Should I quit?
I’m really seriously considering sending in my letter of resignation. I’ve already decided to look for a new job, and have been going on interviews and sending out resumes and cover letters, but I’m close to quitting without having found a replacement job.
I feel like a fool for even considering that. And I feel like my heart has already made up its mind.
I don’t hate my job. I don’t love it – particularly these last few months – but I do like the work I’m doing. I just don’t like my bosses and, more and more, I don’t like my job pulling me away from the art that I want to be doing.
Every financial and logical bone in my body is telling me to not fucking quit my well-paying and (all things considered) relatively flexible job before I’ve found a replacement. I have some savings, and have zero debt, but it’s not like I could live forever with no (or minimal) source of income.
That said, I really want to see if I can make a swing of this whole ‘artist’ thing. And to do that, I need more time to write, more time to rehearse, more time to apply to workshops and conferences, more time to try and tour to colleges and schools, more time, more time, more time.
And so I drift toward resigning, without a clear concept of what “next” would be.
Terrifying.

You’d totally rock. Also! You posted pictures of yourself somewhat recently, for a wedding maybe? And you are head-turningly beautiful. I am le jealous.
Thanks! I’m rethinking things after a full night’s sleep, but am still actively looking for other jobs. Just not sure I want to jump ship on this one without a backup…
Also, ::blush::! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten such a compliment
You are so very welcome.
