glad I quit my job

Wow, should have done it a lot sooner. It's only been one month since I've left.

1) I'm making more money
2) I have a lot more time for myself
3) I get more respect from my co-workers, they laugh at my jokes
4) I can stay up until 2:00am on a weeknight or wake up at 4:00am and do a bit of work before crashing again at 7:00am

I'm a free spirit! yay!

and did I mention I have time to do hatha yoga before breakfast?

Congrats!

Yeah, me too. I was tied to my job but since I quit I think I like my life better now.

My new job fits my life better now... I keep saying that this change was a blessing in disguise.

bookkeeping/financial management
I work mostly at home, have a few different clients, and sometimes go to the office for meetings

in the next few months I should also get a couple part-time gigs teaching college and/or high school

yeah, I learned a big lesson about this. Don't stick around when the situation is bad. The week after I gave notice, one of my part-time gigs offered to double my hours, promote me to more responsibility, and accepted my raised rate. woot! Then a friend out of the blue contacted me with two job referrals.

It's true what they say...the universe provides...

If I'd had known it would have been so easy, I would have quit a long time ago. Fear was holding me back.
