That does sound frustrating.

It's completely logical that I could work say three or four days at home a week. But my boss is all about appearances, and looking like we are a 'real animation studio', so I'm stuck with a 3hr commute every day. Just a frustrating waste of time for no valid reason.Ben McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921603204606787363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30667667.post-47031809519208773292013-10-17T20:50:03.331+11:002013-10-17T20:50:03.331+11:00Hi Charlie,

And yes, hopefully those measures will lead to a wise decision. I would like to stay within a reasonable distance of Sydney ...<br /><br />Anon, yes. Moving on and seeing what circumstances allow is the plan (and as you say, that is usually how God makes things clear ...).Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860216271350147224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30667667.post-7374180981536564052013-10-17T14:17:21.334+11:002013-10-17T14:17:21.334+11:00easier to steer a car when its moving - so go fort...easier to steer a car when its moving - so go forth and start looking, applying and see what opens up. I am sure God will close doors as well as open them. St. Paul would often say he desired to do this or go somewhere but said the Spirit stopped them or redirected them. But he was always going forward. I was in a similar predicament to you. So I moved to Mount Gambier for a lesser job (still ok though). It is cool, cheap, lots of nature,history,geology, near the coast and lots of quaint little coastal and inland places. Big enough to have all your needed shops and places like the Grampians are only a couple of hours drive away. Weather is colder - more Wales at times then New South! I have no regrets leaving the big city behind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30667667.post-32927130315217661282013-10-16T21:57:21.874+11:002013-10-16T21:57:21.874+11:00I too been weighing up career options with my work...I too been weighing up career options with my work looking to offshore jobs :-( Life has difficult decisions even if you are married etc.<br /><br />Sorry to hear you may be leaving Sydney sometime.

I think a couple of hours commute each way three days a week becomes, as you say, rather wearying!

But with 3 days a week I could manage a longer commute from say Gosford. Or the Mountains. But it's still an exhausting thought.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032738983280990503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30667667.post-37238804969127820282013-10-13T12:54:55.059+11:002013-10-13T12:54:55.059+11:00Thank you Meredith!
