Thank you, to all of you who left a comment on the previous entry. I can't believe that I have left this space to collect two months' worth of dust (and probably toxic mould spores), and that you guys have stuck around despite my very long absence.
The biggest difference between the "me" then and the one now is probably that I'm much happier with my job, seeing as I finally upped and left the last one. Although it was certainly a long time coming, it was a considerably tough decision, one that I had to make in a matter of about a day. I was unsure at first, about whether to make the jump. I hated my job most of the time, but I had to admit that I had gotten comfortable there. I had lots of doubts about the new job. Going into something new and getting used to another office seemed like an arduous task.
I handed in my resignation letter the following day.
My heart was pounding the entire morning, and I felt like I was going to throw up on my boss when I said, "Um, I have something for you." But after I did, I felt an immense weight lifted off of me. They wished me the best of luck behind those phony smiles I knew all too well, and I was finally done with it. Taking into account Chinese New Year and the leave that I had left over, I only had to work about 2 of my 4 weeks' notice.
It's been slightly over a month since I started here. And I'm doing what I love: writing. I feel like I'm almost waiting to see if my long-time aspiration turns out to be different from what I expected, and I'm afraid that I'll realize it doesn't give me the same satisfaction as doing it for fun.
But well, it's a pretty nice waiting room so far.
