Alright, so I've worked at the same place for three years, and for the past few months, I've felt like it was eating my soul, bit by bit. I love the people I work with, but hated the job. So, tonight, after lots of thought, and discussion with Martel, and getting upset and crying a lot, I've decided to quit my job!

YAY FOR ME!

I have been so scared to finally tell myself I was going to quit, even tho I had been contemplating it for months, because I was afraid of what it might mean to myself- I thought that if I quit, then I was giving myself an opening for letting myself down. Because if I quit, that meant I might run the chance of not being able to get another job, etcetcetc. But you know, what could POSSIBLY be worse than working day after day at a job that was stealing your soul and making you a bitch with not enough time to tend to your school work and your marriage?

So, tommorow I'm calling my supervisor and telling her that I can no longer afford the impact on my school life that work is taking. This is such a huge step for me, and I wanted to share with you all, because I have seen threads on here about people hating their jobs and wanting to quit or get another one and not thinking they could take that first step. I think it's a bit like rapelling- dropping yourself over the edge of the cliff is the hardest part of the whole ordeal!

I just wanted to share, and ask if you guys had any good ideas about how to go about looking for your dream job, and things to do 7 weeks prior to college graduation to keep me sane and happy and focused.

I <3 TFP!!!
