i think it's age--youth imparts a lot of immediacy and import to whatever you're doing in life. i've tried to go back an reread some of the books that made such an impact on me when i was younger, but they seem so flat now. it was a little sad. i've been reading a lot of fluff as well. things change, but it's still good.
That's why I did what I did. Like.. I've left everyone else on good terms. And I've already secured another job.
I could use some money, but I'll still get paid for a week or two more, and I start my new one full-time in 2 weeks. I can go in and work a while tomorrow and any other days if I want, too. So.. why the hell not? Though I am a bit sorry for making them have to stretch out to cover my stuff.. but they're corporate. They have a back-up plan with on-calls.
