I'm coming to the point where I need to do the same thing. If my time off has taught me anything it's that I wasn't happy where I was and although film is all I still want to do it won't be through that path! I've never valued money (just some of the things you can get with it!) and most of your priorities are what matters from life. I'll let you know what I come up with. $15? A bargain! Hi Maz – glad to see you made it over! I’m coming to the point where I need to do the same thing. If my time off has taught me anything it’s that I wasn’t happy where I was and although film is all I still want to do it won’t be through that path! I’ve never valued money (just some of the things you can get with it!) and most of your priorities are what matters from life. I’ll let you know what I come up with. $15? A bargain!

I had 2 months off sick before I started this job and it was bliss. The only drawback that I didn't really realise at the time was how lonely I was. Having had a job that was turning me into a monster, it was good to have time to get it out of my system though and get my mojo back :) I'm now blissfully ensconced as a college librarian and loving it. I've still got some stuff to work out, but at least the job is great, plus I like where I'm living and love who I'm living with. I got here by drawing a mind map - or rather a series of the - about what was good, bad and ugly in my life and what I wanted. Then I applied to anything and everything that would let me get what I wanted - a nice home, happy family life, time to spend with friends and family,steady income, low stress levels, nice colleagues and a squillion books. Everything else was what other people thought I should be striving for - responsibility, prestige, big salary etc... I myself don't give a toss about any of that, so now I'm happy :) Sorry for the essay. Love you long time $15. Maz I know how you feel about being off work.
