Well that was a while coming.
I have been consulting in Dublin for a mainland European company, the project planning was a disaster for our head office and we have an awful client.

So when our owner shouts in my face and swore at me about some poor information that I had innocently passed on it was time to call it a day. (Information supplied to me by someone on my team!)
Yes I could have checked but we were under so much pressure there was never time.

I may sound precious but I dont swear and shout in peoples faces, why would I accept someone doing it to me?

To be honest it is a weight off my shoulders. Glad to be going home, about to pack my bags and get on the ferry.

The role was well paid but it was effecting my mental health. There really is more to life. I have just turned 50 and have other projects lined up but I think I will just take a couple of weeks off and spend it with my family.

Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and not getting up at 4am every Monday and the hell that is Leeds Bradford airport security.

So to anyone else thinking about it, just do it.

Thanks to everyone. I feel so so much better for walking.
I’m a bricklayer by trade and am going to develop houses. I already have 5 plots and can start pretty much immediately.
I have picked the worst possible time just entering a recession but I’ll give it my best.

What could possibly go wrong???

Thanks again for all the great comments.
Walked in to the house. Wife gave me a big cuddle and my little dog wet it’s self with excitement.
I’m 100% certain I have done the right thing.

Sat here having a wine on a Sunday night without worrying about my alarm going off at 04:00.
In fact Alarm cancelled for a week. On the 23rd treating myself and my wife to a week in Spain.
Going to be at Leeds Bradford at the same time as my usual flight and will see a former colleague but I’ll be in a much happier place than him.
