I remember messaging you towards the end of 2022 MJ and you were pretty full on…I didn’t know you had Covid thrown in for good measure as well

Job satisfaction is an underrated thing these days. Most of us have been guilty of just chasing the £££’s whilst being unsatisfied or miserable. If you’re lucky enough to have both even better. I definitely enjoy my career change compared to before, although to some it seems like a backwards step, but I’m happy so I don’t care

The trade off is now I have far less free time

Glad you are on the mend MJ.

The whole Covid issue has impacted on many people either directly or indirectly and in my case has given serious pause for thought about whether shooting around the highways and byways of the UK is really what I want to be doing anymore. MJ and Ricky D hit on the job satisfaction element, which I feel I no longer have in the role I am in. With work and 'random stuff' there does not appear to be enough hours in the day for me.

If I didn't take the S8 out with me on 'work tours' I don't think it would get used as much. Have a couple small things to fix (xmas tree DIS and annoying air bag issue) and not even found the time to get around to either. Its MOT soon so I need to find some time (and good weather) to get the airbag issue done as I fear if I don't the car will just become another drive ornament and another 'thing i need get around to addressing'.
