Winners Never Quit

I quit improv a week or two ago. Well, I quit the group I was in and I haven't been going to ComedyCity, so I am completely out of the scene. I simply can't handle improv right now, for a lot of reasons that extend beyond my comfort level of discussion for something that is broadcast on the internet. Just because I quit doesn't mean it's gone forever. It's like my English professor always said, dumping your significant other to focus on school: "It [sex] will still be there in May." I'll be doing Thunderdome 4 this summer, so I can't say that I have abandoned it completely. Just yet. We'll see.
Last Monday, I quit my job. Unlike improv, I have to replace it if I want to you know, eat. I've accepted a position as a writer / editor / web marketer, which will be a nice change of pace from technical writing. I hope that this will open new doors for me. I enjoy technical writing, but the job market isn't spectacular, especially for permanent positions. I've really wanted to get into writing for the web. Oh, did I mention that I may get to write about lingerie? And children's toys, handbags, mace, watches... it won't get old. I hope it works out. Dear lord, switching jobs in this economy isn't a fantastic idea, but it had to be done. Layoff talk, my contract status - it was very unstable. Let's hope this gamble pays out big time.

And for tonight, I have quit stuffing and mailing wedding invitations because my fingers are dry. That wedding is soon.

Yes, lots of changes. Most of which I believe in.

Caroline-
I knew you and others were just getting started at ComedyCity, so I'm bummed to hear I won't get to play with you.

I feel your pain, though. I know you have your own reasons, but I've had plenty of moments where I've just thought, "screw it".

As you mention, improv will still be there if you want it!
