At university, it seemed that Adam had enjoyed a sense of continuity between his work and his leisure, choosing to do programming in his spare time, but his unhappiness at work had increasingly led him to view his life in terms of compartmentalised spheres of work and relaxation: ‘there was the work me and the home me’. Unsatisfied with this situation, Adam had made the drastic decision to quit the job and jet off to Japan to teach English. When we spoke, he seemed giddy:

My job is being the face of foreign and saying ‘English is very exciting!’ People come up to me and I can explain things to them, and they say ‘thank you, now I understand that’ … When I started doing the English job I was like ‘wow, you can enjoy yourself’, so I can’t go back to those earlier jobs now.
