Jobs’ll F*ck your Dreams

Don’t let them. 

Quitting my job is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done.  They treated me well, paid well, served beer in the cubicles, afforded some great travel opportunities such as Sweden, India, Hawaii, and Montgomery Alabama.  They also allowed me to wear flip flops to work if I wanted.  (Some people took the lack of dress code waaaay too far.)  I will miss this software company for all the right reasons….the people, the passion, the professionalism, and kicking Randy’s ass at ping pong. 

I can’t tell you how excited I am to step out into the world of travel and see what kind of trouble we can get in.  In the scheme of things, I guess it isn’t such a big deal, but I must reserve the right to worry about getting a job upon our return. 

Cindi and I were talking about me quitting my job yesterday and she said this:

“You’ll be back in the game by the time you are 29.”

Did she mean “game” as in my job?  I think this is bullshit.  This is proof how society has trained us to work all of our lives, live in debt of mortgages and credit cards, and drink lots of starbucks.

Several people have told us:

 ”You guys make it look easy.” 

They mean that we make it look easy to quit our jobs, sell everything we own (including cars we are upside down in), and travel around the world.  Well I am here to say that it is not easy…and it shouldn’t be.  It’s hard, really hard.  But I know in my heart that it will be worth the sacrifice.   Most people have the same response when we tell them about the trip. 

“Wow, you guys are brave.  I wish I could do that.” 

My new response is “No you don’t!”  If you want to do it…you can. 

Don’t be a sheep.
