sorta felt like hyperventilating when i was writing it out, but now i feel very relaxed and light and relieved.  it hasn’t been a terrible job by any means (restaurant hostess/singer), and i am very grateful for the skills i’ve learned and the people i’ve met and befriended, but it is time to move on. i don’t have another job lined up yet, but i am incredibly privileged to have my family’s support and encouragement.

will i work in other restaurants? i hope so. but they will be locally-owned establishments with recipes made from scratch with local & organic ingredients and fabulous local wines, not big icky corporations that don’t give a hoot about their employees and don’t recycle.
