quitting......

ok, so my daughter is on the phone with her birthmother(b.m.) for their weekly talk......and it is clear that said birthmother has quit yet another job.........sounds like another one of those you can't fire me because i quit moments........well....i talk like i know....but i don't.......i am very slow to give up on lost causes.........the only job i ever really walked away from was my first...at the bowling alley in mt gilead when i was 17...my friend christy was quitting....and when the boss asked if i was quitting as well.....i figured....yeah. why not?......i didn't like flipping burgers..........i worked at my last 2 jobs 18 years and 4 years respectively......and plan to work in my current position until....the cows come home or i can afford to slink away fully funded.........whichever comes first.........but does this make any sense...in the long run....does staying in one place for security purposes inspite of misery make any sense.....i don't know exactly why this latest job has been vacated by the b.m........doesn't tend to take much, as i recall......but then again.......isn't there something to be said for cutting one's losses early on and moving on to better pastures without hesitation or delay........i cannot say for myself......such choioces are completely against my nature........but i cannot fault those who make impetuous moves, especially if they succeed at some point to say.....' i told you i could do better than that........'
