So it’s goodnight from me…
Today I left one of my three jobs. I know. Three jobs is excessive in anyone’s book - that’s one of the reasons why I decided that it would be more sensible to leave one and ACTUALLY HAVE A LIFE!
Still, leaving has been hard. At UCE I have been part of a really great team who have supported me and helped me grow professionally and personally. I have met and worked with some fabulous people and have enjoyed so much about being there. It’s hard to go but the time is right.
The good news for all you P’Soup regulars is that this means I will undoubtedly be spending more time down the allotment in the hopes of reconciling the twin aims of relaxing and trying to make ends meet.

Yay! Well done mate! I once handed my job in (with the Red Cross at the time) without another to go to - it was by far and away not only the second best decision of my life (marrying the mistress being the first, of course) but it was also a wonderful experience that gave me a narcotic feeling of total control over my life. This feeling has since dwindled to nowt again but its memory burns bright and strong, oh yes
So, how are you planning to celebrate? And what are the other 2 jobs?

Actually, there’s been a lot of job leaving around here - Owen left his job at the end of February and has been working for himself since then. Great feeling - bad bank balance!
I generally don’t like to talk in detail about my work here (if I told you I’d have to kill you…), but I can say that the main money is currently coming in from being a lecturer at Leicester Uni and for my second job I am a self-employed therapist.
Celebrations? Well now - I’ve been out for several meals this week (not a good idea considering the cut in income soon coming…) and we’re going on holiday in a week and a bit. Yeeha!

Aye, our bank balance took a right beating when I left the RC. I work for the local council in EU finding. This is as exciting as it sounds but at least I’m paid well-ish and the hours are mercifully short
Good luck with the therapy, if you know what I mean
