change in life

[sublime]

so on monday my company is going to be sending out letters to us employess offering us a incentive laden package to get us to leave the company. based on my job title and my seniority i will be walking away with about 25K (half upon departure, the rest spread out monthly over couple of years) and 6 full months of benefits. now i dont dislike this particular job 'that' much, however i dont have any desire to move up and i find the day to day work quite mudane. also the current state of poker makes the move instantly more profitable per hour.

i do have worries of course, namely the future of online poker. i have seen some posts where people are saying enjoy the gravay train, the bots are coming yaadadadadada and others saying that they expect the games to be good for a long time. i am somewhere in the middle. fortunatly, the middle would be enough for me to live pretty well.

i also dont have much documented education, most of it was learned either on the streets or by reading books on my own. i was a pretty troublesome kid, and found school to be not only boring but also a hinderance to my fake tough guy lifestyle. as a result i dropped out before the 9th grade and never went back. i ended up taking my GED test once it was available to me and passed with extreme ease.

i dunno, somewhat scary move but i feel confident that even if things go horribly wrong that i made a decision to do something i wanted to do and will somehow have to start somewhere and build a carerr.
