A valid point and in my head, that is originally how it played out. However, since covid my plans for the future have changed several times and I am no longer sure what the future holds. For now I am just rolling stumbling blocks out of my way for any future moves, which may, or may not materialise.If the exams had an unlimited lifespan I would definitely have left the LST for a potential new employer.
