What it feels like after quitting my job - Full Article It felt like the biggest sigh of relief that I was out of there. My mind was going crazy to even stay there for my last two weeks. I didn't even bother looking at my emails on my last day, but I made it through. I left after working for a company for four years. That took a lot of my years away from the more creative side of myself and into this independent person working a 9 to 5 job. I devoted my life to a working woman who just wanted to work for the rest of my life. It was almost as if I was going to die into that company.
