    So good Andy, loved this story and cracked up hearing about your boss... also what an awesome archive! Glad you got through it...

    Thank you, Andy. You're a wonderful storyteller (and terrific photographer but that's rather assumed). I found that to be a moving and interesting look at a thick slice of your life. After a lifetime of suffering from anxiety, depression and having experienced a couple of meltdowns myself, I tip my hat to you for just being here. Here's to the New Year!

    Were it not for photography I'm sure I'd never leave my apartment. This video resonates with me. And your delivery of the word "c**t" should be applauded. Such a beautifully offensive and totally underrated expletive. As a Londoner living in the US, that word has been my gift to my friends who use it willy nilly now. I continue to very much enjoy your content. All the best.

    Dude. This is me. I was also born in the UK, had a meltdown, came to Australia, fast forward 15 years, diagnosed with autism probably adhd too. And photography has quite literally saved my life, more than once. Thanks for sharing. Seriously, huge 😊. 😊

    Agree with some of the earlier comments. Great storytelling Andy and laughed out loud a couple of times. You're rapidly becoming one of my favourite You Tubers. I once had a boss who would fly off the handle about nothing. But I wouldn't take it. I always stood up to him. I knew he wouldn't sack me because nobody else could do my job.

      Cheers Ria. That does indeed sound like a brilliant job. It's easier to get your hustle on when you love something, so I'm sure you'll find a way to accomplish your dream. :)

    Agreed, you don't realise the problem till you are out of the other side. Following 30 years in construction, I only realised I had been in the wrong job was when I retired !

    What an awesome video Andy, thanks for being so open about your experience and how photography played such a huge part in your life. I especially love the descriptive word you used to describe your ex boss, i actually laughed out loud

    • @Andyhutchinson
      @Andyhutchinson  Год назад +1

      Thank-you kindly. It was pretty much the only word that would do. :)

    Your ex-boss must have been quite the drama queen to put it mildly. He must have got the shock of his life when you exploded. I wonder who picked up what's left of your boss in the aftermath. 😊

      He wasn't there much longer than me as it turned out.

      @@Andyhutchinson Looks like you did your ex-colleagues a great favour. Pity the folks though, at the place where to went to haunt next. 😊
