Fair enough. Just think itās mental to do it in the middle of a global pandemic or without ever really giving it a chance.
To be fair to him my place is a bit odd. But once you get into the swing of it, it isnāt too bad at all.
I left my previous employment with nothing lined up. Iād done two years and just couldnāt face another day. Just said Iām not doing this anymore. One of the greatest reliefs of my life. Took a pay cut afterwords but Iāve never regretted it for a second. Nothing worse than hating work.

Got a job as a recruiter over in Boston. I thought the job involved having a list of companies and matching candidates to their requirements.
In fact, I spent the morning cold calling companies about a āgreat candidate we hadā. These were companies that had told us to fuck off on numourous occasions.
At the start of the morning, everyone was giving a vitamin c pill. This I was told was to ensure no one missed work. I knew even then, this place was not for me.
They were adamant that I go for lunch with a member of the team. This stressed me as I would rather cut my wrists than spend an afternoon in this place.
I had a rollo pencil case that I brought with me. My goal was two fold. Find an excuse to avoid lunch and dont leave my rollo pencil case behind.
I told them I had arranged to meet a female friend for lunch but that ā we would do it tomorrowā.
I could not wait for lunch time. My relief was palpable.
The bossman called me after falling to turn up post lunch. I told him that it was not for me but thanks for the opportunity. He spent a good 10 mins berating me and how he took a chance on me.
At the interview, he told me that he was Irish too as in 50 percent Irish.
If there was a couple of hotties in the office, I might have stuck it out a little longer.

Expectations werenāt high if you had to bring your own biro.
But perhaps you keep a rubber in there as well.
I sat intercert, leaving cert and college exams with my trusted rolo pencil case. It was my lucky charm.
