This time next week I will be unemployed.
That sentence scares the pants off me and sends a rush of excitement through me all at the same time.
As I'm sure it does in any work environment, the news of my resignation spread through the office like wild fire, and soon after, I was faced with a number of questions from my colleagues, including the obvious -
"So, where are you going next?"
The thing is - I'm just not sure yet. My plan is sketchy at best.
I am met with many blank faces when I honestly admit the unknown.
And believe me - I would probably be a little too quick to judge if someone told me the same news with the same lack of conviction.
Because, let's face it - it is very rare for anyone to "simply" quit their job without a plan. Or a lotto windfall.
Since I have neither, let me be the first to admit that this was no simple decision.
I am still fighting my inner Logical Andie every single day. For a long time, she has been in charge around here. And she judges me more than anyone I know..
But my new plan is to have no plan.
I have had plans in the past, but these often come with expectations, and well, sometimes where there is expectation, there is disappointment.
The reasoning behind my decision to jump off the hamster wheel probably doesn't make sense to many people. But for once in my life, I have decided to leap into the unknown.
Wish me luck.
