I really enjoy frozen yogurt and I quit my job.

Well. Here we are. CURVEBALL I'm unemployed.

This is the first time ever in the history of Ashlee that I have not had a job since I started working for Rogan's in June of 2006. This is also the first time in (you guessed it) the history of Ashlee that I have my personal life under control and my career slightly askew. By slightly askew, I mean I really don't have much of a career right now. 

If the only thing you know about me is what I post on my blog, I'd imagine you're pretty confused right now, yeah? TIME FOR A LIST! 

The Two Reasons I Left My Liberal Hippy Job:

1. It is IMPOSSIBLE to work 80 hours a week and still maintain a normal life. There are some really amazing people who can put their lives on hold to do this job, and I am in awe of them. However, I am not one of those people. I'm 22 (Taylor Swift gets me and I don't care who knows it) and I just moved to Chicago. I want a cat. I would like to see my family more than maybe once a month when I only live an hour away from them via Metra. I would like to see my boyfriend AND my other friends without having to choose.

2. Some organizations focus on quantity over quality with employees. I don't agree with that, morally. That's all I will say on that front.

There is obviously a lot more that went into that decision but out of respect for Grassroots Campaigns and the people that still work their asses off there, that is all I will disclose.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that I still believe Grassroots Campaigns was one of the best things that has happened to me. I met some of the most amazing and driven people that intend on being close friends with until the day I die. I said it before and I'll say it again, I would not have made it as far as I did had it not been for the amazing people that I worked with. 

Other Updates:

1) I live a 5 minute walk from Forever Yogurt. I really like Forever Yogurt. A lot. 

2) AmirKAT fixed all the problems. All it took was a strongly-worded letter written to him, the property owner, and the leasing company. Yup.

3) The boyfriend is still around. It's been a bit over 2 months. Look at us go! Except now he's on a camping trip and I'm slightly concerned for his life, but, you know, it'll be fine.

4) If anyone reading this blog thinks I'm great and has the ability to employ me and pay back my student loans, please for the love of god hire me. I promise I'm even more fun in person.
