Update on my life as of 7:30 this morning.
Well, I went in to work today and quit. I just don't think it was working out. I knew what all I needed to do, but I couldn't do it. Also, the schedule is wreaking (sp?) havoc on my music career, which has always been foremost in my life. Any job I get should supplement my music, not replace it. So I've decided to jump head-first into teaching, because I already have some leads on students. I'll probably be scraping by for a while, but I know that it will all work out eventually (I just pray that it's soon). I'm only in debt by less than $2,000 and I want to keep it that way.
In other news...um, well that's about it. This new (ahem--old, former) job took all of my time. I worked Monday through Friday, 8:00 am (sometimes 7:00) to 6:00 pm. Saturdays were spent running around trying to take care of errands and chores, and Sundays were spent at church or gigging. And occasionally I slept. So I really had no life outside of work.
The hardest part of leaving wasn't telling the owner (although that was hard), but telling the guy who started my training. Not only because I had a crush on him, but because I was on his crew--a part of his team. That team is one person short now because of me, but I know that soon there will be new, energetic and more-fitting people on his crew that will help him do his job better and move on to bigger and better things.
There were just too many factors in the job that didn't sit well with me. If you want to know more details, you can always ask and I'll tell you outside of LJ. Oh, and I also now have several new suits that I have no place to wear, not to mention that they're all too big now since I lost some of my post-grad weight. Maybe now that I'm unemployed again, the weight will come back.
Well, I think I'll go back to bed for a little bit. Then I have errands and some phone calls to make. Good morning.
