Feeling kind of mixed about it.
Been doing this job only 19months, its been hardcore over to Copenhagen a lot, away from home in the evenings. New job is closer to home, more money and chance to run my own vehicle.
Feel a bit sad leaving at a busy time but I have to look out for myself.
Going to get the chainsaw out shortly to take it out on a tree stump
Now, I need to find a fast diesel estate!!!

Lumberjack....
Good luck for the future, Jon; you just have to do your best to provide for your family, but at the same time being in a job you hate will suck the life out of you eventually....

Does 19 months even class as a Noob? If you where born into the company you'd still no be walking yet.
Ive been with the same company since I was 19, Im 36 now. Id take the first job that paid better or had better benefits, always threaten it, always pays off.
We are all just numbers after all and they'd screw us over of they thought they'd make a few $$$$ extra.

Work in IT, server and network support etc.
Good team I am leaving but onwards and upwards. Should have more control of what I am doing in my new job. Looking forward to it.
Plus I was doing a 3 hour round trip to the office, balls to that long term.

I used to fell trees with my own chainsaw when I was a sweet 16, working in the woods and driving tractors. Never was a girly girl LOL
Bloody Multiple Schlerosis put paid to my Tom boy ways though. I cried when I could no longer lift an 8 foot table and realised I was now stuck with the girly work. Got peeved trying to waddle around the scrap yard today and had to quit half way through, mail order parts from the inter web is the way to go me thinks.

Yep we'll be there. Robin was gutted last year as he had only been out of hospital on the Saturday after major surgery so no way could we make it. All being good this year we'll be there. Can't wait
