Watching Another Door Open
So, I wanted to quit my job by Halloween, but I just didn't know how we'd make up the lost income. This whole impasse with DM at work really got my hubby's wheels spinning and got him to act on something he's talked about ever since we met. If I look back, I can see how things have manifested themselves to get us to this positive point.
I sell things on Ebay on a regular basis. I do this whenver my closets are bursting, causing me to trim down on junk we accumulate over time. Every year before the holidays, I sell old stuff to make room and money for new. I weed out toys and clothes, old things we never use, games we don't play and stuff that generally takes up space. I really hate stuff. I'm a minimalist.
So, we are launching our own business. I've always flirted with the idea of selling year round and the hubby has finally agreed. I've already purchased somethings to resell, stuff I know, fertility stuff. I have the knowledge and the resources. We also have a garage full of crap we don't need and tons of clothes none of us fit anymore.
I told the EXA yesterday (second in command) that I hate to be so stubborn, but I refuse to pay another doctor out of pocket for a note that basically says the same thing as the first, but in different words. It didn't make sense to spend almost all of what I make at my $8.00 an hour job to satisfy DM. I told her if anything this has caused me to expidite plans I've already had. She said, "well, you gotta do what you gotta do- that I understand". She asked that I call DM on Monday and I agreed.
I'll work with the Employee Relations person and if it gets resolved, great. I'll work out my shifts on the schedule, but put in my notice. If not, then I'll just move on. (and maybe as a customer, complain as much as I can about DM cause I'm mean like that)
Mostly, I'm excited to have earning potential again, instead of dead-endedness. I can do what I love doing how I want to do it and my husband is 100% on board, ready to take the risks, ready to take it as far as it can go. And if you are going to start selling things, this is the time of year to do it. Holiday bargains rock!
We are on our way to setting up a corporation with a line of business credit. Thankfully, we also have a jumping off point as well. Its all coming together!
