July 31st, I finally said goodbye to my team on our WhatsApp work group. I didn't know these people because I never met them so I didn't feel any emotion when I thanked them for their well wishes. I only felt joy and gratitude for the opportunity to be useful to an organisation in the last year. I was particularly happy when my country lead who's also my friend, told me I was one of the easiest people to work with, because that's really how I like getting work done.
The next day, I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like I ought to be busy and it felt very weird to not be in front of my screen editing articles. I tried resuming my data analysis classes but the network in Yenegoa was so bad, I couldn't do my exercises. I mostly lazied around and was on my phone checking details about life in the UK. If you haven't been keeping up with my husband, belemo's posts or gotten any hints from my older posts, we're moving to the UK in a bit and that's the reason I finally quit my job.
Currently, I don't have a regular source of income like I'm used to having but I'm already job hunting for part-time roles in the UK. I don't have big expectations, in fact, I'm ready to do blue, grey, whatever collared jobs there are, I just need to earn something. I have an idea of what I'm getting into from tales of friends and others and I think I'm mentally prepared.
For now, I'm enjoying time with family and breaking down into tears every now and then at the thought of not seeing them in a while. These last weeks here have been a bit of a vacation and I've tried to not bother much about my unemployed state or making money. I will ease into sharing on hive instead now that I have all the time, before life takes over all of my time again.
Moving out from your comfort place is also saddening but that's life 😅.
Wishing you the best of life in UK!
I've been more teary than I expected but it's okay 🤭
Thank youuuu
Wowwww! This is the beginning of another adventure for you and your family. I wish you all the BEST in this new adventure. I know you are a resilient lady. You have eyes for opportunities. Hehe
God bless this new stage of your life and God bless Hubby too.
Thanks for your good wishes my guy, they're very much needed.
Good luck on your next journey in UK. I am sure you'll figure things out more once you're there, can't wait for your story in the UK too!
Thank you Cemy ❤️
Aw this is great news, best of luck to you and yours on this new journey. Can’t wait to see London from your pov here on hive.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences
Exciting times that’s for sure! You’re a power couple for sure and will be a great positive impact on the UK, we need more people with you and your husbands drive and eager to work and be parts of society. Too many lazy people these days!
Good luck with the job hunt there, it starts small but if we make good impressions in our work, it can lead to increased success later on!
This is so good to know. We're going to give it our all and hope for the best.
I wish you all the best out there. It can be really challenging leaving a known environment to start life in a new society.
I like your resolution to start something asap. Keep up the spirit, you'll definitely conquer.
Thank you @goodysam
