Surprise, surprise.

As you can tell, I've been doing some sort of Doomy Doom Doom thing about work and schedules and my life.

Today I sat down and finally did my end-of-year eBay totals.

*blinks*

Even though I was only home about six/seven months this year, I made more than at my day job. About a third more, in fact.

*blinks again*

I think I can quit my day job now. I think I'm about to entirely change my life.

(I'll wait until after I get home from AZ, of course.)

ETA: Just so that you know--I don't have health insurance, sick time, or vacation time. I am strictly contingent at my job, and I only work two or three days a week (when I'm in MI).

I've been slowly but surely starting to understand eBay, and even though I have several doomy thoughts, I'm starting to realize that it's worth it to have more time at home to work on it. It's going to be really hard to stop working my little part time job--but in the end, the expenses of working there (gas and buying lunch) and the long drive and lunch hour mean that it would actually give me lots of time and it wouldn't be as big a hit as I thought it would be to stop working there.

Plus, I'm not certain how long they're going to stay in business, honestly.
