yes, you are, but I understand the brain munging
do your best to take advantage of the time and money, do courses and shit "continuing professional development", even stuff not directly related to what your intended function will be, OU/local college/uni springs to mind, you can always get extra qualifications, and you never know they could help with professional memberships and networking that would be beneficial to your company

in the position you're in you really got as much "free" (as it were) work for yourself as you want to make, and it's a really handy position to be in, if motivated

but local authorities? "not my job" "eee, do you know what 'him' just said about 'her'" and all that ongoing juvenile crap that feels like it's a fucking school for your working life? how many years is that? 30+? (fuck me I hate those kind 'offices' with the god damn lifers at the same grade forever with annual increments, meh)

the lottery folks are just bored and have probably never really had enough time for themselves, especially if they had a crappy job+shit commute where they were no doubt had a fair bit of their soul burned out, maybe by working for the council :D

one thing I've learned about opportunities is that if you bin them, they really stop turning up.

Good luck in what you decide.

Also, got any vacancies available? :D
