Moving out of the comfort zone

The deed is done. I have finally carried out what I've been threatening to do for the past few years.

I have quit my job.

The usual flurry of questions start coming next. Have I found a job? What am I going to do next?

I, for one, am tempted to give the middle finger and say that's non of your forkin' bidness. But I will be civil.

Firstly, the reason why I left is I want to find time to do what I want to do instead of having to entertain the whims of my workaholic bosses, who sometimes can ask for information at the wierdest times.

Secondly, the insane amount of effort to rationalise and justify admin procedures is just too much. Finance Department is simply too scared of the AGC to employ their last ounces (if any) of common sense they have.

Lastly, I need to regain my sanity.

The feeling of insecurity does creep in. The job hunt had started way before but it would appear that the job market is going to be a challenge. As always, we keep plugging on and explore the avenues available.

I could use the break to rejuvenate myself and spend more time with my son. :)

If anyone has a job to offer, let's hear it.
