I did it

[leighblack]

As of about a half hour ago, I'm no longer a B&N employee. Thanks for your support everyone! It'll be tight for a while, but something will work out. Sacrifices can always be made. I'm not all that worried.


Amazingly, I no longer feel sick. It's bad when the stress from your place of employment actually makes you ill.

I felt the SAME way about my part time job. The EXACT same way.

And for me, living without the money is definitely worth living without the stress.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just decided my sanity wasn't worth $400 a month.


Shots all around!!

Was it voluntary, or not voluntary?

*hugs*

I still love you.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Oh no. Completely voluntary.

Well, I wouldn't think you're that shallow as to dump me as a friend because we don't work together anymore. Love you too.

*hugs back*

Congrats! Glad you are happy with your decision.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And I am. Very happy.

[geneli4.livejournal.com]

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Yay! -snuggles- Your free at last, free at last!

lol...Thanks!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've always wondered why you were still there and when it was that you were going to finally quit! Good for you...and I actually think you said it best:

"Amazingly, I no longer feel sick. It's bad when the stress from your place of employment actually makes you ill."

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Welllll, I mean, I still liked it there. There was just a very specific problem and I couldn't handle it anymore.

But thanks. It was time.

Sin City on Friday night????? I MUST see it!

[dazeebean.livejournal.com]

Definitely! COunt me in!
Either 7:30, 9:35 or 10:15, I just hope it's not a "selling out" type movie??? We'll have to play it by ear...but I'll call you and keep you posted!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Oh, well I don't care about having to pay to get in, if need be. I just want to see it!!

Any of those times work for me. Call me tomorrow or whenever and let me know.

I am glad you are feeling better.
Damn, that sucks when you are sick of work like that.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

It does suck. I'm kind of upset about how it all worked out, but more happy that I'm no longer there.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm sure I will.

I know it had to be a tough decision to make, but like everyone else said, if it reduces your stress, then it's probably worth it.

Now granted, mine was my ONLY job and I didn't exactly have a choice, and I'm a lil stressed about where my money is going to come from, but I was actually kind of relieved to be fired from my job, if that makes any sense.

Though if I go much longer without any money, that stress will come back REALLY fast.

But enough about me...YAY FOR YOU! And if things DO get tight, I'm sure there's a part-time job out there that you'll love.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

I totally understand about being stressed and relieved all at the same time.

Thanks for the good wishes!

If it reduces your stress, it's worth the small hit in money. At least, that's my thought.

Glad you're feeling better. Keep feeling better, ya hear?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

That's my thought too. It's just not worth the money.

I will. Thanks!

Way to be brave and strong! Don't stay in a situation that makes you unhappy (as I have learned) Ok completely differnt situations but *cheers* nonetheless!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon!

*clinks glasses*

[hollyk.livejournal.com]

YES! You left the evil corporate bastards!

Congrats!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Ha! Thanks!!

[hollyk.livejournal.com]

Now, move over here to Cali and come work for me! We need experienced book folk.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

How about I only make one life-changing step today?? ;)

[hollyk.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good idea.

Best of luck to you, girlie. :)

It does feel good when you do something you don't necessarily want to do because it means potentially taking a financial hit, but it makes you saner in the long run. Peace of mind rules. Good for you for taking a stand, hon!!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dearie!
