I quit my job today, and I have no plan

Not even like a part of a plan

I do have a "I'm going to take all of my money, fly to south america, live in a thatched-roof loft above a bar on the beach," sort of fantasy plan.

I imagine the reality involves more sand in uncomfortable places, and probably ends with me getting drunk at the bar and drowning one night, and less smoking cigars and meeting interesting adventurers and having one night stands until I die of liver failure-cum-STIs.

But nothing is perfect

This is how I will see you in my mind from this point forward.

Good for you, man. I know it was sucking the life out of you for a while now.

Thank you. Thanks.

I'm not freaking out.

I think I will freak out. I even think I should be freaking out.

But I'm like...

I feel pretty good

You can freak out when it is time to freak out. It's not time yet. Enjoy your respite!

It's like an extended, unpaid vacation.

I hope that you manage to find a job or at least something makes you happy because you definitely deserve it.

Good for you! I hope you can take some time to destress before you have to start job hunting.

I could probably live 3 months on savings if I was crazy enough to do so

Which I might be



Hm

Nice! I am proud of you, and I am confident that this will lead to something great. I seem to remember seeing anotehr post like this when I got back from Wyoming that I just didn't respond to... lots of changes 'round here. I wish you the best of luck.

I hated it so much. Two weeks from now is going to be nice.

I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't follow your example, really. Turn in my 2 weeks, pack everything up, and find somewhere else to start over.

Come work with me at the bar!

So what would a Halforums version of "Cheers" be named?

Minotaur Penis.

Come open a bar in the town my parents live in. It's going quickly and there are no bars yet. You'd be the only game in town which should also be the bars name.

It has to be tropical. I want like... humid and heat or hurricanes basically[DOUBLEPOST=1400630792][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, frequented by bikini-clad

Actually right now I'd just take plentiful scotch and cigars

Flora-bama bar and lounge. Plenty of sand, heat, humidity, with occasional hurricanes thrown in for flavour.

As someone that unwillingly left his job last year, I had the same realization, that I could comfortably live off my savings for about three months. Plenty of time, right?

That three turned into seven months.

I'm not saying don't take a much needed break and decompress. I'm just saying that freefall is much more relaxing once you've found the ripcord.
