The Speed of Life

Weeeell.....this year is certainly getting away from me!

Moving to part time work 2 days a week from Dec 17th 2013 has had a dramatic effect on life in general, but especially on just how fast the weeks fly by. I really didn't expect the massive change in my perception of time. When I was full time, my whole life seemed to be revolving around my job and that made me quiet unhappy I think in hindsight, because I really don't enjoy my job. But now those 2 days at work seem to be so much easier than before and work has become the distraction from my life instead of the opposite. With so much to do at home, work is really an inconvenience that's rather annoying. I guess this really means that I should look for some-other kind of work that perhaps is more appealing to me, but that's harder than you think. When you get into your forties and find that your current profession is unpalatable for one reason or another, it's difficult to make any major changes. You start to find that you are about 15 years older than most other people making major job changes and that you could begin to be the older person in most interviews. The interviewers will inevitably ask you why you are changing jobs at your age, especially if you're changing professions. This leads me at least to doubt myself and wonder why indeed would you hire me and not some much younger go-getter! Maybe I'm just worn out but I really wouldn't want to go through that again. With three days at home, I could possibly find something other than fixing caravans that would pay better.....we shall have to see.

Anyways

Slippery out!
