Tired.
I need to take some time off I think, I'm not sure I have taken any holiday at all this year which on one had is a good thing (because I can take 25 days over six months now) but on the other hand has left me tired and a bit grumpy. I want to take the first week in July off as holiday (to build a patio and have barbecues)
I'm starting to get fed up with driving so many miles all the time, this week I put the 70,000th mile on the car and it's not even 2 years old yet. There are things I can do about the situation though:
- Move up north - I'm half tempted because it would solve the problem of traveling and we would be able to afford to buy a house on my wage alone. The problem is that we're settled here and it's home, also I can't see me working for the same company for ever so we would probably have to move again.
- Get another job - It would be nice to work somewhere close to home, Ideally about 10 miles away so I could start cycling again. Problem is that I have worked my way up to a "good job" and although I have the experience, I don't have the paper qualifications that make me easily transferable. I also have some benefits that I don't want to give up...
- Get on with it - It's hardly the end of the world having to drive a few hours each day and it's a bit of time to myself.
- Work locally - If I hold for about 6 months there should be big projects within an hour of here, I could work in those if I'm lucky
Option 4 is favourite, until then it'll be option 3!
