The letter is signed, the job is done...

Yesterday, I said:

Off to see the lawyers tomorrow morning, hopefully be able to talk about it openly tomorrow evening.

And now I can. This morning, I went to see a local employment lawyer, and checked over the leaving documents. Terms of which are confidential, but I'm happy. I officially finish December 31st, but as the company shuts down for Xmas week, my last working day will be Friday 22nd. After that?

London. 95% certain on that one. I've been applying for a few jobs, but nothing concrete yet. I'll be ok financially for a month or so after getting up there, especially if I live really cheaply, so I'll be up to look for a place to stay &c a bit after Xmas/early new year, as well as obviously trying to get a job. I've unlocked my previous post from August, and I need to really put some effort in to actually making a go of this one.  The jobs market in Devon is pretty flat for mid+ management/analysis roles, even office admin roles are limited, so I'm pretty sure I'm making the right choice.

Probably the second biggest decision of my life, and almost certainly the riskiest, but hey, got to gamble a bit if you want to make it big, right?  There are a few jobs I'm after, and a few more that look interesting, beyond that?  Well, I have a new tag.  Let's see how things go, right?

Wish me luck. I think I might need it...

Oh yeah; if anyone knows of something that I'd be good at, gimme a shout?

Details would be of interest, yes. Especially number of bedrooms, as it sounds both too cheap and too expensive for the location.

Hmm, actually looking at details, it's a room in a flat, not a flat. However it's £125 for the room and the ad also mentions a second, smaller room (£110pw).

It seems as if the large room has two double beds in it, two desks, etc etc. However, if there is also a small room available it seems rather good (though how many people total there are might be an issue)

Hmm, yeah, wouldn't want to share a bedroom regardless, and 110 is a bit more than I've seen elsewhere. There are some good places on gumtree I'm looking at, probably go with that.

But thx anyway, any leads good, even if they're not good leads.
