Fish guy is coming along ;-)
I just wanted to let you guys know: I QUIT!!!!!!! I QUIT MY JOB TODAY!!!!!!!!
My job has been making me miserable for quite some time now. Many times, I wanted to tell all to go to hell and leave.
I have my husband to thank for helping me keep level headed and make the move when I had another job lined up. So this is what I could not tell you guys. I had this other job lined up but got confirmation today. Better money, better position, more time out of the office. I think I will like it.
I think the lesson I have been learning always, day after day, is that in the end we hold our destinies. When not happy with a situation, WE need to change it. It is not always easy and I know it. Sometimes is just not possible, at that time. But we, and no one else, have the controls of our lives.
Thank you all for your support and friendship. It means the world to me!

First of all, I'm reading backwards, so I'm eager to see the post below with the fish evolution. I love the piece.
And three cheers and congratulations. You are so smart and so right to do what you did and strategically so you would be protected. Go, good husband! And wise YOU for listening to the advice. I've been walking a bit of that same journey as I anticipate retirement this year. All I can say is good for you and I'm so very happy you came to this point!
Oi Ana,
Sabe, desde que comecei a visitar seu blog sempre tive a impressão de que você não era feliz no trabalho, e lutava muito para tentar se enquadrar numa situação que a desagradava.
Fiquei muito feliz com a notícia! é preciso coragem para mudar e você teve!
Parabéns!
Bjs
Seu peixe está ficando lindo!
Congrats, Ana, on the new job! And on leaving the old one behind. I hope the new one brings better days for you :-)
I am so happy for your new beginning. We all need that from time to time. It keeps things fresh!
And your painting is really pretty, as always. I like the colors!

Congratulations! I've been busy with travel and house hunting and travel and life and blog reading has gone by the wayside almost...so I'm glad to visit you and find out you made this great decision. I wish you the best. And...Keep on with the fish! Wonderful!!!
I am SO HAPPY for you! Big hug and congratulations, Ana!! Woo hoo!
Congratulations! Hopefully, I'm next in line for a job opportunity.
Good Luck to you!
How Wonderful! May this new job fit like a glove. My Mom always said, "If you're not happy with something, then change it." And so you did. Good for you. :0)
Good for you for jumping ship to a better job! I hope you find life much better now.
Congratulations!!! This is just what I've been telling my girlfriend for YEARS -- she is regularly complaining/moaning/crying about how miserable she is at work, and yet she doesn't do anything concrete about changing the situation. You are so right -- our joy is in our own hands!
Bravo, Ana! It takes courage to make changes in our lives, but sometimes those changes are necessary. I hope it all turns out well for you! Congratulations on the new job. And how wonderful that you have such a loving and supportive partner.
great fish painting
Much congrats on taking control of your situation, and it sounds like you are going to be much happier, and paid more too! Hurray!!! Hugs all around!
Good luck, Ana, what a nice news! I am happy every time when something like that happens to others, hope you will like it there! The painting is just adorable, I wanted to ask the last post with unfinished work that already looked very good, whether it was done. Great job!
Yay! So happy for you starting a new adventure! I reached frustration a few years ago and quit. Life changing.

So happy for you Ana! You're absolutely right, if we're unhappy about a situation we should do something about it. I hope you're very happy in your new post.Good Luck!
Great news! life is too short for not listening your heart.
Ana, congratulations on a wise decision well made; I hope the change is all you could wish for and more.
Love the fish series and the Great Scot wandered by and fell in love with it also!
Excelente! Congrats! Não podia concordar mais com este texto. Best of luck for the new job! :)
Wonderful fish! And congratulations on you new job and a new beginning!

I'm very happy you have a new job, a lot of people go throw the same situation and just let themselves be there for more than they should. I hope you'll find greater confort and satisfaction in your new job, well done!
This is such great news!!! Life's to short to be unhappy at one's job isn't it?? Congrats on this new journey ahead :)
wonderful fresh start...
i love your watercolors...so very pretty. i was poking around a bit and really connected with your introvert/sensitive post. i am proud of you for remaining true to yourself...i had a similar break-through a few years ago. what a relief not to be fake :)
♥
Well done Ana!! You are so brave to take this step :) And you sure inspire me to, in the future, not settle in an unhappy working situation.
By the way, are you Brazilian or Portuguese? I noticed some of the comments are written in Portuguese :P
This is GREAT news, Ana!!!
How wonderful!!! And, yes, DO take some time off between jobs!!
New "positions" are always a good thing... ;oD

Congrats!! I am giving my notice on Friday, it is time. Be well! I wish I were as patient.
Wow! Congrats on quitting! :) It sounds like it's absolutely the right direction for you, from what you've said. Chase happiness! There's nothing better worth chasing! Love your fish painting too. He looks fabulous!

Yay for You Ana!!! Very true words ...I hope you LOVE your new position x
Congrats to you, sounds great!
Congratulations Ana I am all about happy, life is too short. It sounds like a very good move for you, you have a smart husband. Love the fishy B
I'm wishing you the very best! You'll do great my friend! You ARE amazing! Sweet hugs!
Hooray! Congrats!! I learned very early on that work doesn't love you back, and that it's better to take a risk than stay in a place that sucks the life out of you.
Congratulations on your new job. I really understand this situation Ana. When we are unhappy with our job/lifethe best thing to do is to get out of that situation.
Wishing you the best in all your new ventures. Love the fish painting.
Good for you Ana, it takes a lot of courage to make a big decision like the one you made.
Good luck on your new job! It sounds like a great new opportunity for you!
way to go my friend, life is to short to not change what we need to. So proud of you and the support of hubby. BTW love your fishie. xoxox
Congratulations, Ana! All the best in your new endeavors---may they be satisfying and rewarding.
Oh, wishing you very good luck in your new job ... around here there are no jobs ... my daughter's job was outsourced to Indian (a tech job in California) ten years ago and she's never recovered and I have to say not that she didn't put in a lot of effort ... I don't know what this all means, but we're waiting for the Universe to let us know ... anyway, I'm happy for you and let us know how it goes.
Love and Light,
Jan
Well done, Ana! And spring is the right time to make such momentous changes! And I do love Mr. fish!!
CONGRATULATIONS ANA! Such a bold, beautiful and wonderful move! xoxo
Congratulations on your brave move! Wishing you the best of luck in your new job!
Congrats on your decision and good luck with the new adventures. :)
Awesome! a hug
Congratulations on your breakthrough! Just visited your blog and your city for the first time today - and what an extraordinary day it was. Good luck in your new journey.
I do hope your new job will better than you can ever imagine. Good for you for being brave and making the change. Many people are too scared to change their circumstances and often they don't need to be. I am in a happy mood now. :)
I'm so happy for you and I wish you the kind of job you look forward to going to...and where they will treat you with appreciation and kindness. You deserve all kinds of joy, my friend. Happy Weekend! :)
oh my goodness.... congratulations! holy cow! i know, that change thing can be a little scary- but, you are right...we hold our own destiny. if you don't like it...change it.
ps- love your fish!!
Good for you ! :)
Wishing you success and happiness in your new job.
Good for you!
Wishing you the best in your new job xx
