So two weeks ago i put in my two week notice at my day/real job. I was serious about leaving but two weeks later, the sobering realization that i cannot give up the money has made me withdraw my resignation. It kind of really hurt me to do this, but as mom always said, "theres things in life you just dont wanna do but have to". So tomorrow is the first day of the days back that i never left from...if that makes any sense. My pride is wounded but there is a definite termination date and i even set a few terms.
I explained that having already given my two weeks notice, i will not have to give them again and can abruptly quit when i see fit and still expect glowing references. I also explained that i am currently still pursueing other jobs and if need be will be taking time off during work days for interviews. If by the end of October i still havent found a job that meets my criteria and lays parallel to my growth as a professional here in pittsburgh, i am moving. No more wheel spinning bullshit.
They agreed to all terms.
I felt compelled to ask for a raise but as all i really did was postpone my desertion of their little company by five weeks i didnt think it would be appropriate.
So now all i need is a combination of getting off my ass to send out more resumes and something to fall in my lap and i will be alright financially.
i smell a drug test in my future.

i never talk on the phone. it's weird to me to be able to hear someone's voice and not see their face. but maybe i'll drunk dial you or something, if i ever get around to getting drunk again.
