Life Sucks?

Prepare yourself for some self-indulgent rambling. I'm not prone to depression, navel-gazing or generally feeling sorry for myself, but recently it seems that's all I've been able to do.

It's easy to pinpoint the source of this - work - but somewhat less easy to do something about it. I should be grateful - I've a well-paid steady job, which is more than many people have. But the thought of staying in this job for a year, let alone for the next 30+ years till retirement, is abhorrent.

So get a new job, you say. Like, DUH! Unfortunately, the Education sector hasn't been throwing up a lot of opportunities. Nor has there been much chance of changing my role in the company. And actually, I'm not sure I want to stay in the sort of roles I've had until now. I'm left with the prospect of retraining. To do what, I don't yet know. But something's gotta give...

And anyway, I've a great partner, a nice home, good friends and I'm finally out of debt. Life doesn't suck. It just seems like it sometimes!
