The news on taking my job with me is basically no. Due to jurisdiction issues in the type of company I work for, it’s not doable. I can get a job with a different branch of the same company, I just can’t work this job from that location.
This changes the game. Plan A was taking my job with me; Plan B was doing it for a month or so from over there, then going my own way; Plan C was leaving with no job to go to.
Plans A & B are no longer options. Plan C doesn’t appeal to be honest. So Plan D is to take a few days, get a decent flight price and go over to see my friend. Then come back here and stick to my original timeline of November/December. If I can’t take my job with me, then I need to have the finances to support myself while I’m there. That means a few extra months here to clear up my loan from Bank of Dad so I can leave with everything paid up in full and completely debt free.
Plan D feels right. Plan C gives me palpitations so time to update some things on my spreadsheet and roll with it.
Thankfully my boss has offered to work around any time off I need to go to London, so that is immensely helpful and I’m grateful. The conversations we’ve had have been around a mutually beneficial solution and it’s amazing what compromises can be reached when you’re both considering what’s best for the other party. It opens up solutions that weren’t visible from a ME ME perspective. Funny how that works…
In the meantime, I’m feasting my eyes on some photography pages on Facebook that focus on Scotland. If I can’t go to my mountains, I’ll let them bring me pictures of my mountains instead.
The Highland Games are in Itasca, IL on June 17 & 18 so I will defo be heading there for a day to snap some pics and feast my eyes and ears on all things Scottish!
