tl;dr - I'll be back in April. :thumb:
I haven't been around much recently and I've been quite complainy about my job situation when I have been here, so here's what's going on! I work full time at a boring desk job and I feel like I have no time to myself. Forty hours a week isn't horrible, but it takes me a couple of hours to get ready each morning (breakfast, shower, getting a lunch together), then I have to drive there, do my thing, drive back, and then I'm so stressed out that I can't do anything for the rest of the night besides chill out. I have the weekend, but Saturdays I'm usually over at my dad's house. So I have Sunday (today). 1 day out of 7. And yes there's this and that I could do to help the situation since a lot of people get through working a regular 40 hour week, but it's just killed all of my inspiration and creativity and I've been getting more and more irritated and depressed about it.
So I'm leaving! :D I've decided that April 4th is going to be my last day and I'm going to try to find a part time job (preferably with a very small number of hours) and try to do what I want to do, which is all my crafting stuff. I can make lotions and body soaps, jewelry, baskets, ceramics, and I know how to sew and repair things and it's all so relaxing, but I don't have the energy to do much more than sit and play games in my spare time because my brain is just dead. I haven't spoken to my manager at work yet because she went on vacation before I had decided that this was what I wanted to do and won't be back until Wednesday, but I do have a job interview tomorrow evening.
I'M FOLLOWING MY DREAM GUYS!!! Which I totally say in joking, but it's really quite true. I'm just done. I feel like I'm wasting my life at this company and the higher positions are salaried and they work more than forty hours a week most of the time, so I'm like uh-unh gurl ain't nobody got time for that! Life's too short to accept unhappiness. I had so much creativity and it's just... gone and I cried when I realized just how long I've been trudging along without it. :\
However, until April, I can't force myself to keep trying to read up on everything here. And my January Blues entry is as far as it's getting before the finish line because today would be my last day to work on it and I've been anxious about my decision all week and now I'm just drained beyond belief. I might stop by around March 8th (my birthday) because I have Wednesday - Sunday off for that and some free time might fly by my way, but other than that you probably won't see me very much!
Love you guys! :heart: I'll be back. ;3
