We read that in my English class the other day and for some reason I was totally entranced by it. It's just so true. Life is just a series of sucking, but to end it requires the use of things which suck to a higher degree, so you may as well stick it out, ya know? I dunno why I put that in here. It just hit me a special way.

I came to a critical decision last night. I'm going back to school super-duper full time. 18 hours, the maximum number possible. It'll help me get done about a year earlier. Of course, that meant having to find the balls to quit my job.

Tough one there. I've been at this place for 4 years. My mom got me that job as a summer filing gig, and then when they figured out that I wasn't as dumb as I looked, I guess they decided to utilize me. And I've been acquiring more and more work. And up until a few months ago, I kind of enjoyed it.

But all of the people who didn't suck monkey balls there (except my mom) have gone and taken jobs elsewhere, leaving me with an office full of the rarest breeds of bitch you can find. I'm so tired of the drama and dreading work every day because of them.

The two things which weighed heavily on my decision were Mom and Jonathan. Like I said, my mom got me that job. We work together, right across the hall, it's very comfortable. And as for Jonathan, that's where we met! I love working for the same company as my husband. We meet up when he's done and drive to daycare together to pick up the baby. I don't know, it sounds cheesy, but it's been such a solid foundation in our relationship that I'm going to miss it.

But still, I know what's best, and I turned in my notice today. One month exactly and I'm done with being the Accounts Payable clerk for a beer distributor and take on the role of full-time student.

This oughtta be interesting.
