Re: Why I would quit my job if I won the Big One
So now that I've quit my job and have the time to go hiking in Zion for a few weeks, visit Italy with my Dad and see our distant relatives, spend more time with my pseudo-family here in LA, I guess the biggest sin would be going on a bender like I did Mon. night, rendering me basically worthless until right now.
All my life I've never not wanted a job because I knew the alternative was undiscliplined sloth. At the moment I have the option of taking my old-old job back. Lots of considerations and implications there. I know if I continue to work my ass off at poker, like I have been for the most part, and don't let the other aspects of my life slip into a holding pattern, I can do this. But that's a couple big 'if's. I feel like this moment is basically ground zero as to whether or not I have the self-reliance to live a worthwhile, less-ordinary life w/o the gentle guiding hand of mother-job-boss.
So interesting that your post came along at this precise moment.
