After 11yrs in the car industry I`m out. The plug got pulled on the yard I was managing as one of the two directors wanted out of our three yards we have, and as the lease was up with our premises it was us to lose. So that`s it, I enjoyed the money, I enjoyed the friendships I`ve made, but I`m sick of the hours which consist of weekend work and a day off during the week. Sold my gas-guzzling 4x4, bought a car for my wife to use, finished up all my bits and pieces, packed my bags and flew to Japan to meet up with my wife and 8mth daughter, whom I hadn`t seen for two months.
I`ve turned down job offers in the industry since, as they can`t offer what I want, ie my weekends. So I`m not sure what the future holds, other than some well deserved time off when we get back. Do some rides away (may even make it up to the Nth Island), spend some time with my family etc. We might even move to Japan next year for a year or two, just kicking ideas around at the moment.
All I am sure of is the fact I`m enjoying the feeling of nothing, no work, no deadlines, no pressures. Don`t get me wrong, I love working, and I thrive under presure, but sometimes you need to step back and let it all go past. Now is that time, and I`m loving it.
To those who knew of my situation, thankyou very much for the concern and offers of help, it was and is greatly appreciated.
