I had a moment of truth early last year, I knew I had contacts in fields I wanted to work in and I knew that I had experienced more than a lot of my peers both in childhood and now as an adult.

I started discussing and thinking about my options at work and researched what we were doing, I descovered that history was not taken into account and that the financial situation in America had not been understood and that a favour from a collegue had legal complications.

Instead I got told I was both mad and ill by my nuclear family and partner.

I saw that things that companies do can be open to manipulation and attack both by human error and intention (ie, blaming a computer and identifying methods of comms that cause a threat to valued and private information – and that jealousy and greed can ruin someones life). Trusting who I thought was a real friend was wrong. Or was it?

I tried to talk and wasnt listend, instead bullied out of a position when I had knowledge etc I even felt that something very good was going to happen, for once, instead I ended up on long term sick and isolated from the people who knew me and who asked for me.

I wanted to get fit physically and retrain mentally.

Heres to hopefully having another go at it and fingers crossed this time someone might actually believe me! and LET me do something! Are we all still the masters of our own destiny or is global equality …

(maybe we are all mentally impaired if we understand too much and is it really any one individuals fault if paying attention and noticing details that are otherwise missed is wrong???)

I think I get the concept now – if you don’t like your job in the city, you can find another job in the city. Maybe I should go and work for a publishing house. St Paul’s is right near me.

Thanks guys.

I like this – I have had many moments. I once remember hearing Rob Gauntlett (Youngest Brit to climb Everest, first to go from North to South Pole using natural power) talk about his experiences. I certainly had a moment then.
He was 21, I’m 26. He was living the dream stretching himself to his very max mentally and physically when he was in his prime. I am sitting at a desk editing PowerPoint all day?

Lets get all those inspirational stories in one place and spread the message to people bored of working in the city so they too can have their moments!
