For the NHS in a department that deals with new mothers.

The thing I am looking forward to the most is that its such an excellent route to ride on the motorbike.

Wonder how long I'll last in this job before I freak out and quit?

So is that public sector? It's impossible to get fired from public sector.

Oh, the worst thing about this job is that I have to wear smart clothes. This I haven't done on a daily basis for over 5 years. I think all jobs should be casual attire apart from when a uniform is necessary (police, fire department etc).

Ya, I never get fired - just quit because I'm having a bad day.

I worked for The Home Office in immigration up until Jan this year in which I got so pissed off (plus I was kinda depressed at my mum dying) that I just decided one night that I am quitting and the next day, did so. Before that was self employed but before that, I did the same of just quitting because of a bad day.

Generally what happens is: I start a job, a couple of years goes by in which I try for promotion or try & get my dick into other mash potatoes but then I don't and I look around at everyone else who has been there longer - like 10+ years who are doing the same thing as me. I get scared and run away because I don't want to become that person so I start on the bottom run of the ladder again.

But, its a life I like - not bitching about it (all that much), more commentating on who I am and why I do these things even though they aren't generally good ideas (y)

Indeed - there is always Walmart.

I'm british, so we don't have the work ethic over here, to succeed the american dream or take life for anything other than a cynical waste of time before we die. I have ultimate plans of upsetting my life in a big way, moving away from everyone I know to be with one person that it hurts to be away from right now...

...that is, if I do it (such a decision is at least a year away) - right now, if I got a job with a career or something I think would keep me on this island longer I would be putting off something that I've always wanted to do + I still want to travel more.

Eh, we'll see. But I'm trying not get too pinned down like I have been though most of my 20s.
