This is a very good question. I don't know either. I used to teach English language. I had a fairly decent job (for TEFL) in Lyon teaching business English. One day, I was teaching a guy, and he asked me what was wrong. I said I don't know. Then I said I don't think I can do this any more. He thought it was the exercise we were working on. I said no, this job. I just don't think I can do it.

A few weeks later I resigned. Now I look after houses for wealthy folk in Normandy. A caretaker. I get paid very modestly, but I have no bills/rent. In effect, I have the same amount of money at the end of each month as I did in Lyon. But the difference is I have no one to tell me what to do. It's a big change, and makes a big difference to my life and mental state.

I resigned. But did I?
