>As discerning readers have noticed, I have been extremely unhappy with my job. Crappy company, crappy project, crappy boss. This morning I quit. Like most of us I am scared of the unknown but it feels so good to shed this job. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. For longer than I care to remember I have hated that job within two steps out of bed every morning.

>What's next? No idea. The market is not exactly crawling with FoxPro jobs and that is the only thing I have demonstrable skills for. It's going to be a radical change. But hey, in every catastrophe there is opportunity, right? My two closest coworders said the same thing: this is an opportunity. And I am looking at it that way.

My last job had the nice side to it - telecommuting. Most of the rest was, well, not enough to hate it, far from that, but not rewarding either. At least it outlasted the other jobs.

Now that I'm forced to be independent, I actually like it. I have the time. I'm finally dusting my old framework and bringing it up to speed. I've even been to the beach. The money isn't too great as it is, could do better, but my expenses have gone down (read: two daughters graduated, no more tuitions and lodging for them).

And we even get to see the beach :).

I wish you good luck and to find something to do that you'll enjoy.
