Two days in to the new part-time gig I quit. It just wasn't right for me. Plus I can make the same amount freelancing in less amount of time. I was going to have to make like $10 and hour when I usually make $50. I felt bad about taking the job and then quitting, but I just knew that the environment wasn't right and it wasn't the right fit. After two jobs and 5 years of trying to rectify screwing up my career trajectory by taking a job that wasn't the right fit and then staying far too long after realizing it wasn't the right fit, I'm really touchy about that.

I have lots of interviews next week for full-time gigs. Most of them will require me to move. But that's okay. A move would probably be good. Get out of this town and away from the bad ju ju that is here.

I've been there too, seesaw. I've quit one job after two days, and another after 3, and have had a few others for 1 to six months. That was all in my late teens and early twenties but from it I learned that I shouldnt take anything that is offered to me like I was because I basically stay in denial about the position not being a good fit and take the job and it would go south quickly. Definitely not proud of it, as for me it was mostly out of weakness. However, I have stuck through jobs and schools through the long haul that weren't a right fit for me... And the result was much worse on my mental health and self esteem than during those times I did walk away.
Thanks for this!
