I’m really not sure if I’ve actually done this, but it certainly seems more likely.

Basically, for the last five years I’ve been in a soul sapping, confidence destroying hell hole of a company. It left me pretty much destroyed mentally, constantly doubting I could do anything useful. But about 4 months ago I finally got off my arse and went looking for jobs. It wasn’t exactly a fun experience (mainly because of an interview from hell) but I’ve got a new job in a new country. And it’s a vast improvement on the old work.

I’m not entirely sure I’d say I’m passionate about the new work, but I’m more interested in work than I have been in years. Perhaps that was the goal after all?
