I think I am going to quit my job. Working is so overrated, and who needs clothes and heat and food anyway?
Yes I'm going to do it. I am going to quit my job. I'm going to stay home, sit on the couch and watch my bottom spread with every bonbon I stuff in my mouth. I am going to become a Soap Opera Aficionado; the goto person who can tell you who Erica Kane is cheating on this week, and who is pregnant and doesn't know who the father is.
Yep, I'm cashing in on the 9-5 rat race. I'm turning in my commuter's pass. Shoving my business attire into the back of the closet. Gonna kick the 401k bucket. I didn't need a retirement nestegg. That's what social security is for.
Just think of all the free time I will have! I can repaint the spots on my cow collection. I can rearrange my pots and pans by size and color. I can make lava lamps with empty cranberry juice bottles, vegetable oil, and food coloring. The list of things I could do is endless.
No, wait, I've got it! I'm going to stay home and write in my blog. My blog doesn't care if I end every conversation with "Thank you for using blogger.com". My blogger doesn't have a thrombo if I'm 2.12 seconds late logging in after my break. And it certainly understands if I can't make the commute to the computer to blog because there was 32 inches of snow on the path from the bedroom to the living room where my computer is.
Yep, my blog respects me more than my job ever will.
That's the answer. I am going to quit my day job and work full time on my blog. I'm going to become a professional blogger. I'll make business cards and pass them out to all my friends. I'll even create a website dedicated to the art of blogging. I'll do chats and radio shows and magazine interviews. Yep,just you wait and see, I will be the blogger par extraordinaire.
I wonder if my blog has a generous healthcare package...
