Cold Feet?????????????
HI Guys/Girls
I just have to get it off my chest. I have just resigned today 18.5 years working for BT and O2, it's all I have really known in my working life. There is a feeling of relief but mainly numbness. The question is will I be to institutionalised working for a large Blue chip company and not be able to change ? maybe we will see. The enormity of it is right in my face , nice house sold , stability gone , flights paid for movers booked.Oh Shit as the programme Say's No Going Back.

Re: Cold Feet?????????????
don't worry about a thing, i was working as a senior manager for the biggest pharma company in the world, everyone thought i was crazy when i handed in my notice, spent so long getting a plum job with the company and then threw it all away..... i have never looked back... was the best decision ever... came here with no work, no where to live, no bank, no schools, nothing, 6 suite cases and the family. Never been happier, now have goodish jobs, great lifestyle, time to enjoy the family, friendly people, lots of friends etc
be positive and never say to a kiwi 'this or that was better in the uk' and you will be fine, embrace the lifestyle, the culture, the community and enjoy
get used to being called a pom, everyone taking the mickey out of the england cricket team and the rugby, tell them that the all blacks are the greatest team you have ever seen and life will be sweeeeet as
good luck and go for it

oh dont worry, everyone knows i am very proud to be english, huge picture of england winning the world cup on my office wall at work along with the england cricket team winning the ashes what i was saying was i just humour most of the guys at work by saying that the all blacks are the greatest team ever (which at the moment they are) and then show them the picture to remind them that the world cup is made of gold!!!!!!
