I quit my job today.

It was a rather strange and oddly liberating experience actually. Suddenly everything I have stressed about for the last two and a 1/4 years at work is of absolutely no consequence (well, of course it was always inconsequential, but now I don’t have to worry about it anymore; it is well and truly somebody else’s problem). Rather bizarrely, I am still pretending that I haven’t resigned, as my boss is (ahem) “working from home” today and tomorrow and wants to tell the rest of the department first himself.

Anyway, I have spent the afternoon listening to the Commons Iraq debate on Radio 4, just to darken my otherwise sunny disposition.
