change

so how many times since joel and i moved here last september have i mentioned that i hate my job? i think that the answer is the number of times that i have blogged since my first day there. so, i put my notice in last monday. my last day is the 25th. now, i am all the sudden sad to be leaving. partially, it is because i will miss all the girls that work here. there have been kids that i did not know cared that much telling me they are upset that i am leaving. that makes me feel good.

the other reason is that i am terrified of change. so, i really really really want the job at way station. i am excited about the prospect of using my degree and getting out of the theater business. but i am terrified that i can not hack it. so terrified that i cant have faith. i remember a pastor saying once that having faith meant that if you prayed for rain to wear a raincoat and bring an umbrella. so i should just trust that God led me to get that degree for a reason and that he will let me use it. i should have faith that i will get the job wear i can actually make a difference in people's lives but no...i had to go and apply at the theaters in the area just in case. the problem is that if i get one i am not sure that i will have the strength to turn it down. it is safe. i already know how to do it and i know that i am good at it. what if i suck at the job at way station? in fact, i already feel like i have jinxed my chances just because i refused to have faith.

i never really thought that i was that scared of change. how do you get over the fear of change?

In the words of Bob Dylan, you "haven't known peace and quiet in so long [you] don't remember what it's like!"  Sad but true.  Boss after boss has led you around, using you for their nefarious purposes, and dumping you when the time was right.  You've hurt and been hurt and now you're just sick and tired.  When will people leave you alone and let you do your own thing?  But you don't really even know what you want anymore.
