and you never know, it may not end up being AS stressful as you make it out to be.

Except if you have a mob of dickheads working under you.

Put it this way. One of my roles is to turn bad employees into good employees. I have had some success in my last job, even to the point of turning one guy from getting a written warning to being responsible and confident enough to now doing my former role. It will be a challenge, but who doesn't like a good challenge.

I'd be a bit reluctant to move out of a comfort zone too I suppose. If it aint broke, don't fix it, right? ;)

Might be getting too comfortable. Have been looking at ways I can make a sleeping compartment ala George Costanza.

Once you've been your own boss you'll never settle working for someone else.

I'm not my own boss, but I might as well be. My boss is interstate and doesn't care what I do, as long as he work gets done.

Resignation sent. The offer is too good to refuse.

How do you feel now? like you've done the right thing? or did you have 2nd thoughts afterwards?

Mate of mine is currently holidaying on the Gold Coast and has asked if I could ask for him on here, whether anyone knows of any pubs/clubs up there that show live AFL matches. He's pretty keen to watch Port v Richmond, but reckons all the places hes checked thus far are all (understandably) Rugby-centric. Any suggestions?
