I read the article Why I Told My Daughter to Quit Her Job by Holly Robinson and almost got teary-eyed. If it only came my way few days earlier, I would have made that giant leap. But my prayers are so loud that God heard it right away and gave me the answer I've been waiting for. And I realized that it isn't the right time to send out my CV and make those companies go gaga over me (LOL).

Everyday, my mom sees how I work hard and that day was the hardest in 1 year and 8 months. See saw how I struggle every single day to get out of bed to work. She saw how many lunches I skipped just to finish the requests I call. She saw how many times I get up earlier than my schedule just to start on requests that are due soon. She saw how many celebrations I missed for working on Saturdays and on some holidays. She heard every single rant I had. And she knew how badly I wanted to get a new job. 2 Saturdays ago, was one hell day for me at work. I received tons of requests and a huge leftover request from last night is like the cherry on top of an awful-tasting sundae. She finally said, "Magresign ka na nga." BOOM! That's the exact same thought I had in my head.

"Life is too short to be miserable for money," I told her finally. "Just quit. Take the barista job and figure out something else while you're making lattes."

I was almost ready to look for another job. But there's a part of me asking if it's really the best move. And just like old times, I prayed. Whenever I'm unsure, that's what I do coz I know He's never unsure and He always has the answer. He didn't fail me, He never did.

I had my performance review, and I now know that my efforts are recognized. I heard just nice words and that's enough for me to stay a little longer.
