I got a card in the post from my family today.
It said:
"You hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called everybody and they meet at the bar." More

It was a weird New Years Eve celebration on account that I'd decided that I was not going to drink alcohol. I'd done this every New Year since I could, and I just wasn't going to be bothered with a stinking hangover the next day. This was when I discovered Red Bull. A great night was had by all. My eyes were on stalks, and I could still feel the room moving, and hear my ears buzzing the next day. So not much different from alcohol then.Any way, I digress. Is that spelt right?, as I've never used that word in the written form before. I had one of those, what I call a "ping moment" during a quite moment in the middle of the evening. "This Year, I was going to learn LeRock dancing, and do that life coaching course that I've kept on talking to myself about for the last 4 years or so". It really was a crystal clear decision. I couldn't remember a choice being made with such a sense of clarity and determination. More

So, a copy of We Are What We Do's latest book, Change the World 9 to 5 arrived in the Careershifters HQ last month.
Like their previous Change The World With A Fiver, this book brilliantly balances worthwhile actions with a wonderful design and a healthy dose of humour.
Actions we particularly like include and "Try a job swap" (no. 68) and "Aspire not to have more, but to be more" (no. 82), but dare we say it, our favourites are in the submissions listed on the fold-out cover that didn't make it into the main book... "Dare to talk about your dreams with your employer"; "If what I'm doing isn't working, change what I'm doing"; and "Do a job you're passionate about!"
And if you've been delving into our ShiftStories, you'll also know that Eugenie Harvey, Director of We Are What We Do, is a career shifter herself. You can read her story here.
