So, how's the job hunt coming?

Hating your job is one thing. Doing something about it quite another. Sure, I bitched about my last job, but I did the legwork to find something better.

Which is preferable to unemployment, being fired and not being able to make my house payments. Money and security isn't everything, I agree, but art, pleasure and satisfaction don't keep a roof over your head.

Being so cavalier about getting fired reads like avoidance behavior to me. You've talked of wanting to live deliberately, but seem willing to let joblessness happen to you. It's out of character for you to be so careless...
