...The Resignation. Ok, I do feel a bit weird now, especially because at this point, I have zero income after 15th October.
Shit.
So, today (Sunday) is all about preparation, preparation, preparation. And how do I feel?
Scared, excited, liberated and most importantly - BRILLIANT!
Bring it ooonnnnn!
I thank you.

Oh my God, I actually did it!
My mother's going to kill me.
Yesterday, I resigned from a perfectly respectable job with lots of prospects to go and do my own thing. I'm, now trying to work out out whether I'm incredibly brave or stupid.
So.. here comes the justification bit! I am female after all.
- I had learned a lot, but had stopped learning anything a year ago.
-The job has become mostly admin.
-They pay me like a teenager on a Saturday job.
-I can't afford to come back to this job after I have kids anyway (which hopefully will be soon), so the long term 'carrot' of prospects is pointless.
I can't argue with that, can I? Plus, if I'm totally honest with myself, I am just not a 9-5, officey person. I've been feeling like a bit of a fraud. I don't want to negotiate, actually. I don't want to make tough stock decisions, actually. I've been struggling for years with the thought we must give up 5 precious days of our 7 day week to earn a crust. If this has to be the way, we simply, have to love our jobs. There is no other way, or what's the point?
I am a romantic and probably too hedonistic for my own good because I still believe that you can create your perfect career - and that's what I have finally decided to do. I am going to take my favourite bits out life and stick them together to see if I can make a living,
It's going to be tough and I'm going to be very poor for a while, but hey. Something tells me it's going to work.
Watch this space, London. The world is ready for Winebird!
