Gave my notice yesterday

February 25th is my last day in corporate America. No longer will I have to receive e-mails telling me to remain positive and productive despite the fact that they're taking away benefits and any security I may have thought I had. When they take awaythose things (not that I've ever felt security from an employer), why work for someone else?

I'm going to be a full time biker chick. I have a bunch of classes lined up and am starting to heavily promote t-shirt quilts and related items, and maybe I can get the online magazine to a point where I can either get someone to publish it or make money somehow. I took off a month earlier than planned to write my book, so there's that too.

I'm free! Almost...

That's a big step and I wish you all the best. I'm sure you'll do great.

Good luck. I hope it all works out for you.

You'll never know if you don't try.
Good Luck!!!

Best of Luck to ya>>> It's a big step, but one I'm sure you'll enjoy in all respects... Peace!!!

You got a lotta jam, good for you. I wished I had half your nerve. You'll be allright, that can do spirit will carry the day but good luck and best wishes anyway and you get to do what you like...

Well if ya ever get down Wichita Falls way you know the wife and I got a bed and Breakfast for ya Good Luck

Sounds like the right thing - so don't slow down to look back. Best of luck to you. Ya got a lot of us here pulling for you, so don't forget that if you need a hand-up during this new journey.

I'll be real glad to buy a few first run editions of your upcoming book!

:cheers:

You guys are the best!

I'm sure most people think I'm nuts for leaving a job in this economy, but they're going for their second round of layoffs now. Everything is changing, and I can't continue to sit around and fret that things aren't working out like I want them to. Between the wreck, which I was so lucky to be so slightly injured, and the guy I knew getting killed in November, I can't allow myself to continue to be manipulated by the man.

Who knows what the future will bring for anyone? I keep reading quotes about freedom and risk-taking and fighting for what you believe in. The time has come! I need to do this before I'm too old. :roflmao:

Gotta love this girl... She is strong as all hell out and doing what she believes in.... I love that!!!

Old

Your never to Old, Just some times you need a kick in the ass to get you moving, Have a great day and keep moving, you'll get there.

Good luck Abby. Hope to see you out there on the road. Put me down for a copy of that book when you finish it. Just looked at your magazine...I think it is great and should be a hit. Just sent the link to my wife. I know she'll like it, too. Besides here on Bike-talk, how are you getting it out there to readers? Sure hope you can get it producing for you. You've got a lot of writing talent (technical talent, as well), hoping you can maintain the freedom (time to write) to exploit it.

I did something similar to you Abby. I quit my job in February of 2002 and moved into my cousins house in northern CA. I had been living near Detroit for 7 years and was hating life. I quit the best paying job I've ever had, but I just couldn't stand it anymore.

Before I left I bought a new GMC truck and loaded up the HD (that was already paid for) and left. Everyone didn't think I would do it and called me crazy but when the day came to say goodbye they all wished they could do the same thing.

I got to my cousins house and set up the computer to look for a new job and then the Enron scandle hit and the economy took another dump. I didn't start my new job until July and I am still with them. It was all worth it.

The best of luck to you.
