sometimes i wonder what would happen if i just took my laptop, walked away from this job and never looked back.

what would really happen? i couldn't pay my rent. ok. but i could very nearly pay my rent and pick up some theatre shifts. i would let people down, ok i do that all of the time. fuck. this just feels so fucking hard and it doesn't seem like it should.

i was reading an article this morning in the oakland tribune's food section about this baker in berkeley who decorates wedding cakes while on b.a.r.t. it made me want to get off at the berkeley station, show up at her doorstep and offer a pint of blood to become her next apprentice. (one of my hidden talents and passions is making gourmet pâtisserie creations) seriously, i wanted to just drop everything... and go...

it is so very very tempting. and what of it if i did. i don't know. i am just feeling so not even in my body. and there is so much to do. some folks are going to come and help me tonight, but hell... don't know how i am going to get through it.

i struggled with that for a long while in a job that made me utterly miserable. it was to the point where some of my closest friends were intentionally avoiding me because i was such an intolerable bastard to be around. it took getting fired for change to occur; i wouldn't quit or walk away. it was a huge catalyst for massive and needed change in my life, but with that change came a lot of upheavel and unpleasantness. i guess my point is to have the courage to walk away when you have a choice, if you're not happy with your job and there are alternatives. it's not worth it to stick to it, if you're miserable. it's just a job.

thank you. part of the trouble is i already gave notice for aug 1. i just agreed to stick it through the event i am responsible for at the end of july. so i know i get to leave in about a month. but... well... you know what i am saying.

I'm probably going to sound retarded, but what is your job? lol. What is hurting you? Do the people suck? I know how maddening it is to be in crappy workplaces...I temped at an investment banking company in Princeton, NJ for 3 months and was surrounded daily by a gaggle of WASPS talking about men and babies. Ew!

no the people are good, when they are there. i work 2 jobs. one at the lgbt center as an assistant which is good but not challenging and frustrating in a bored way. the other i am a retreat coordinator for a siritual renewal retreat for folks with hiv. there is only me and my boss as staff and it is too big of a job for one person with no support and no direction being given. that is the basic problem. too much and so i procrastinate any of it and it just keeps getting bigger.
