I've been saying for a while now that one of my dream jobs would be the IT director for a small but successful company. I kind of have that now without the successful part ,but beggars can't be choosers right?

You're right there! Hopefully you can get the full package at some point. I work as a freelancer moderating social media. Freelancing has it's perks but it is a disaster in terms of financial stability. Although, I still prefer it to working for a shareholder controlled corporation that inevitably squeezes it's staff for everything it can. From what I've heard, the German economic model seems to be one of the better ones. Generally, they have shorter working days but greater productivity during working hours. Their employee health benefits also lead to many less people being 'on the sick' too. It's a balance that fosters loyalty and respect both ways, seemingly without sacrificing productivity. I'd love to see more of that work culture in the UK.
Haha, I can't tell you the number of times that I have been sick and felt like I was on my death bed, but there I was sitting at my desk at work because of my work ethic. Does that show dedication or does it just show that I am being taken advantage of. Freelance work sounds like it has it's perks for sure!
