Over and over during my life it has been pounded into my head - Never, under any circumstances, quit a job without something else lined up.
Well, because I'm crazy like that, I did just that. I left my employer. I'd been there for four years - at least half of that time spent very miserable, for various reasons. So instead of pissing, whining, moaning, and bitching MORE, while I continue to throw my life away and try to find any type of escape I can, I took action.
I took a leap of faith. (I liken it to running full boar towards the edge of a cliff, with a thrift-store parachute on your back. I'm pretty sure that I've got a parachute. I think. But in the back of my head, I'm praying that when I finally pull the rip cord, a real live parachute comes out of the pack - and NOT a bunch of picnic supplies.)
So now it's time to figure out what I want to do, where I want to go, and in which direction i want my life to go.
I've only ever really done computer stuff... be it repair (five years) or operation (eight? ten?). I'm pretty sure that's where I want to stay. I don't think repair so much, though. I kind of want to have someone I can call if it's broken.
But I think what's doing me the most good right now is just taking a step back and reassessing my situation.
So yeah, I'm looking for work. I try to apply a couple different places each day. But I'm also enjoying the hell out of my pseudo-vacation. =)
