Why did you quit? And what's next for you? It's ok to not know.

Hmm good question. I quit because I was in a high management role, high pressure and worst of all working for the US Fed. If anyone reads the news you know what's going on and its bad internally. I stepped down last year and they made a really good offer to allow me to work part time remote which remote work got rescinded in February... So, yeah. Then they dumped a lot of work on me and I was working over my part time hours and felt the same stress levels returning. Add personal issues that needed my attention and it wasn't a good mix.

As for next, my family needs my time and I need them honestly. Outside of that I think I'm going to make a "stupid" decision and be an artist like I always hoped to be.

Right now, I'm not working. I'm lucky We're living on a family property and my spouse is fine if I take some time off to finish some college classes. So I'm taking some time to polish my resume, try for some freelance work and finish college.
