Unemployment

Sorry that it has been a while since posting. I've been pretty down on myself lately and didn't think anyone cared about me or my blogs, so thank you my "English fan club" for support. So, I did it. I actually quit my job. I never thought I would do it. We had a team meeting today, and my supervisor told us that she was moving to a different project, and gave us a big speech about how she felt bad for leaving, but needed to go to the other project to learn what she needed to so she could advance her career or something on those lines. Her last day was going to be on Tuesday. Some of what she said I could see in my own life. This was the right time, and it was important to move on to 'gain knowledge.' It sounds pretty cheesy when I write it down, but it was now or never. So I went and talked to her and explained the situation. She was understanding and said that today could be my last day, and I didn't need to wait the customary three days. Looking back on the day I'm very much in shock. I can't believe I did it. Now I am very scared for everything to come, and I have my doubts. Can we make it financially, will I actually finish this time, and enjoy it when I do. I've got a lot of support here and over seas, so I know I can do it. I'm just scared. Tuesday morning I'm going to register for school, and hopefully start in a week or so. We're having car issues and need to get it fixed before I start school, but in the mean time while I'm sitting on my butt at home(YAY), I'm going to go over all the stuff I learned as a refresher course so I'm ready to start again..anyway I'm rambling...more to come

I only can say well done !! Sometimes you have to take a big step into the right direction to get where you want to go. Quitting a job and go into the unknown is very scary, but I think you have made the right choice. Keep us posted. Now a message from your partens in law, could you e-mail them both, they do have problem with going on your website reading your articles, they are not very skilled with computers and would love regular e-mails and update from you both. Hope you both are fine with this.
