Freedom, scary freedom.

I gave my notice at work today: 2 weeks and 1 day. It's time to get out of there.

I have Plans about what's next. Currently they do not involve posting here to say "everybody send me a dollar OMG so I can finish all my fanfic". We'll see how it goes. :)

One of my paper trays is making a weird noise. I hope there's not a giant bug in there.

*waves dollar bill* Yeah baby! shake it!

quitting can be really satisfying, especially after all the buildup. At least, that's how i felt about the movie theater after working there on and off for more than five years.

Yes, it was very satisfying! I'm the last one of a particular group to go and I'm glad I finally made the push.

I am bouncing up and down with glee for you, my dear. What a wonderful relief it must be.

Can't wait to hear all about it.

BTW, this Saturday is good for chat. I'll email you.

Thank you! I'm sorry we didn't get to chat about it beforehand. I had dinner plans with former co-workers tonight and I knew I couldn't face them unless I did this first.

And one of them had a project referral for me right away, so I'm taking that as a good sign. :)

Heh. As good a motivation as any, I suppose. (:

And yay, referrals!

Oh yay! XD Congrats. ^.^ Where do you work currently?

Thank you! I do web development and programming. So I'm hoping to keep afloat doing contract work for now.

Congrats, and good luck! I'm not exactly sure what kind of work you do (though I have the feeling it's computer related for some reason) but I know finding a job is never fun.

Still, change is good!

Thank you! I do web dev and I have some contract opportunities in the offing, so I'm hoping to make a go of it on my own.

I'd send you a dollar. 0_0 Maybe even tree-fiddy.

I'll let you know if it comes to that. :)

Shame, that. You're one of the few writers I'd send money to ^^

Good luck with your plans!

I'll keep that in mind. *g* Thank you!

Whee! That is awesome. And also scary, so bravo on you for doing it. I look forward to hearing about your Plans!

It is very awesome. I will tell you all, never fear.

Congratulations! The first step is scary, as others have said, but ultimately you'll be glad you took it. Reminds me of when I was younger and quit my dead-end job and relationship for what ultimately became the great job and relationship I have today. Definitely worth it! ^__^

I think I should be scared, but I'm not, mostly just relieved. It's been kind of a bad situation, but I tend to have a lot of intertia, so I hung on longer than most people there did.

I anticipate good things now!

Good luck, dear one.
