Thank you all so much for your support!

An anecdote from my day really made me feel like I'd made the right decision.

I was explaining to some of the people who worked for my client that I was leaving so that would no longer be the liaison for my company (to do some freelance writing-- that's all I'm telling them.)

One woman among this group said "Oh, yeah! (Her coworker) told me you were a writer! I was telling her that I can never understand what you're saying because you use such big words, and she said it was 'cause you were a writer."

I think it's a prerequisite to be of subpar intelligence to work at my client's office. I will have to be there another month, but then it's off to find people who occasionally use words that have greater than five letters.

Congratulations! And good luck finding the job you deserve.

LSPE!

Congratulations... I know you're gonna do great!

(Interesting comment about the big words thing - I got one the other day, and was perplexed... We talk in big words here, I talk in big words with my friends... It's kind of strange to imagine a world where there are fewer words to choose from. Anyhow... (Why do I feel like a snotty B!tch right now?))

You know, it is one thing to be pedantic and quite another to utilize the vacabulary freely available to you.

That story so illustrated that you made the right decision!

'Grats on making a big jump!

Good for you! Sounds like a good reason for you to come see me at DL next week! ;)

I didn't understand this part. Could you please use smaller words. ;)

My Motto: Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
