I've been working for my current firm for over 6 years now. They've been good to me over the years, but the department is falling apart at the seams. So time to move on. Or is it? Day in, day out I'm coming up with ways to try and pursuade people to leave the comfort of their current job, and take a fresh challenge - yet I can't seem to follow my own advice! I know that technically I'm good at what I do, but is what the company churns out considered good in the eyes of the wider industry?
Well, I might find out tomorrow. I'm registering with an agency to take the first steps in that big move. Part of me wishes I'd done it 3 years ago, but I've learnt alot in that time, so I have to believe in myself and my ability and take the plunge. Apparently there's an opportunity with a big agency in the same industry as I'm currently working in - and great news it's a little closer to Fenchurch St which would mean I could get home earlier (Yay!). Flip side, it's agency - there is no 9-5. If work needs doing, it gets done, no matter how late you need to stay. At least that's my perception of it. Which begs my biggest question of my professional career. Is it worth making a change that could keep me away from my gorgeous wife and lovely boys more than I am already? In my heart of hearts I know that I would much rather get home to them all, and my current job allows that to a certain extent. My mind is in one big viscous circle.
Anyway, time to give the missus a nudge (bless her, she keeps nodding off on the settee of an evening - great company!!), and take ourselves and number 2 off up to bed. Perhaps when this job lark sorts itself out one way or another, I can find some clarity of mind that will allow me to get down to blogging some real issues, like regional accents, and free newspapers!!! Keep up the good work James, I'm envious of your readership, will have to get my commenter figures up soon ; P
