What have I done?

I thought I could stick it out until October. I was wrong. On Thursday I'm putting in my notice. My run at the soul sucking call centre is over!

Ally and I talked about it this afternoon. I've been putting all thoughts of quitting because we can't really afford it. Ally sat me down this afternoon and convinced me we could get by for a little while without my paycheque. That the money wasn't worth my daily unhappiness. The case has been closed. We're not discussing it anymore.

I'm flooded with mixed emotions. I'm excited. I'm scared to death that I'll never find another job. I'm going to miss my coworkers but I know deep down that it is definitely time for me to move on.

Ally wants me to apply at the Gap. I'm thinking of going back to waitressing. My extensive customer service training has qualified me to do everything and yet doesn't really give me any concrete specialized experience.

You've only just heard the beginning of many unemployed rants to come.
