After 7 years in a dead-end office job I realized I had had enough of the daily rat race. Getting up at the crack of dawn, the long commute, unreasonable bosses, killer deadlines and all the office drama was just wearing on my life. I was fed up! I feel a little ill just thinking back on those days. I resigned without any real backup plan for how I was going to support myself, all I knew was my job was killing me and I had to get out of there quick.
