Yip. Grew some balls and used my honed talents to become self-employed; not gonna lie, it's pretty rough at first. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without a safety-net and well-padded alcohol budget.
If I could go back, I'd probably ween in to it instead of quitting the day job, outright. Although, I'm not the type to get stuff done unless there's a fire under my ass. So there's that.

Same story, definitely a more gradual transition would work better. It never occurred to me that I was basically starting again on the bottom rung of the ladder and the income was going to be pretty awful for a long time....

Too much punctuation is your problem. Commas overlapping; semicolons, it's! like reading Kirk speak.

I guess I could ignore proper spelling conventions for the sake of succinctness but then the problem would arise that I do in fact know how to spell correctly and it annoys me when others don't so in this case I'll just stick to my guns and do it anyway since the alternative would be to dumb down the spelling to an elementary school level and that's just not something I'm willing to do since I get enough of that shit dealing with people in real life so there
evened out enough for you?
