heh - example of LOA in action - true story!
I hated my job. It really wasn't a good fit. But, I too had the fear thing going. I don't know what yours is exactly but mine went like this - single woman, self-supporting, need the paycheck while I look for something else - don't know what I want to do next...
So while I'm thinking like this, I make a decision (a very smart decision) to go back to school. Negotiate part time hours at my job to work around school schedule. Still don't want to be there but need the income for the time being. So I think I can tough it out...
Started school. Got laid off - the very next day. The universe kindly (and quickly!) delivered on my heartfelt desire to be out of that job!
And then delivered enough free lance work to keep me in more money than I would have made at the part time job I hated.
