The big mama Pajero, Arabian Ranches housewife model. But it doesn't come with the baby spit stains and a gazillion biscuit crumbs.

Definitely leaving now. Agreed on a package...er...salary much better than originally offered. Will report to work on the first working day of May.

So what brought this on?

Long story short - quasiheadhunted for a position at a company in London. One of those anonymous outfits with a corporate office in the city and a bunch of subsidiary companies elsewhere. At first wasn't appealing but the salary was attractive. Series of interviews - position grows more interesting and additional responsibilities are added to it. Negotiated a much higher base salary. Next thing I know - I'm off to London.

It's been three years in the Sandpit for me. I wouldn't mind doing another expat gig someday, preferably in Asia, but it's time to return to reality and get a grip on life, settle down, find a girl and get all that sorted out first.

we should rope everyone in to a Farewell Ethos booze-up! Well, in moderation. It'd be nice to say a "hello-goodbye"...

well, maybe he would if the farewell party was entirely in his honour... and I'm sure we could find a red carpet...

Congratulations, everything happens for a reason :)
