Traded in the job, time to get in the water

Postby benjl » Tue Oct 06, 2015 3:15 am

After lurking around here the last couple of months with very little postage or surfing, I decided to take a change in career and get back on the road.

I have just come back to my desk after handing my resignation and a hopefull sigh of relief that i've made the right decision.

I was tapped on the shoudler by two different companies in different career paths. One was at repco head office looking after several of their categories for NZ and AUS (purely desk based), the other was as a national key account manager at Amcor flexibles asia pacific.
In the end i have decided to take the Amcor role and once again hit the roads, keeping customers happy like my last position.

One of the perks is a new company car with unlimited personal and petrol card use.

I have decided that I'm going to make a new years resolution to try and aim to surf every break in the upper north island from Auckland to Cape Reinga and get to know New Zealand a bit more.
I'll try to create a photo log from each break and shed some light on how they all go. There looks to be about 40-50 breaks so it may be a busy year!

Time to go home and have a :beer: :beer: :beer: :woot: :woot:

I'll be waiting to hear about your adventures.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
