And Follow Through...

Well I've done it, I've handed my notice in at work. So I've one month tied to a desk, and who knows what thereafter :)

I think they took the news ok, I'm not sure they were that surprised however. On asked why I wanted to leave I took the diplomatic route and told them that "IT just wasn't for me anymore, I wanted a change" so that left few feathers ruffled I've no doubt. I think it pays to be nice about these things expecially if one requires a reference or such like.

So not surprisingly my day at the office went pretty well, and quick enough and I felt the happiest I've ever been there safe in the knowledge there was light at the end of the career tunnel!

Having spoken to my line manager I think he was quite envious of the fact I'd decided to take the leap out of IT for something more enjoyable (even if that does mean less money) afterall, whats the point of having loads of cash if you don't have the time to spend it, or you drop dead with stress before you get to fritter it away on those luxury items you'll never use because your trapped at work saving the internet world much as Jack Bauer saves America on a regular basis.

Snarf... anyway. It's done, I'm proud of myself for making the decision and actually sticking to it. What remains now is to see what I fancy doing instead.
