I submitted my resignation letter today. After two years of working I am finally calling it quits. I remember two years ago I was so ecstatic to land a homebased job. When I started working I cried many many tears before finally becoming comfortable with my job as a transcriber. It has helped us in our finances when we needed it but it also took a lot of time away from my son. Yes, having a homebased job is as tough as going to the office to work. You’re physically here with your family but mentally and emotionally you’re absent because you have to concentrate on your work.
Now that I’m having our second child I have decided that it’s time to move on. It doesn’t mean that I’m ungrateful for my job but I think I have reached the point where I have to move on. Back then I accepted this job because I had no experience in working online but two years later I’m now a different person. Yes, I have acquired some knowledge that I could use in a new online job but this one is a lot flexible in terms of schedule. I’m also keeping my fingers crossed that this will pay more compared to my previous one.
So right now I’m enjoying time with my son. I owe it to him after being “absent” for two years. I want us to spend quality and quantity time together before his new sibling arrives. I want to reassure him that I love him even though we’re having a new addition in our family. I’m also working hard as ever but this time around I can choose to stop when I want to and I’m doing just that. Leaving my job was hard but now that I finally did it it’s such a relief for me. I feel that I made the right choice.
