What if anything do you miss about being in a proper job?

	TBH, quite a lot! Trouble is, after being self-employed for so long, there are also a ton of things I don't miss at all! Mainly, I miss the "big deals", the projects to manage, the processes to design/implement. I even miss the board meetings! I also miss being part of a "big company" and having a whole load of different people I could meet on a daily basis. Indeed, where I am now, I could do with a few Brits to talk to!!! Oh! Did I forget to mention the big salary?

	Go on Kev! Being employed is a bit like being self employed, the difference is you only got one client and if that client decides they no longer want your services... If u got a plan B, you'll never make your Plan A work...

	I do not know what you mean, I think I do a proper job now. Not sure if all the BS in some of the so called proper jobs I had before, were they proper jobs.

	Thanks Brad! The penny has finally dropped over the last month. The last 3 and a bit years (from my 1st 4N meet) has all been about the plan 'B' - The penny has finally dropped that the day job has to go if I'm to make a success of s/e - It's not really the security blanket I thought, just makes me damn miserable. Loving Burfords but also going back to my roots. Profile update soon - The DG link to the left is a clue :-)

	There are times I miss being able to go home and forget about work until the next day, or go on holiday and leave someone else to deal with it all. But then I love the fact that the buck now stops with me.
