P,
It wasn't and I love it.
Not good for my liver though..
Without joking, it was the right choice for me, I couldnt do the repetitiveness of 5/4/5/3 and Ezy's operation for the rest of my career. But as you say, there are things more important than a job, so I wish you well with your choice.
If you've got any questions feel free to pm me.
Anyway, off to the pool on the other side of the globe
