Dreaming of escaping the rat race
Lately work has been kicking my ass. I don’t know if it’s my annoying male colleagues who have more strops than a pregnant diva; or the mundane work; or it could be just travelling to the middle of nowhere every day. But it’s getting pretty soul destroying.
To be honest I have just had enough. The thing is it’s a difficult decision to quit your job… you see this job is very well paid. And I mean extremely well paid! Plus there are tons of benefits. To complicate things I have shares in this company. The catch is however that these are retractable shares. If I leave before 2 years then I lose all the shares. Also the company division profit directly affects my ability to ‘earn out’ on these shares. It was all part of the deal when our parent company bought us nearly 1 year ago. (I was a 25% shareholder)
As it is, I am stuck in all honesty. I have to give 6 months notice if I wish to leave the company, as do they. I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons but honestly, unless I substantially increase my online income it’s just not realistic. I know I can do it, after all I have done it before, but this was with adult affiliate programs. However I gave this up for various reasons.
Still I can’t help but dream….
It’s going to happen sooner or later.. it’s just when. I guess this young jedi needs patience! Good things come to those that wait, or so they say. Till then I will continue with not having a live outside of work because of the hours and this dreadful weather in middle England!
Anyway, I will continue building my websites and prepare for the day when I can buy a bachelor pad by the beach….
