Today, I quit my job

Actually, I'm not sure if that was a totally bad decision, considering that my job occasionally made me feel like faking a horrible accident that would get me out of work for multiple weeks, and my impending poverty is surely going to be slightly more fun (and more legal) than that.

But isn't "Today, I quit my job" an intriguing kick-off to a blog entitled "mostly bad decisions?" Also a bad decision: ending that previous sentence with ? and "". I never can remember the rule for which goes where.

So, yes, welcome to my blog, wherein you will see what happens when I quit my job to go back to school and quickly fall $35,000 into debt. No, I do not have any other jobs lined up. Yes, I am extremely concerned about that.

I've actually already made multiple bad decisions related to what I am going to chronicle in this blog, but I made the horrible decision to not write them down in a timely manner. In fact, I'm cheating just a little: I started school 5 weeks ago and made the decision to quit my job long before that.

Today, though, is the real start. The resignation is in, I just received my syllabus for my first real class (summer session doesn't REALLY count, does it?), and I am pretty much crapping my pants with terror over how I am going to feed myself.

And did I mention that I am taking a puppy on a multi-hour road trip to some remote campgrounds in about a week? Mostly bad decisions. I make those.
