I asked to be considered for Voluntary Redundancy from my all consuming day role, and today it was approved. I have worked for the company for 12 years and, given the knowledge that I am easily replaceable, it made the decision much easier for me.
I have to work the 12 - 14 weeks, and have leave, new skills to learn, 4 more teaching sessions to do, a long line of letters to write and contracts to complete... it seems almost like there will be no time. I have 26 days leave banked, 3.5 months time in lieu and this years leave still outstanding! Not gonna fit that lot in! Extra lovely input for me was to be asked to do some consultancy work, by one of two of the companies I engage with (couldn't say no, it is an opportunity to keep me in the loop of my main skill and expertise, a lovely surprise and bonus too).
so, onward and upward - going to do some training on managing my own business! lol Should be fun!
Opportunities knock - I have been able to take on a couple of extra commissions and sold on Etsy. I can feel the madness coming along quite nicely! lol
