Same sort of thing happened to me back in the mid 90s, only difference was it came of of the blue.
A few people told me it could be the best thing that ever happens to you & despite me thinking what a load of old bollocks, turns out they were absolutely right !
I'd been there 5 years & to be honest looking back I was in a rut, just turning up & going through the motions, should have left earlier, but you just get comfortable doing it.
I reckon I've earned double over the last 12 years than I would have done there & done far more interesting & challenging work, now whilst money isn't everything, it definitely comes in handy if you've got a penchant for motybikes & adventure sports....
Hell, I even ended up working in Liverpool for a while &
had the time of my life up there !
Good luck & be sure to let us know if you need anything
