Very similar to Nige Tassell, but 20 years old now and in a world where you can't relay on the internet for all your information. So you have to wait for buses not knowing if they will come, etc. Quite sweet, full of quirky stories and a nice easy comfort read. I'm struggling at work at the moment, both with my own motivation and the changing world - AI and internal organisational changes. I feel like I have been taken out of a comfy familiar town where I knew all the back streets and short cuts and dumped into a new city which is completely unfamiliar to me. I'm doubting my own value to the company and also aware that I don't want to learn new things. I'm only 51, but it's like my heart is set on leaving and doing something completely different now the mortgage is paid off and we are relatively financially secure. Every day I watch my pension and ISA going up and the motivation to work isn't there when I could be doing something I love like working in a school. Of course the grass is always greener, and it would mean an 80% drop in salary. So for now I'm sticking it out, but some days I just don't want to be at work.
