No more working 9-5 for wages that barely cover the rent. No more after-hours emails, or last minute shift coverage. No…

My sister once told me I was too practical. In the middle of a fight she looked at me and told me that my problem was that I am too practical. It was the first time that I had ever been told that my practicality was a negative personality trait. I’ve always been referred to…
