spankerellaI have a bit of a dilemma. I really don't want to go to my almost former job tonight. It will be awful. I'll have to do the work of two people and likely no one will help me. I am considering walking out today. It's a crap job, and I'll likely never go back, but I don't quite have my new job yet. Also, I would really like to go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
orion777's birthday dinner tonight. I am feeling a lot of pressure from my friends to walk out and go to dinner, but what if I don't get the new job? I'm 99.99% sure I do have it, but... see? Dilemma. In the past, I would have just walked. I've always been the free as a bird type. Rash, brash, and ready to clash. It's just... egads... I'm an adult now. I have bills.
And I just might do it anyway. It's stupid and crazy and not at all responsible. And I think maybe I want to prove I'm still who I have always been. It's foolish. I've done it before, walked out that is, and I have paid the price in the past. But I want to be that girl again. Not the paying part. I want to be grinning while I hand over keys and swipe cards and uniform shirt and say... "You can tacky up prom on your own because I quit."
And if anyone can tell me what that quote is from, I'll give you a little prize.

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day,while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the director of nursing became aware of Edna's heroic act, she considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindness. The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with the belt to his robe right after you saved him. I am sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

| Oh, yes, somehow you made it. Did you cheat? I hope not. Sophocles is reported to have said, "I would prefer even to fail with honor than to win by cheating." Meh, I'll trust you this time. Anyway, I hope you've had a good time. |
