Goodbye Chrysler...Hello Boots!

So...after much thought, I've decided to take a leave of absence from Chrysler. I just couldn't handle the stress of working there as a TPT right now. I'm in my third year at the University of Windsor and the work load has increased by like 150%! Plus I'm involved in this Volunteer Internship Program, where I have to volunteer 4 hours a week, plus do journals and presentations and stuff. It was really stressing me out working midnights at Chrysler. I haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep a night in weeks! I'm was having a really hard time adjusting, and I just didn't see it getting any easier.
Another major thing I had to think about was seeing my friends. I'm 21 years old, I'm supposed to be having the best time of my life. Yet I'm not...I never get to see my friends, and it makes me really sad. I feel like I'm missing out on so much. I want to be able to see my close friends before we all start moving away and getting jobs.
I know everyone's gonna think I'm a fool b/c the money is so good. But to tell you the truth...I don't need the money. I live at home, I don't pay for gas or a car, I have free tuition...I don't NEED the money right now. I've saved every penny I made this summer! True, I don't really have a job right now...I'm only working like 6 hours a week at the University Bookstore. So I'm just gonna have to spend less. But this is okay, I should be studying more anyway!
I really think this is the best decision I've made all year. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Definatly not stressed out anymore...so let's hope my hair stops falling out!
On the plus side...I get the job back in April for summer...so it's not like I completely quit. AND...my dad just agreeded to buy me new winter boots...I just got back from the mall a little while ago, and I got some pretty hot ones! |

| wow, no more than 4 hours of sleep a night?!?! I thought I had it bad with around 5-6 hours. I'm sure you won't regret your decision, you'll be too busy having fun. :) |

4 hrs of sleep a night is not healthy at all. Being sleeped and trying to do stuff makes you more prone to mistakes, esp. if you do stuff like driving, or other dangerous things.
Then again, I get cranky if I don't get 24hrs of sleep per day. |

YOU MY DEAR FRIEND LISA, are the FUNNIEST most hilarious and amusing girl I know!
YAY!! PLURR!!!
I so am happy for you... it really was getting to you and it's not like the money was a critical factor... it was just a fantastic opportunity (financially). But ya, you gotta factor in mental health, your general happiness, your friends (esp. since they could be departing in 1/2+ years), and last but NEVER least, UNI! :(
Ive recently *FINALLY* made a significant change in my life too and I feel GREAT for it... id been putting it off and off, I feel so much more content and less constantly mentally distressed bc i finally took the step and did it! Only onwards and upwards for us both I hope habibi!
You're the schiznick Lisa ;) (LOL, how oldskool was THAT! hahaha)
Be happy... im glad you made that choice for yourself! :) :D
You're awesome babe.

Also, boots. |

Mmmmmm....
On topic: This is great news and all, but I still don't see why you need to justify *your* decision to quit *your* job on a forum.
