Time for a change?

After several weeks of sole searching and trying to find the best out of a not great situation at work I have decided to dust off my CV and start the process of assessing my opportunites.  I have now updated it and slapped on Monster.  I want to start slow as currently this is just an exercise in monitoring what possibilites I have.   I personally believe that I have a lot of skills to offer in many different areas and I think lastminute.com is holding me back.   In fact I truly believe my obsession which proving the racing would work was a kind of disguise.  A mechanism to hide from the fact I don’t get that magical buss from my work anymore.

Yes I love the people still but that is just not enough.    When you have to work with such restrictions that make your life so difficult.  Anyway enough on that subject for now lets just see what turns up.   This may sound like a bit of about turn and maybe you are thinking well he has realised he can’t make the racing work so he is sticking with what he knows best.   I disagree I have just remembered that the buzz I can get from racing is the same buzz I used get from my main job.

On the same token this does not mean I am giving the racing up for now.  In fact I purchased flat stats yesterday so I can start monitoring this.   In addition I had 2 winners today for a nice profit which was good for me.  Although I do a have big credit/cash flow situation currently.  Namely I have a big postive balance on my credit card but very little cash in my betfair account.  I might have to find some time on Monday to do a bit of cash converting.  Would be useful for my betfair commission points as well as I have slipped in 4.5% zone because of the lack of lays I have been doing recently.

Amazing what happens when you have 2 good nights sleep :)
