Not shaken but definitely stirred

There’s a lot of upheaval at the moment at work and with my friends, too. I’m not sure quite what has triggered it generally (it’s almost certainly coincidental), but lots of people that I know are making changes in their lives; significant changes that seem pretty bold. Yet they are all without exception absolutely sure it’s the right thing to be doing.

I have friends who are not just switching jobs, they’re switching careers. Some are moving to different parts of England, some are moving to other countries entirely. Some are getting married, some are are breaking up. And they’re all so, so confident that this will help them a little way down that yellow brick road to happiness.

I have to admit, I’m quite envious of this ‘shake it up and let’s see what happens’, ‘que sera, sera’ mentality that seems to be gripping those around me. I’m getting itchy feet again, and the time to shake things up is approaching.

Only problem is...

...I don’t know what I want the end result of my shaking to be.

It will certainly mean a change of job. Possibly a change of career, and it’s likely I’ll need to relocate too.

Interesting times ahead. I think I need to get thinking.

I think the tickets I’ve managed to bag to see David Tennant in Love’s Labour’s Lost can only help this thought process.
