Why I’m quitting my job:
\n I am fairly ambivalent about the job.
\n It doesn’t pay me much
\n I’ve been feeling mismanaged
\n I have no commitment to my current job or career path
\n Recent stupid management trick was the straw
\n In short, not worth putting up with<\/p>\n
Why I’m going to san francisco:
\n Far better dating possibilities
\n Lots of friends, new and old, fewer of whom will be graduating & moving any time soon
\n Better public transportation (excellent in sf itself, crappy in da burbs, of course)
\n Like the coast, the parks, etc
\n Like the neighborhoods.
\n Tuition discount (~$11k) should I get into my first choice university
\n I’d probably have to move anyway, given lack of long-term reliable roomie.
\n (in short, I like the area, and expect to have fun there, even on a tight budget
\n & I’m not making another long term locational commitment to a place I expect to not like)<\/p>\n
Concerns & responses:
\n Health Insurance?
\n COBRA for the few months it should take me to find a job
\n Can I afford it?
\n I have two paychecks coming. Then there’s my $1kish tax return and $400 housing
\n deposit. With all this, I can afford a few frugal months, including COBRA, food,
\n shelter, cell phone contract (can’t terminate without huge fees), student loan, debt
\n consolidation loan, transportation, and a very modest entertainment budget (library will
\n be my friend)
\n Friends?
\n I will miss those in the burgh, and enjoy those in sf. I will continue to visit
\n occasionally, when I have $$
\n Job?
\n Register with a temp agency after the first week of very active job hunting, continue
\n job hunting after that, and network socially and through volunteering
\n A life without stuff?
\n I rarely spend much time at home these days, so basically, I get by with what I carry
\n around, and I’ve been carrying around less these days. I will miss the ready access to
\n my books, and a reliably net-connected computer that is definitively mine (and
\n dvorak-ized), but books, videos, etc, I can get from the library (net access too), and
\n I’ll probably take my laptop with (yay, pcmcia modem). <\/p>\n
Please to be shooting holes in my plan, so I can patch them. Resignation (effective July 26th) already tendered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
