I have no clue where to put this. warning: me me me self-indulgent rant. I don't even know if I should bother posting about it.

The last few weeks have been a complete blaaaaahhhh in my stupid head. When this happens I kinda go into flight mode and want to get the hell out of wherever I am.

So I got the idea recently I wanted to go back to the UK (from NZ) ... I lived there for a while. Hate the weather, love earning the currency, love that it's close to Europe.

Anyway through a certain means I have basically been given the opportunity to do so - e.g. I could write my resignation, work another month, get paid out for holiday leave (which I never have time to take anyway), and book a ticket ASAP.

I thought this was a great idea a few days ago, I really did. However I do work for a wicked company and I feel like I've spent a lot of time building up my career here - and I don't know if I am ready to throw that away now I am a bit more rational. We do have branches over there, but they are all quantitative / retail based (diff side of the business).

On the other hand, being able to just GO ... is so tempting ... there's nothing wrong with my life HERE, it's just that I always think being somewhere new you are distracted and LESS likely to get blahh...

I don't know if I am just trying to run away or if I should just go anyway, I can always come home if it doesn't work and I have a lot of friends / relatives there anyway.

I suppose I am looking for more objective points of view than my own. I can't talk to workmates obviously, and I DON'T want to run my reasons for wanting to go past friends (for obvious reasons).
