The first time my boss brings me a present back will indeed be the first and
a breathing pretend cat would not be cheap.  If I lived nearer I would be
offering to take over your vacancy.  Are you sure you want to leave this
job?


Yes...the sad thing is I don;t want to leave him because he's very
nice but there are some other people there that I will be glad to see
the back of! He'll be retiring in the next few years so I have to
think if I stay then he goes I'll be a few more years older and
frankly I am still in shock that I managed to completely change
careers at 45 and that even at 50 I can go out and interview and be
offered other jobs. Also this new job sounds a bit more interesting as
they have someone who does most of the audio typing, which I dislike
(and frankly I am not that good at it- I mean I would probably look
impressive to someone who doesn't type for a living but I am the
World's fastest 3 finger typist being self taught and not one of these
typing whizz kids who uses all their fingers- my boss Bev who is an ex-
medical secretary can type 95+ words per minute- I'm an accurate 45-50
maybe 65 but then I start making mistakes) so I'll only do a little
light typing (The other typist does 3 mornings a week so if something
urgent comes up when he's not there that sort of thing) and much more
organisational work and proper PA work like diary management

Also I have gotten sick of standing on the tube for 35 minutes each
way (okay half the time I get a seat) and the delays and the strikes
and being crushed in like a sardine so you arrive at the office
already tired out and p***ed off and badly in need of a shower in warm
weather even through I have one when I get up and spending 24.20 a
week for the "privilege". The new job is 20-25 minutes on the bus,
there are 3 routes from the top of the road so I'll be pretty much
guaranteed a seat (even if I have to wait for the one that starts just
round the corner but I have been studying them in the rush hour since
I got the job and none of them get that packed), one route goes
through Victoria Park so you even get a nice view. And for this I pay
9.00 a week so I save almost 61.00 a month, which in these times of
rising prices is always a help I mean that's the Hills S/D for the
month, quite a few pouchies of wet, a couple of mousies for Sarsi to
play with and a few bags of cat litter (Note how I have my priorities
right...) and probably still some change for ...more mousies for Sarsi
to play with! And a new feather onna stick every month!

It's also about getting my life back in some kind of order so that the
department at work is covered I have to be in at 8.30 where I am now-
this means getting up at 6.45 so I am out for 7.30 so even if the
tubes are bad I am still on time then I like a quick one after work
sometimes so I might not get back until 7.30 and by then I am tired
out especially if it's hot so I have to go to bed early it means we
don't see to much of each other in the week. On the new job even if
they wanted me in for 8.30, I would have an extra half hour in bed,
get home earlier and be able to stay up a bit later which is more time
to skritchie the cats and less importantly talk to Dave

So yes I am glad to have the new job I am just wishing I could
persuade Davy G to come with me!
