How to Lose Your Job for 16 Months

Losing ones job is hard enough, but losing ones job by choice is harder.

Thursday was payday.  Fifteen days ago was also payday.  If it wasn't the long lines in the ATM, I would not have noticed these two important dates.  Two months ago, I submitted my resignation letter.  I wasn't fired, I wasn't threatened of being retrenched, I had a good boss, I had flexible time, but I resigned nonetheless.  Quitting my job wasn't a simple decision, it was a choice.  It was a matter of prioritizing and focus. Since it was more of a conviction rather than forced by circumstance, I knew I had to stand up for it.
