Today I walked into my place of business, called my boss, and offered her my resignation, effective immediately. I have some money saved up, enough to last me a few months until I find something else. Im paranoid, certainly; but Ill be all right. The scarier part for me is that my co-workers, who all hate that place too, remarked to me how it was somewhat inspiring that I just up and quit without a safety net. Now it is put to me: will I in fact land on my feet and be worthy of that inspiration? Or will I instead become a warning to the rest of what not to do?
Tomorrow a friend from my hometown is arriving for a week-long visit. This visit was more or less the catalyst for my quitting so abruptly, something that was already a long time coming...perhaps it was unwise, but perhaps it was also the necessary thing to force me to finally take action on all the things I have simply talked about for so long. . Ive never leapt into uncertainty quite as drastically as this. But either way, theres no going back now. Im committed to the course. Sometimes you have to force your own hand.
Better hit the ground running.

I'm gonna miss you, Dave.
