I faced a very difficult decision about 15 years ago, whether to leave a job I'd had for 37 years by taking voluntary redundancy or staying, but I had no idea what lay ahead either way. I call this moment in my life my "Butch Cassidy moment" as by jumping (leaving the job) I had *no* idea what was ahead of (or below) me. I jumped & trusted I'd land in that river, uninjured (which I did!). A wonderful scene by 2 amazing actors & it's my favourite film of all time. Great to see it again.
