I resigned my job with the law firm today.
I resigned . . . one of the partners made me feel guilty about resigning (because two other people resigned too within this past week) . . . the other one I talked to told me that she loved me, she'd miss me, but that she wanted what was best for me over what was best for the firm. I'm more sad to leave her than anything and anyone else. She's wonderful and sweet and kind.
Now, what I'll be doing. It's not teaching as I said I wanted to do, but it's something that will bring me closer to that goal . . . and my long-held goal of writing the great American novel.
I'll be working as an attorney for the IRS going after tax dodgers on the civil side. I'll start work at the end of January. (I'm taking a couple of weeks off to decompress and get my life in order.) I will be working 15 minutes from my back door and I'll be off work every day by 4:00. I won't know what to do with myself!
I know that this is the answer to many prayers of many wonderful people -- my friends and family here and my own . . . and many of yours. And also a wonderful sign that the good vibes you non-praying folks have been sending out have not been in vain. All you guys on this board rock. :) All of you, even, and especially, those with whom I routinely debate.
Take care all, and thank you for the good thoughts and prayers. :)
