Thank you otter, I appreciate the sentiment and advice.
I agree, its a good idea to take pleasure in minor achievements as baby steps, although people at cocktail parties certainly aren't as interested in it as I am either! ^_^ Although I would bet that most of them are no less stuck than us :)
After writing the post I decided to take a leap, so I quit my desk job and found a job waitressing. It pays less than what I make now, but I realized that if I can just make 5 dollars in tips an hour I would make up the difference between the 2 jobs and have extra leftover, and since I'm going to have more than 1 table an hour I'll actually be making more. Why didn't I just start waiting tables to begin with? :) So that is a consolation to get me started. I'm going to try to take small pleasures in the time being to help ready myself for the extra push I'm going to need to get started in school this fall and get back on track to doing something that I want to do…I'll just have to see where the first step takes me. ^_^
