Setting the wheels in motion

Until Thursday, it was all just talk.

I had planned to resign on Friday but discovered at about 16:00 on Thursday that my boss, Andy, was having Friday off, so when he came out of his meeting I took him into a room and gave him the news.

He said he’d known it was coming, but hadn’t expected it this soon. With a three month notice period I didn’t have much choice though, as the plan is to start the HRP at the beginning of June.

There’s still a tiny chance that RBS will reconsider their decision not to give me a sabbatical, now that I’ve made my move. Although having to be back by a certain date would limit my flexibility, knowing I had a job to come back to would certainly make my parents happier!

Either way, the wheels are now in motion.
