Two weeks on

I have shed the baggage from 15 years in the wind industry like a snake shedding skin.

Each shedding leaves less trace of what has come before, and what was once important, is no longer.

I do not miss the work or the company. I do miss my colleagues.

I downloaded Teams so we could call, but calling is not possible, so we swap messages. And we have also facetimed.

I have realised that what is still important to my former colleagues is more of the same old, same old story.

And I have no time to listen to it now.

It made me realise that leaving was the right thing to do, as what irked me these last four years still has not been improved.

They carry on fighting the good fight.

I surrendered, and sheathed my sword of truth and justice.

And it feels good.

My work life balance is now perfect.
