What goes up ...

Well in another first for me I quit my job just now because I was making to much money. This morning I buckled under the pressure and asked how much I was getting payed. I was shocked by how much I was making. On one day were I was just trying out a few NLP things for fun I made $400 and this was without even really trying. Upon finding this out I asked a few more questions and found out that between my cut and my Company's cut the first year of a persons donations basically wouldn't get to the charity. If you really want to make an ongoing donation to charity do it on the charities website that way they get all he money.

Once I found this out I quit on the spot, I had no choice. I felt absolutely terrible about all the people that I had gotten to sign up and generally felt really shitty. I had mislead people, because I had got carried away and gone with the flow instead of doing some basic homework. I had convinced quite a few people to donate money under false pretenses. I'm not really sure what to do about this, so any advice you guys have is welcome.

Its interesting how easy I was flourishing here, I already had a (to) well payed job, friends and was well on my way to finding a girl. Strange how little this seems to matter, maybe I should be looking for something else? (again ideas welcome)

I've decided to fly to Brisbane to make the most of the sunny weather, and get a nice honest job like picking fruit or working in a bar.

I'll post a happy entry about something amusing as soon as it happens so this one isn't at the top for long.
