I don't think I mentioned this in a previous post, but I took voluntary redundancy from my job about 5 weeks ago. At the time, it seemed like the right thing to do and I thought I'd pretty soon be moving into a new role. However, although I've had some interest and a couple of offers there's been nothing that I've really wanted. I made the decision because I couldn't face commuting to Birmingham and back every day and with everything else that was going on in my life I thought it the best thing for my sanity.
The problem now is that the days just draaaag. I'm actively looking for a new role and getting calls from agencies but it's still hard. And obviously I can't go out spending money left right and centre because I don't know when I'm going to be working again.
I've tried to be pro-active, going out for runs, walking to town and back etc. but some days are just hard. Today is one of those days. Very low today. I think I mentioned in a post a long time ago that I wished life were like the movies sometimes. Well it's not. It's so fcukin' not.
And I'm gonna stop there because getting upset while typing a blog is so lame...

Hi Simon,
I'm sure the right job will come along at the right time, even if you just see it as a stepping-stone or an opportunity to learn some new skills, and it will really lift you up. But I can imagine the bit between now and then being hard ...
For the benefit of anyone who's only ever heard Simon say what a good programmer Simon is, then take it from someone who has worked at the same place - he really, really is good, churning out quality code with speed, intuition and enjoyment. I wish I could do that!
All the best,
SueH
