Should I stay or should I go?
I’ve been working in London for nearly 6 weeks now. I’m not going to lie, I’m tired. And for the last week I’ve been dreaming of getting back home to the Chamonix valley But having said that I’m also enjoying it. It’s hard work at times, but I’ve been doing some good development and have rediscovered a bit of passion (or at the very least enthusiasm) for what I do for a living.
Equally as important is that after working for a while the wolf has been banished from the door along with his cousin the black dog. I’ve dragged my life back onto the rails, and although I need to keep my head down and carry on for a while longer, it’s now more of a case of not screwing things up while I build things up again for a while.
So I was just starting to relax and start thinking about getting on that flight back to Geneva, when the opportunity came up to stay for another month in this job. Tempted as I was by earning a little more money to allow me to enjoy the winter without having to break my neck finding work, I wanted to go back to the mountains. But there are few plans I’ve set in motion at work that I’d like to see through…… But living in Brighton and commuting by train? I can’t do that for another month, it’s too tiring. Perhaps I could find a room in London for a while? What about the stuff I need to do in Cham in November? Can I do them form here perhaps?
Then suddenly a mate of mine from a previous company got in touch offering a room at his place in Surrey Quays for Nov/Dec. I could leave Brighton in a week or two, start living in London & cut the commuting time, move my flight back a month and take care of the cham business from here. It all clicked into place.
Should I stay or should I go?
I’m staying.
