A lifestyle firm sounds like a good option - just make damn sure it actually is a lifestyle firm and not a sweatshop masquerading as a lifestyle firm for recruiting purposes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1168286445945708652007-01-08T15:00:00.000-05:002007-01-08T15:00:00.000-05:00Sparky - In addition to the brief honeymoon phase ...Sparky - In addition to the brief honeymoon phase there is also the two week winding down phase once you give notice at your old place AND a few weeks of vacation that I plan to take.

I do need to leave this corporate lifestyle, but I'm more comfortable at the moment with jumping to a 5 story building than ending up sprawled on the sidewalk bloodied and broken. I'm looking in to all options, but I think I've made progress to actually see how this jump could be a positive one. I'll keep you posted.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799238720510105530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1168277100606308532007-01-08T12:25:00.000-05:002007-01-08T12:25:00.000-05:00I'm liking this option.

Do you jump off 10 stories and take your chances? Or do you jump to the next building over, which is 5 stories, and see what the ground looks like from there? ;) This is still a leap, but it's less fraught with broken limbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1168275216416120992007-01-08T11:53:00.000-05:002007-01-08T11:53:00.000-05:00I don't know what the answer is, Buttercup, but I ...I don't know what the answer is, Buttercup, but I think it is clear that you cannot continue living this corporate lifestyle that is sucking the life out of you for much longer. I'm inclined to say "follow your bliss". Easier said than done, I know. But making room in your life for things that feed your soul and make you a happier person is important. I'm going to pray that God provides you with a job that you can feel passionate and alive in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
