should i quit my day job?
here’s the story, morning glory.
right now i work about 80-90 hours a week. i am an acting intern at an amazing local equity theatre, but, like many theatre internships, get paid a very small stipend that one cannot possibly live on.
so i have a full-time, 9-5 job on top of my commitment at the theatre. it’s really a great job. i have benefits (HEALTH INSURANCE, YOU GUYS!), paid time off, and a fairly flexible work schedule.
but with constantly working, i feel so personally and creatively drained. i’m disgustingly out of shape, not ready for upcoming auditions for Real Acting Jobs, and altogether miserable.
so i have the money saved to pay off my rent through the rest of my lease. (june.) i could pay off my rent, quit my day job, and just take up a little PT job at a coffee shop or something. i’ll be making way less money, but i won’t be wasting my money on:
1. constantly eating out because i have absolutely no time to cook whatsoever. (i waste so much fucking money doing this but right now i have no choice. UGH!)
2. gas for my hellish commute on I-75 M-F.
3. stupid secret santa presents for coworkers (okay yeah.)
am i insane or is this a good idea?
