I quit my job today.

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-18-2006, 05:39 PM

Terrified. Exhilarated.

I will miss having insurance.
I will not miss the insurance industry.

I will miss one or two coworkers.
I will not miss the remainder of the people at either company I work with... in-the-box automatons who imply that I'm the one who's square because I stepped out of the box long ago.

I will miss the paycheck.
I will not miss the boss who deals it out while never listening to a thing I've ever said to prevent horrible problems that inevitably blow us out of the water because she refuses to have foresight or listen to mine.

I have some freelancing to fall back on. And I have more jobs to which I must apply. This is aggravating but hopefully it will introduce me to a company that both offers a modicum of respect and uses more of my alinear skills. My brain is a web, and I want to spread it wider, not mash it into a line in order to fit into a machine.

Terrified. Exhilarated.

's to you, and your next door-opening: may it be all that you want and deserve. Life's too short to waste!

You Go Girl!
As Auntie Mame would say, Live! Live! Live!
You will do fine! Besides, you can always meet up with the co-workers you will miss!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

I'm so proud of you for making this leap. It will all work out and be MUCH better than before. At the worst, it will be different, which is still good.

You GO!

w00t! Being sans-job is difficult and draining, but that just makes finding the perfect one that much sweeter when you do. Good luck!
