Remarkably painless.

I just applied for a job.
Cool.
Tomorrow I will apply for another.

I will miss being at the theater, but I think it's very important to stop now. It's not going to make me happy in ten years, just depressed and angsty. It's not going to bring in other rewards to make up for certain of its flaws.

Plus it's not as if I'm going to quit costuming qua costuming. Just as a career.

I nearly wrote that this is moot if I don't get a job. But it's not--because even if I have to be a Starbucks coffeegal, I will be somewhere other than the theater next fall.

Ya!

Go you!

You are wise for figuring out that this is not the job you want to be in, and that leaving the job doesn't mean you have to stop doing the joyful part of the work.

I think you are making a good choice for you. What have you applied for?

There's some open jobs at Longy... (http://www.longy.edu/job_opportunities.htm)

Good on the decision.
