I'm a big supporter of people who quit their jobs. That's not to say that I encourage people to fall back on whatever savings they've managed to scrape up during their times of employment, or be a total slacker, or live off other people's pockets. If their job has been sapping them of joy for a good part of their lives, I'd push as hard as hell to get them to pick themselves up and look for what will make them happy. If they've found new ways to make themselves happy with their job, good on them. If not, then I'll keep on pushing.

Take my sister as an example. In the past year, she's grown increasingly miserable about her job. I used to offer nice, friendly, supportive advice until recently, when I started telling her that soon she's going to be 40 and still stuck in that job and she'll be wondering where the hell her life went.

Happily, she's finally handed in her resignation letter Wednesday. Hopefully, better things will be trotting her way soon, because girl is talented and skilled and should not have had to endure seven annoying years in that company.

In other news, I just found out yesterday that my former boss thinks that one of my most proactive actions at work a few months ago offensive. See, there was this group of people I emailed to remind them that I need them to submit something to me, a task they've consistently failed to do so for months, in order for me to do my job. Former boss dude apparently doesn't read his email very well, because he thought the company's head honcho just heard about what I did, when I bloody well included her in my email to keep her in the loop. There was apparently some muttering from him about my "strong personality" that he doesn't approve of. Huh. That's the second time in my life that I've heard that having a strong personality is bad.
