Got a bill in the mail today that just sorta sucked the joy out of me. It was a bill from my ENT showing just how crappy our new insurance is at work. I loved my job.

*hugs* i'm sorry, sweets. that truly sucks. the dilemma of liking your coworkers and clients vs liking the paycheque is truly a connundrum. i stuck out a place where i was paid well but absolutely hated the environment, the management, my boss, my coworkers and went home in tears every night, for 6 years. life's too short to be so miserable and unhappy.

you don't know that you will be miserable at any new job that you go to. it won't be the same as what you have now, granted, but it won't necessarily be worse. perhaps some of your clients will follow you over (there are certain industries, i think, where this is prone to happen and yours is one). people love you for a reason and won't want to lose that relationship. and your new clients and coworkers may be just as awesome -- you don't know yet.

change is always tough, especially when we don't want it or aren't ready for it. i'm so sorry you're feeling sad about the whole thing, and i can definitely understand why. it puts everything in a state of flux and creates so much uncertainty and stress, and that sucks. but you have a plan, you have options and you have to look at the change as a stepping stone or a transition to a new and better place. xoxo

owe you an email -- it's coming!
