| Can't say too much but 95% office based job at a computer most of the time, can be a bit soul destroying on occasion. My work have been good too, very supportive. Hope you get sorted soon, indulge yourself in the meantime and try and stay positive! |

Ideally take a holiday, do things that make you happy, explore your new home and come back to it refreshed. Tell us how yo... |
