I recently took the final step in an important decision I have been thinking about for a long time. I turned in my resignation at Mankato Mortuary. This is probably one of the best and worst decisions I've ever made. It is stupid to be getting out before I get my license. It is stupid to be getting out in this economy. It is stupid to be getting out without another job already lined up. It is stupid to be getting out without more money in savings. It is good to get out for my sanity. It is good to get out for my physical and mental well-being. It is good to get out becasue the longer I wait, the harder it will be. It is good because it is right for me.
This decision was very hard. And I'm still not comfortble with it. I worry for myself a lot, but I know this is what I have to do because I will never be happy as a funeral director. Never. I will miss some coworkers and hope that they will want to stay in touch. Others will go unmissed, and I'm sure they are fine with that.
There is probably a lot more that I could say, but I don't think it is necessary. If you know me, you know that this was not an impulsive, spur of the moment deal. You know that I thought it through and found it to be the best thing for me. You know that it is right for me. And if you know anyone who's hiring, let me know. I need a job. Shit. I need a job.
On a different topic. You all failed misserably at suggesting songs for me to learn. Daniel and I recorded a new one. Again, it's not perfect. There are some mistakes, but I'll share it with you anyway. I'm playing the chords and he's playing the melody. It's a little CCR to go out on.

ReplyDeleteIf working at the mortuary was sucking too much happiness out of your life then you definitely made the right decision to resign
