Wanton Wisdom Wanted

BIG Breath.

Today I quit my job.

And, I really wasn't expecting it to happen THIS SOON. But, I was asked to provide an answer to my boss about whether my current career was the one for me, and I was given a few days to think about it. To say yes meant total commitment, to say no meant going forward with changing my career.

Stresss, yes.

However, in the long run I had to be honest with myself and my company. No, I was not ever going to be happy with my job, and I am pretty sure I want to forge ahead with new plans. So, it was pretty straightforward, although I am completely overwhelmed and more than a little scared.

I hope I don't starve! I hope I can get into school! Ohmigosh, what HAVE I DONE!

Ironically, driving home today, the sun came out for the first time since that freak snowstorm last week.

Well, you made the first step to the rest of your life. Good for you. I can offer my congratulations and best wishes. You are brave to do this. As you said, the sun came out for the first time in awhile. I believe this is a positive sign for you. You saw the sun and you welcomed it!!!!

Yahoo, TT! You rock!

The journey of 1000 miles begins with just one step. And in this case, that first step is a doozy! Well done! Keep your heart and mind open to all the amazing ways the universe is going to take care of you now!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

It seems you did the right (and courageous) thing. March forward, don't look back. Think of this as the first day in a new chapter...one with freedom.

Wow TT. I admire your courage.

There is something satisfying about being able to take charge of your own life w/o a company owning all your thoughts and actions-esp when they hinder family time. Enjoy your new life- money may be tight, but there are many rewards ahead you can't see until you leave the old post. Good Luck.

Yay! Now get a PT tech job and start applying to U.W.!

(My clinic is always willing to take some volunteers, too; if you want to increase your volunteer experience. They just aren't hiring techs anymore, just assts.)

Are you going to be in a housing crunch because of your income change?

Congrats, trickytiger!

Well, I woke up this morning and freaked out all over again. However, the good part is, now I am DEFINITELY committed! There is no other way to go but forward!
