of the impression that I am not, and have never been cut out for office work. It's not me really - there is too much politics and backstabbing and life is too short to get tangled up in hatred and deceit just to get what you think you want only to discover that you didn't want it in the first place.

So thats left me with a lot of thinking to do about what I should be trying to achieve. So far I've thought about going back to Uni to do something like Psychology, or Photography - but I've also been thinking about taking up a traineeship with a brewery who will teach me all I need to know about running and owning a pub - something which has always tickled my fancy. And if I'm incredibly big headed about it, I'm a dab hand at tending bar.

It's all stuff I need to mull over, but what I'm doing now a stop gap will suffice until I've made my mind up.
