With Hopes I have not Royally screwed up..

I quit my job.

I made a few mistakes along the way...

For one thing, I quit it very abruptly. I did put away savings, but I did not put in 2 weeks notice, as I would have preferred to. By doing this, I have most likely lost a few contacts, as well as a decent reference. Why did I not give 2 weeks notice? My management has a history of sending people home when they do so.

For two, the only real thing I have lined up is freelance design gigs. Of course, I can now expand my search and include other agency jobs, but the fact remains that with the economy the way it is, it is going to be difficult.

In the end, things tend to work out, and I hope that this decision will turn out better than it feels. If anything, I can at least work on the composites I've been meaning to...
