Freedom

Last night I handed in my security pass and left RBS for the final time. For the first time since I was at university, I’m now unemployed.

The guys from work bought me an awesome Leatherman Blast as my leaving present, then joined me for some drinks in a bar near the office. The Leatherman was one of the last few things left to buy from the kit list - probably the most useful leaving present ever!

Although I’ve been looking forward to this point for months, the last few days I’ve felt a bit nervous about the whole thing, wondering whether quitting a job is such a great idea after all. It’s going to take a while to get used to the idea, but I’m pretty sure it’s the right thing to do!

I’m off to Scotland to test out my kit next week, so the main focus now is getting the last few bits and bobs. I then need to pack it all, see how much it weighs, then start trying to figure out what I can leave behind…
