the news
I quit my job and took a new one. I was finding it very stressful and unpleasant to try and juggle
  • the full time, high responsibility, many evenings required nonprofit job
  • two classes of not difficult but annonyingly time consuming library school
  • the part time job to make ends meet.
  • real life. including trying to have a baby with Jen.
So a full time job at Kaplan presented itself, with slightly more money, a schedule that is much more flexible, a responsibility level that is much more appropriate relative to me pursing school and trying to make connections and move ahead in library land, and I actually love teaching for them, so...I took it. And I'm excited. But things have been a little awkward at work of course. Not least because a lot of people have left from my dept in the last 2 years. But everyone had their reasons. And I have mine, and I think my boss is trying to appreciate that, even if she really really really hates it at the same time.

I am super impressed... I have another friend who also recently quit her fulltime day job to focus more on things that are more meaningful to her, and with the flexibility to work on her art. I totally applaud your move--it sounds perfect. I mean, more money, more time, and more applicable to how you want your life to be!

Maybe the pre-baby will sense the change and decide to happen now in your new, happy, better scheduled life! Best of luck with the whole shebang :)
