It had me thinking of times in the past when I should have probably quit (whether that was a job or relationship or some other endeavour). I hope to remember key points when I come to quit my job next year\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Work has been pretty relentless and my brain is really tired and in need of a break. My boss is on annual leave but I do have a week booked off at the end of August. I can\u2019t wait. I have a couple of things planned but mostly, it will be blissful nothing.<\/p>\n<p>One good thing that has been introduced by work is Craft Club night. A room is booked out for people to spend a few hours doing whatever \u2018crafting\u2019 they want. Snacks and soft drinks are provided.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s surprisingly popular and as you can imagine, it\u2019s mostly women attending, mostly young in their mid-20s. People are doing various hobby-type activities including colouring, painting, bead art, crocheting, cross-stitching. Me, I\u2019m doing a complicated paint by numbers and I may share the finished piece if it looks ok (at the moment, it doesn\u2019t haha!)<\/p>\n<p>When I go to the office, things are so busy with me juggling with the volume of the work and trying to be sociable. The quiet time in the craft club room has been great to rest my brain and also to get the chance to get to know people I don\u2019t normally interact with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read my first non-fiction book this year!
