Does this mean you are going to have to come up with a new excuse for no-shows at runs and trackdays :mrgreen:

Good luck with the new job :D

Good on you.

Takes balls to leave a job but every time i've done I've left a "perfectly good job" it's turned out well.

Best of luck 8)

12 years! That's impressive.

Good luck with whatever the new job is. I think starting a new job is one of the most enjoyable things in life, which is why I've done it a couple of times in the past few years! Enjoy! :)

More applicable to ask what I didn't do!

1/3 of a production company (with the other 2/3 being husband and wife duo)

Core skills as a Sound Engineer, Cameraman and video/audio editor/producer. Also did gfx design, proposal origination, event management, rigging, yadda, yadda.....

Tired of the life (no peace) and the constant pressure, allied with the recent complete lack of efforts from the bosses, nailed the coffin shut. :(

Shame, cos it was great fun when I was 18. I'm a bloody long way off 18 now though :wink: :lol:
