June/July Prospects Article

The Jack Milner circus is unfortunately for some still in town, which means more commotion, conflict and mishap than a gypsy wedding. I have been discussing the merit's of my current source of employment and the positives and negatives in the last couple of blogs, and unfortunately I am still stuck in career limbo. As you may have gathered, I am rather usless when it comes to decision making, which is made even more ironic considering I have no qualms or issue's when it comes to making them for other people - 'do as I say, not as I do etc etc'.

I have made that all important initial step in searching and applying, but have been rather hesitant when it comes to following through. I would like to consider myself somewhat of a loyal person (it is something of a Yorkshire trait), and doing this makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. It gives off a vibe of almost adultery, you have a nice steady wife, very comfortable with, a bit stagnant though, and you are seeking something that is a bit more challenging. So you go out, not necessarily seeking anything in particular, just having a peek, whether or not the grass really is greener on the other side. I must point out that this example was used purely for metaphor examples, and I am in fact neither married, nor an adulterer!

So whether I need to have a couple of drinks and instill some 'Dutch courage' into me, to seal the deal so to speak, or at least venture outside of the Coral bubble. It is rather easy for someone like me, to talk relentlessly about sport, and betting on such events, with pointless facts and irrelevant statistics, I would consider myself as a specialist. However there is somewhat of an empty feeling, where I don't feel that I have contributed to society, rather than a set of shareholders. The fact it is purely in the service area or tertiary industry, there is no end product, or nothing physical you can see at the end of a project, like a builder for example.

As always, we shall wait and see. I hope to have higher spirits and a higher bank balance next time we meet!
