@26inprogress I did exactly the same thing about 15 years ago. I had the worst boss, a real bully, and I was so miserable I can’t begin to describe it. The feeling of relief when I handed my notice in was tremendous and there was something about dropping the safety net and seeing what turned up that felt very exciting. I had two calls from rival firms while I was driving home as word got out very quickly indeed. The vile boss had lost no time getting on the phone to tell clients I’d had some sort of breakdown and wasn’t trustworthy. The only damage he did was to his own reputation but if I met him in a dark alley there’s no telling what I’d do to him. Take your time over the next step, it can take ages to recover.
@Polkadotdash im glad to hear there’s a bit of movement regarding your health and pleased you found the appointment useful. Let’s hope the positivity continues.
@Zempy i really enjoyed Crete. We stayed a short distance from Heraklion in Stalis to make Knossos a straightforward trip. Our hotel was all we needed, scrupulously clean, lovely staff and good basic traditional food prepared well. There are some shocking reviews but for a three star it was very good indeed. Will definitely return to Crete but will try Chania or Rethymnon next time.
I’m still catching up so apologies to those I’ve missed mentioning.
