Meep - Thinking About Life Changes

[aelfgifu]

So I am thinking about quitting my job at the gym. I have thought about it off and on for a while now, but it is seeming like a good idea. When I first started working there it was for several different reasons. #1 I didn't get into grad school so Hank wanted me to get a job. #2 Hank wanted me to get a job there so he could get a free membership and my pro-deals. #3 It was an easy job to get and I knew everyone there. While I like what I am doing better than a lot of things I could be doing, it pays like shit. The bureaucracy is also creeping up on me, and I am getting annoyed about having to work too many weekends. I ended up not getting a free membership for Hank because I don't work enough hours, though I can sneak him in. I also barely ever use my pro-deals. I don't use the gym at clubsport very often, though I am doing roped climbs more often these days, but I could always buy the discounted flash passes when they are on sale. I also never go to the circuit anymore, but even if I was to go once a week it wouldn't be *that* bad money wise. I think I would be better off putting two days a week worth of effort into getting my artwork into galleries. I am never going to make it as an artist if I don't do that. Or I could spend that time teaching classes through park and rec which I would get paid for and not have to spend much money on gas to get to. The best solution would be if I staid on at Clubsport as a fencing instructor and could still use the gym for free, but that may be wishing for too much. Anyway, thinking, thinking, thinking... I will think about it for a few days before deciding for sure. :-P I feel bad because I like the people there, but it has never been my plan for a long term job.
