Friday, Jan. 11, marks a significant milestone at the Springer household. I (the matriarch) am unemployed! I ended my nearly six-year tenure with Buca di Beppo last week when I volunteered to be laid off as part of Buca's "reduction in force."
Although my job was not on the chopping block, my co-worker WAS about to get laid off. Anyone who knows me well also knows that I had fantasized about quitting my job for a long time. While I loved working at Buca - LOVED it - I love my kids more! I was constantly struggling to balance work and family, feeling guilty all the while that I wasn't able to spend more time with my yummy babes.
So, when I heard the layoffs were coming, I emailed my boss and volunteered to off myself. He accepted! And, my co-worker's job was spared - a pleasant side-effect.
I'm unemployed and DRUNK with joy. I will do some freelance work in order to keep me sharp (and keep food on the table!), but I'll have a lot more time to enjoy my precious Jack & Abby. What a great thing.
