Well, I did it.

I quit The Best Temp Job Ever. (It hasn't really been The Best for quite some time, and when I get guilt over not being more loyal to them, I only have to think of the four jobs I applied for in the department and didn't get -- including the one I've been temping for this past month -- and I get over it quicklike.)

I need to look after my health and my energy levels lately, and having three jobs isn't conducive to that, even if all three jobs are part-time. The two remaining jobs have in their favor, as well, that they can be done in the comfort of my own beloved home.

Tomorrow, I finish this manuscript and start on the next one. I'm relieved and happy. I could have used the money, but the stress and fatigue are not worth it.

I hear you.

No guilt

If they wanted loyalty, they should have offered it: in the form of a permanent position with benefits. No matter how good a temp job is, the employer is explicitly offering you neither loyalty nor permanence.

Sounds like an excellent decision.

Yay for taking good care of you!

Funny how temp jobs can be in that way. Enjoy being your own boss!

Choosing your change is good.

They should be ashamed of themselves not hiring you for any of the jobs you applied for.

May lots of freelancing money roll in your direction.
