The new job

Just didn’t suit me

For the first time in my life I have walked away from a job, the expectations that I had were far too optimistic and I knew by this morning that my time there would be desperately unhappy and non productive. Could I really see myself sat on my backside eight hours a day talking to faceless people through a headset who don’t know an ethernet socket from a firewire port?

No, I need the face to face contact, full human interaction, some mobility and physical activity. It wasn’t a tough decision to take, I’d pondered on it  for the past 24 hours and I know I’ve done the right thing. There are others there who are around my age, but they seem to have call centre experience and are attuned to that environment, there are many younger folk there too, some of whom I’ve know in past employment, I wish them luck when their world shrinks down to the size of their desktops!

So it’s back to being a young pensioner again for now.
