I Quit My Job to Blog

For almost two years I have been working two jobs...part time at LOFT...part time at Familius.

Well, in the past 6 months, Familius has asked me to come on full-time, and of course I said yes!

Being the stickler that I am, I couldn't bring myself to give up my 50% employee discount at LOFT. I convinced myself that I needed the extra $80/a week to pay for things like groceries and electricity. Let's be honest. I used that $80/a week to actually pay for things like shoes.

Life has turned into one big cycle of going from one job to another, and I don't have time for much else. So, about a week ago I had a mini self-intervention to see if I was doing things that really were worth my time.

Yes, I can work two jobs and have more spending money...
OR, I can work one job and learn how to budget better.

Yes, I can work two jobs and have every day be planned for...
OR, I can work one job and have free time.

Yes, I can work two jobs and have work be my excuse to get out of things...
OR, I can work one job and meet new people and try new things.

Well, the one job won out, and I officially quit LOFT! Now I will have time to have things like hobbies again. It's time to clean up the camera lenses and start taking pictures. It's time to pull out that list of to-be-read books and start crossing them off. It's time to start writing consistently!



Peace Out Loft
You've been the best long-term temporary job!
