DAY JOBS

Like most people, I have a really shitty day job. When people ask me what i do, I usually tell them that I freelance as an arts & entertainment writer for this newspaper, or that magazine, because that's the work I like doing best. By day, I'm an editor at a really dumb magazine (that nobody reads, including myself) and that's all about home decor. It's a cushy job with a steady paycheck, but since I like my freelance work so much better, and couldn't care less about how to make your home's nooks more cozy, I've been thinking about quitting, and taking the risk of just living off of freelancing until I find another jobs with a magazine that I like better. It's certainly a scary leap—No health insurance. No security. No free color copier!!

But I recently heard that one of the biggest work myths is that it's better to have a job in order to find another. Debunking that myth, I say it's better to remain sane and keep the integrity of my work rather than stay in hell.

I could just offer my two weeks like a normal person, but when you work with hell's minions like I do, it makes you want to come up with something more creative, so I went to You Tube For inspiration and found this:



This guy below should have quit earlier than he did. He's got a bit of a chip:



This is the life I have to look forward to?:
