hey guess what!?

i'm "pulling an anne" and quitting my new job already!

yeah, so i can't hack it. i know it's good money, but my sanity has no price. i hate every single aspect of that job. so i called borders right after work and asked if they'd filled the position yet. luckily for me, they were thrilled that i reniged on the other job and i start on tuesday. it's waay less money, but i don't give a damn. i didn't move halfway across the goddamned country to stare at a scanner for 8 hours a day (the alternate view was of the parking lot).

i've shed a few tears over this--mostly because i left work this afternoon more frustrated than i've been in a long time. and because the pressure is now on for mike to get a job too. i feel awful about it right now, but i know that things will turn out for the best.

good for you, anne.

no job is worth your happiness.


ps. this is what we refer to as an act of "No Notice Nina" just for future reference.

yes, social and societal conventions are meant to be thrown off. this is why i rarely attend weddings, funerals, and showers. sometimes work falls into that category, too.

the last wedding i attended was yours, kitty, so that's sayin something!

life's too short to be doing things you don't want to. that's my official motto.

actually, i JUST remembered that i went to a wedding in chicago last year. i LIED to you: yours wasn't the last one i'd been to. see? this is why i just tend to stay home.
