Quit my day job

i hate my job. it brings me no joy and i’ve zero motivation to keep going. i’m stuck here until i find another job to replace it. this also makes me feel guilty coming to work and not giving it 100%. i want this to end…

i hate my job. it brings me no joy, no happiness, no fulfillment. it makes me miserable, and i spend most of my days daydreaming about over-the-top ways to quit.

I still work there two days a week, and am taking classes online towards an illustration degree and attempting to freelance. It’s a little of a financial struggle but completely and totally worth it. I feel like I own my life again.

But I Love taking photographs way more!

I want to be my own boss, make my own rules, keep my own schedule and do my own thing. I want to serve new customers, fulfill their needs, schedule photoshoots around their time tables and capture their portraits in a way only I can.!

It took five years of working toward it, but finally making enough writing combined with wife’s job to do it full time. Kicks ass, but you definitely have to stay on yourself about setting schedules and keeping motivated.

I think this is going to happen soon. I cannot take it anymore. I hope that freelancing will bring in enough money to pay my rent, I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Although I had decided to give my notice next Friday, today I quit spontaneously. I just couldn’t wait another day, let alone 5!

I haven’t quit yet but I am on my way to getting myself in a position where I can. I would love to just never go back but I do need the money, and I need to use it as a reference. My boss is the biggest jerk I’ve ever met and everytime I think about how hard I work to put out a good product for him while I’m poor as hell it makes me want to throw up. If I just keep that mindset it won’t be too long until I’m out of there.

I didn’t quit. I was laid off, but I didn’t get another job and I work for myself now. It’s wonderful.

Every time something happens at work that I don’t like I smile. Bring it on. It’s fueling my goal to quit.
