Last night was interesting to say the least. Me and the Princess were sitting out on the deck having a chat when she pipes up
"Maybe you should take 2 weeks off, go to the UK and stay with Peter. Then you can look around and see if there is a job going you would want to do. If you come right, maybe you could work there for a while till we get back on our feet!"
Now the thought had crossed my mind several times in the past few weeks, but to hear it from her was a bit of a shocker. Seems that she is quite aware of how tough things have been getting, and is as worried as I am of the state of finances!
So I'm in two minds right now. If I leave this job and go, my prospects for employment in South Africa in future are slim at best. Staying in my present job does no longer pay the bills, but it's a job. Some form of security, etc!
If I leave to work in the UK, it may be for an extended period of time, and that can't be healthy for our family (being away that is)! So, right now my options are fucked up, as is my state of mind. I'm not into thinking this through anyway, as there are a mountain of other issues taking up my limited thought processing power right now. What I do know is that I have had enough.

Had enough? Sounds familiar...
The UK sounds like a goo doption though. I know a bar at a club in Scotland where you might be able to get some graft...LOL...
That bar in scotland pays wages with delayed cheques......

We only pay the full timers by Cheque...us mere mortals get cash in hand just don't tell the tax man!
For what it's worth I'd take the break ... maybe you need a bit of time out for a while. There must be a way you can get out of work for a few weeks without giving up the job. Here we'd bang in a sick line and be done with it! Take the break and look at the options...you've got nothing to lose!
