Leaving a job in Prague

2:23

But there are big mistakes that we can make.

2:23

So, have you ever made a big mistake, do you think?

2:27

Yeah. Well, once I had a job that I really, really enjoyed.

2:31

I was teaching at a school in Prague, in the Czech Republic, teaching English,

2:36

and I loved the job and I had loads of really good friends.

2:39

But I had this feeling that I needed to go – move somewhere else,

2:44

do something else with my life.

2:46

And so I resigned.

2:48

But then about a week or so later, I realised

2:53

that I really, really didn't want to leave that school.

2:56

So, I went back to the boss and I said, "I've changed my mind.

3:02

I want to stay."

3:03

And he said, "Well, it's too late because I've given your job to somebody else."

3:09

Oh no! That's so sad.

3:10

So, you left your job,

3:12

left Prague?

3:13

No, actually, a bit like your suitcase, Beth,

3:18

it ended up being OK because the person who took my job

3:22

then decided that he didn't want the job either.

3:25

So, in the end, I did stay.

3:27

So, when we make mistakes, Neil, sometimes we then have a regret

3:34

or we regret the thing that we did.
