Proclamation

I am writing this down here because writing something makes it more real. Hopefully by writing it down I will stick to it.

In June is Lilies War where my troupe and I will perform. I am waiting until then so I can use my hard-earned vacation time for that purpose. As soon as Lilies is over I am getting out of my current job. Obviously there is no future in it, but I am sick of the way I am treated there. Also, my only co-worker whom I consider a friend had to quit yesterday due to outside circumstances. I have been mulling this over for a few days but my friend leaving was confirmation that this is indeed the right thing to do.

I tend to stick around at jobs forever until something forces me to go. It's easier for me to stay in a job I dislike than it is to do the hard thing and find something better. But I'm not doing that anymore. So yeah, after I use my vacation the rest is just borrowed time. I don't know what I'll do yet but I feel great just setting a date on finding out what it is.

I'm really sorry your coworker quit, that can definitely be a breaking point. Good luck with finding a new job.

It's surprisingly a strong deciding factor. But in a way having a friend there was an excuse not to have to get out. This is probably a good thing for both of us.

Speaking from experience, I completely understand how tough making that first step can be. Once you find something better, you will be sincerely relieved that you took that step.

I really want to take that step, too. It's hard to wait until June to start looking.

You know where I came from...I've done so many things for too long that were bad for me -- relationships, jobs, bad habits.

The realization and then planning to get out on your own terms -- that's a very good thing.

Wishing you well.

Thanks. It's a different way of doing things for me, but one that's long overdue.

YAYE!!! Good for you, seriously!
It's taken all my will power and energy not to walk out of my job like...every day. So I feel ya there.

Good luck Tyree! I hope you find something as awesome as you deserve!
