slycat | Time to re-evaluate my priorities (Reply)

I've only just got home at 8.40pm. Normally, I get home at 7.30. The reason for my late arrival? Yes, again, the trains were totally fucked. This has been a significant kick into reality for me asoto what I really want from a job, and that is one which is not in London. I hate the city and I hate the transport. I want to work (at least at first) somewhere much closer to home, where my journey to work is under an hour each way. A chicken and the egg scenario is born where to achieve my goal and work locally, I need to learn to drive and get a car but to afford the lessons and a car, I need to work off my debts or work locally.

Anyway, as a result of today's transport problems, I've decided to send an email to the guy who was trying to get me a job in London to let him know that I will not be looking for work in London. I will only continue to be depressed if I stay working there. There's been a few new jobs that have been opening up including a junior web developer position in Southampton which would be perfect for me (but wait, I bet I don't even get a rejection letter) so fingers crossed something goes my way sooner rather than later. I wish I could go back to uni and re-educate but I have the ball and chain of my debts to deal with first. They are the result of my own mistakes and immaturity where money is involved of course but I wont have my credit card consolidation loan paid off until April 2005. At which time, I'll be 24...
