Data Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've been told verbally today that I am to be offered a new job. Its more interesting than the one I've got at the moment, and far more relevant to my PhD (which I was awarded earlier this year). Its also within commuting distance of my wife/children, which means I no longer have to live away from them during the week. Its less money, but by the time you take into account the rent on my 2nd home that I won't have to pay, then we will be better off. I'll be able to live with my wife full-time again and be able to use the qualifications I've worked hard to achieve. Its difficult at the moment because its not been confirmed in writing. So I can't say anything at work. And the new job is confidential (not MI5 or anything!) just i am working on something that is commercially sensitive. This weekend I am celebrating with some booze and decent food. I am hoping I will have started there by December. Next year, with a new job and a new lifestyle, I am going to start working on my obesity and binge drinking again. I can't wait to see my 9 year old son tomorrow, he will be so happy!
