I've had it with my job. I'm tired of my boss thinking that she can just yell at/bully/curse her way into getting what she wants. I feel that a conflict is coming soon.
I also feel that I am ready to retire...or at the very least, I need to go on a serious vacation. And I'm not talking about a weekend away, or even a week away. I'm talking a full-scale, don't come looking for me excursion....at least a month.
The thing is, I've been working at least part time at almost every opportunity I've had since I was 14. When I wasn't working, I was actively looking for work (as my unemployed friends know, job-hunting is like a full time job in itself).
I kept putting it off for various reasons: no money, no time off from work, nobody to go with....but there will always be something holding me back. The odds of me finding a job that are going to let me take more than 2 weeks off at a time are slim to none. So here's my plan: I'm going to be spontaneous :-O. I'm going to finish this project at the end of this month, take the NJ bar at the end of July, figure out how to break my lease and then hand in my 2 weeks' notice. By September 1 (October 1 at the latest), I want to be on a plane to somewhere.
Hopefully, I would have been sworn in by then. I probably won't have a job waiting for me when I get back. I might even have to do the legal temp thing. It's risky, ballsy....and totally unlike me. I like it! Who's coming with me?!

Queen Bee's two cents:
God's child is a party pooper! Just kidding. That's the dose of reality I've been trying to avoid. I've made some advance payments on the loans, so I'm good until November....but....if worse comes to worse, I'll defer. What are they gonna do to me?!

Ananse's Web's two cents:
TELL HER! GD. Ro..... RO......Did you tell your mother this plan? I'm all for traveling and you know I would come with you in a second but we need to be a little bit more responsible. Are you moving back in with your mom? I think if your going to leave thats fine but you have to find another job first at least lined up for when you come back....
