Now you've done it! You mean to tell me that you folks are not happy with a regular 9-5 job? What's wrong with working for someone and being dependent on a job? You mean to tell me that you do not crave to go back to work on a sunday night? Do you not curse the weekend because you're not at work?
Do you really think that there is life outside of the little boxes that we work in, some call them cubicles?
Bravo! Then I am with you :-) Best of luck and we're all cheering for you.

Default Yayy!!! Hooray!!!! Whoooo-hooo!
My soon-to-be-ex-boss hired a wonderful new person to take over my role here, and I have tentatively set April 15th as my last day (appropriate, as it has been taxing ). I am so excited and glad that the transition is so easy and fun, and that it is working out for the best for everyone involved.

Yayy!!! {handsprings}

That's AWESOME Angela! And since it's working out for the best don't you just feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Like, "Yep, See, it WAS supposed to happen exactly this way!"

Angela I am so jelous. I have been considering starting a Coaching business focused toward teens and college age people. I have no idea how to do it. I am fairly new to the forum so I am a little behind in the conversation.

Is there anywhere you went to learn this, is there a discussion on here to help me get started?

Congrats again. I will be earning an income on my own starting in August. I am a teacher and will not be returning to the school system unless it is my choice and not because I have to.

You're an awesome inspiration to me! What do you plan on pursuing now? I heard something about a website. Need some free non-ad hosting?

This begs the question of course, what's a life game?

Angela, how's it going? I assume it's been two weeks now since you've quit your job? How are you managing?
