The Past/Decisions
Last night I was out for beers with a good mate of mine who moved over to Zurich about 7 years ago. Proper reminisce times.

He moved out there as a result of an argument with someone here in work and applied for some jobs on the Friday, telephone interview on the Monday then flew out on the Tuesday

What snap decisions are you most happy with/unhappy with?
