'A job is only a job' is exactly how I used to think Tracey. Until I got this job, I couldn't wait to move onto the next one, I'd get bored after a year. This is the first one that I really enjoy, I keep waiting for the bubble to burst.
Fennel, I know we thought about moving to Scotland, I even went as far as talking to the Dean of the faculty but she just couldn't offer me all the flexibility I have here. All my study would be in my own time, I get that all given to me here. Most of the time I avoid all rush hour traffic and leave dd at nursery at 9.30am, I usually leave work at 4pm! That's no different to most lecturers but I mean, my manager knows how difficult it is and she is really brilliant. It's just soooo bloody expensive! I'm sure it's the same for you, I end up spending time working in the evenings after dd has gone to bed (I must add quickly, before you all think I live the life of Riley! ). Besides, dh wasn't too keen on starting all over again. The fact of it is, both of us might have to. Unless house prices plummet, of course.
I know it sounds like I'm moaning but really, I'm often just thinking and typing whatever just pops into my head IYSWIM??
