A little bit.

You'll leave when and if you need to, people always do.

You're comfortable and know if you go elsewhere it won't be comfortable or you'll be paid less.

Just do what's important to you but the grass isn't always greener, every job has its good and bad.

It’s more a silly pride thing if I’m honest. It’s not a prestigious job and I just feel that I don’t want “this” to be my career

……but then reality hits and there’s bills to pay and lifestyle choices / leisure to pay for etc

Oh if I had my time again and all that bollocks

However, yes the grass isn’t always greener, there’s always workplace politics, and there are benefits to knowing a job so well there’s essentially no effort required anymore

Nz retail bussiness wonders why people are more and more shopping overseas, I am currently waiting over a week for motorcycle parts out of Auckland where I only live 2 hours from.
Now I have had parts out of USA arrive quicker and cheaper,
Systems are everything in bussiness and if yours is a shit one nobody is coming back. Seems more and more bussiness is losing site of no one wanting to wait an eternity for something, I could have walked and got these parts quicker

I'm continually in awe of Amazon Prime here in the UK. Ive always hated shopping anyway, the hassle of driving maybe ten miles to the nearest shopping centre, parking and then trawling around looking for the right thing.....sometimes to never find it. Urgh!

Now, I sit watching the footie on an evening and decided I needed some books for my holiday and ordered a set of five, which were delivered at 7am this morning!

Its almost magic! :lol:

I know a guy who works in one of their warehouses. He showed me his fitness app. He walks 50,000 steps a day. That's not a typo. 50,000. For comparison my highest ever total was 27,000 on a day when I was out hiking.

I have a good chance doing that amount of steps looking for my parts, yesterday there was a courier driver shot dead in auckland probably got my parts on board knowing my luck lol

These allegations against Diddy are really stacking up. He's gone from one or two allegations to full scale Jimmy Seville in a couple weeks

All he needs is a tracksuit and a gold chain and.....oh wait :tumbleweed:

Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS
The donkey said to the tiger:
- "The grass is blue".
The tiger replied:
- "No, the grass is green."
The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
- "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".
The lion replied:
- "True, the grass is blue."
The donkey hurried and continued:
- "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."
The king then declared:
- "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."
The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:
- "The Grass Is Blue"...
The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:
- "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."
The lion replied:
- "In fact, the grass is green."
The tiger asked:
- "So why are you punishing me?".
The lion replied:
- "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.
The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...
There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quietness are worth more.

I read that and thought of Gooners World! :lol:
