End of Another Era

Today was the last day at JPMorgan. I still think it is a brill place to work. Unfortunately I went through more managers in the 5 1/2 years than in my 17 years at Frizzells ! Maybe it is my influence that made one go to South Africa, another go to New Zealand, another have a nervous breakdown and so on and so on.

I have left a lot of good friends and colleagues there and feel very sad at the moment and scared in case I have made a very bad decision.

But I was getting stale in the work I was doing, especially as I was up against people who didn't seem to want the project to succeed. Paranoia setting in probably.

So 2 weeks holiday in sunny Spain and then heads down looking for my first contract again. No looking back. No regrets. Life is too short.

Anne's Mum ( piano teacher ) once said to her - "Life does not come up the garden path looking for you - you have to go out and get it".
