Oh I forgot to say…
Filed under Just Me
You know many, many friends around me are on the verge of a change in their careers. Both Elaine and April just started at their new companies yesterday, and then others are either going to start working or, planning to quit soon.
And I forgot to say that I quit my job too! My boss accepted my resignation last week, and I AM SO DELIRIOUS! I've never, ever, felt this excited about quitting a job before… but then again, this isn't exactly my seventh or eight job… the last time I quit I was terribly upset because it hurt to decide I had to leave the company.
This time because I'm not exactly leaving, it's not that bad at all. In fact, the options are quite amazing… first of all my boss said that I could choose not to quit if I wanted to, 'In fact you might want to consider working from home whenever you feel that the office environment isn't conducive for your creative energy.'
And so I said, 'But then again, being tied down to employment is horrible for my mind. I'd much rather provide my services for the company on a freelance basis.'
He took to that quite kindly, thank God.
This is why it really rocks to be a writer. Heh.
Actually right now I really, really, really, need a break from writing as a vocation. Call it a sabbatical, if you may. This is one of those times when at least two weeks of complete FREEDOM from paced writing will help me charge up. I can't wait to bounce back.
I've got other plans up my sleeves, but well, I can't exactly reveal those things yet. It's sufficient to say that I'm still writing officially, less editing (actually I think it's almost a year since I did any real editing), and definitely, I'm feeling more relaxed these days.
Although I do realize that things like this don't last forever. Well, we'll see how things go as time plods along.

Wow!
I wish I could say the same thing.
I am also quitting my job later this year to further my studies abroad an am really scared.. the fear is due to the loss of financial security that this job has given me.

Yes, take a break from writing and concentrate on your blog … D’oh!
Anyway, best of luck with everything!

Please don’t quit blogging. We love your blog. Wish there were more pictures of pretty minishorts, but unfortunately there aren’t. But still love your blog anyway. Maybe one day we might even get together, in private or otherwise.

heya…all the best in your future endeavours, and don’t put the metaphysical pen down from this blog…it’s just too interesting and refreshing to put an end to it…

Having read your posts over the past week, I felt something like this was coming up…especially with the first line of this post.
Well, you seem very happy…liberated…and that I think is very important.
May the possibilities ahead be the stuff of dreams!

More POWER to you!
Heh.

Good luck in the new job, I wouldn’t really call it glamarous…but whatever.
I hope you do better in it than I expect you will, can’t see you being good at ‘it’ somehow.
April 5, 2006 at 1:02 pm
ST: i don’t have a new job! wahhahahaha i wonder where your sources come from. i can’t imagine myself being good at anything, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the people who matter believe in me, that’s all that counts.
thanks anyway.

I don’t have any sources, I just made it up, I’m not good at anything either.
And if that’s all that matters, you wouldn’t have even bothered replying to me
But thanks anyway.
