You're a deadset champion for still having this attitude despite your own issues. Kudos to you!

Either way I look at it there's always a positive outlook on it.

I'm a really positive person and always find I land on my feet no matter what happens so I'm not really too concerned to be honest.

Like you said though heaps of scenarios.

I could travel for a little bit to places that I want to go to.

I can be completely debt free and not worry about anything and still live comfortably without a job for a while.

I could save all the redundancy and just take any job in the meantime until I find out exactly what I want to do.

I could take it to the casino and put it all on Black.

I could go to uni and study and come out of this better in a few years.

Plenty of options, not all of them good but positives to everything.

Honeysett wrote:@mearcats appreciate that mate. Without sounding like a cockhead, because of my transferable skills I won't ever struggle to find someone to take me on. I've already had a number of enquiries about my services already which make me very comfortable that I can just wait it out. I'm not going to struggle so I'm not concerned about me. It may have come at a great time, I can start a new role with a new company while my girlfriend does her thing in America and time will fly by. Life has been good to me so there's no need to stress, I'll land on my feet because I'll make myself land on my feet.

@SI the hand modelling days are over. With a girlfriend now I don't umm use as much moisturiser as previously and they're just not AS pretty.

Not only will the time fly by but it will give you a chance to settle into the role, show your work ethic etc. Nothing about it makes you sound like a cockhead mate. Before heading OS I managed quite a few companies and some pretty large ones at that. Eventually moved from hands on day to day operations into the HR side of managing people. I found it rewarding as hell. Especially in the hiring process. Nothing quite like being able to sit with someone for 30-60 minutes in an interview an get a good gauge of how they'll fit into a team etc. Then working with them in that environment.

I get really invested in my staff. Well, people in general to be honest, but especially my staff. I often see their failings (in a workplace) as my own and that challenges me to help them improve. To find out what makes em tick and what I need to do to get the best out of them. It's kinda like fantasy. You take a gamble on someone, some start out well and others don't. IT's hard letting some go and others it's your own fault for misinterpreting them in the first place so the decision is easy and the blame is your own.

Honeysett wrote:So my flight to Bali for a mates wedding is at 8pm WST June 6th. That means that Origin will need to start at 6:15 at the latest for me to see the whole game before the plane takes off. I'm praying for a delay of like half an hour.

For someone who flies over to majority of Origin games a year this is very difficult for me to handle. I've already told the girl that expect to either jump on board and watch the games or just be ignored for a couple of hours. She's fine with it now until she realises I'm not joking haha.

How do you get out of this and move forward?

Honestly mate you just gotta get started. Even if you don't know which direction to go in, just pick one and see what happens.
Don't wait for life to happen to you.

Doesn't have to be a huge drastic change but just pick something that scares you and go do it.

I moved to Melbourne on a whim after going to Uk/Europe for six weeks on a whim 5 years ago and I've never looked back.
