What Freaking Time is it???
No, you aren't imagining things. I am really posting at 5am! I can't believe I am here when the sun isn't up yet. See, I am working on something with a guy in the UK for a customer in Hong Kong. That's 5 hours ahead and 12 hours ahead. This is really the only time we can all get together. After all, we wouldn't expect the Hong Kong guys to stay late or anything...
You know how I can't make decisions about my life? Well, I was talking to Shelly yesterday and had a breakthrough. I don't know if she brought it up or if I brought it up or how we even got on the conversation, but I'm so happy we did. I want to own a book store! Think about it, I'd be surrounded by all the books I could read. I would have great new releases and classic books. People could buy, sell, and trade used books. From my summer living in Seattle, I know how to make any kind of coffee drink on earth. From my love of cooking, there would be all kind of baked goodies. And it all goes well, maybe I could have a little cafe for sandwitches and stuff. What do you think?
I makde another important decision the other day. I'm going to quit. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. "so, what's new about that? You were already going to quit." Well, I'm not going to wait till I sell the house. I am just too stressed and worn out for all of this mess. I am going to find another job asap. I'd rather work 2 minimum wage jobs to pay my bills if I have to rather than put up with this bull for any longer. So this weekend, I begin the job hunt. Wish me luck!

Good luck with the job hunt, sweetie. Clarity is a helluva drug!
My boss recently quit his job to pursue his own business. He said he's wanted to do it for a long time but the security of a steady paycheck was just too hard to give up. I spoke to him yesterday and he couldn't be happier. Life is too daggone short to NOT be doing something that makes you happy.
You should get a bonus cash award for working during good sleeping time. As for your book store aspirations, when you get a chain, make sure you set up some stores in Maryland.
Chele – Thanks for the good luck wishes. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Aziza – Girl, you didn’t know I was from that area? My parents live in northern VA. That’s where I’m headed when the house sells.
You made some serious decisions right there!
I agree with Chele, life is too short, and if you don't try you'll always be wondering "what if".
And when you open up your book store, lemme come work for you!
Books + coffee + baked goods = heaven
Good luck, keep us posted on how things progress.
I like the bookstore idea. I'm in favor of you doing whatever it is that makes you happy.
good for you! it will definitely feel loads better being out of a job you are not enjoying - working two jobs, without the stress of your old one - working towards your goals, will feel so much righter. good luck on a speedy job search/find!
Of course it was my idea! :) But you left out the best part - opening the bookstore on a caribbean island.
