As I sit here writing this blog, I started to wonder what to make of the future. I was at my last job for some 8 years. I put in my resignation on June 4th, 2009. Although it felt somewhat of a forced resignation, it was probably the best thing to do. My employers kept bugging me to focus on work, and not music. They wanted to know where I was going after hours, they told me to start getting a house, a car, and to settle down. They treated me bad, but praised me for the work. Doesn't make sense. It got to the point where I felt "guilty" for going to the bathroom. They always wanted to know where I was going, even on my breaks. I was miserable at my job. Grouchy going in and left work hating that place.
So now, I have no job. Just whats left of my 8 year run. Am I happy? Did I make the right decision?
I weigh out the differences. Making good money and be miserable, versus making next to nothing and be happy...
I choose life. I don't want to pass this life with "What if?"
I have mixed reactions with my decision. I upset some people with leaving my comfort zone, because I have disrupted theirs. So what's become with this new chapter in my life? Good or bad, all that I know is that the decision has been made. There is no turning back now.
I will continue to do what I love and work on the side to support it.
Welcome the new Chuck... nine days and breathing.
