I honestly don't know, but I'm going to be at that point again soon. I just put in my resignation for a low paying but ridiculously easy job, not because I wanted to, but because my situation changed and now I'm being forced to relocate elsewhere. Yeah, I could stay local, but then the job isn't worth it anymore because I'm driving further (I calculated it, it's not worth it despite the benefits and how much I like the job). So now I get to pack up my shit, move, and start a-new. Usually when I leave a job I have mixed feelings of sadness and dread, knowing that I'll most likely never see or communicate with my co-workers ever again (the good ones that I like anyway) and the loss of the financial security net from the job itself. This time around it's sadness but not so much dread, in a way it can actually feel a little liberating to not have to work, to not be 'tied to the system' despite the fact that I'll have to return to work one way or another, I think for the time being I'm going to enjoy my final days at my current job and then take some time to enjoy life before I return to work right away, it's going to be hard finding another job that doesn't leave me feeling dead inside but I guess that's life for you.
