I quit my job
My paid job, that is. My highly coveted WAH while SAH job (that paid peanuts while slowly sucking the life out of me). Now I won't have any excuse for not vacuuming!
I still have the 24/7 unpaid job, of course. 
Re: I quit my job
but you'll still google how much my stuff it worth so if my house burns I can tell if my insurance is screwing me right? right?
Enjoy your new life!
Absolutely! I'm sure you're a high-end client. I peg you as a Neiman Marcus kind of girl.
I went back-and-forth on this decision a long time. I had been working there 2-1/2 years. If the job requirements hadn't changed over time, I'd probably still be doing it.
The biggest problem was that I was no longer able to work a little bit here and there throughout the day like I had when I first started. I had to be able to dedicate a large chunk of time to work which I was only able to do after DH and DD went to bed, so I'd be up late into the night working.
The last straw was last month when they implemented a punitive pay structure for people who made a certain kind of mistake. I don't normally make those mistakes (I think I may have done it once or twice in 2-1/2 years) but I'm not perfect and it rubbed me the wrong way that I could potentially lose nearly a week's worth of pay for one mistake.
I'll miss having the paycheck but it won't make or break us. DH can always pick up more OT at work if he needs to and he can make in one day of OT what I earned in a month at this job.
If I could have figured it out, there have been days that I would have done it! LOL
No one knows how to push your buttons better than your own kids. Seriously.
I remember you talking about that at the mall. Luckily, I can get most of mine done during DD's morning nap and then if there are a lot I can slowly do the rest throughout the day. We have penalties and they suck, but since I got a new boss she isn't as dock happy as the other one. A month ago I was ready to quit, but last week alone I made $500 which is more than I've made a month in a long time. So, now I'm greedy again :P That's just more spending money hehe It does stink when it's pocket money though and it causes more grief than it's worth! Enjoy your freedom
