For those that worked before optometry school, how much time did you leave between your last day at work and the start of classes? At first I was thinking one month would be fine, but now I'm thinking I should quit earlier.
I wish I could leave now. I feel a bit guilty every time a big project comes up and I never volunteer for it like I would in the past. What makes it worse is that I just got promoted. It's going to look like I put it on cruise control just because of the promotion, but I just don't want to commit to something that I can't complete. Ahh, who am I kidding. I am on cruise control and I am comfortably resting on my laurels - haha. I know, it's not very professional, but should I really take on the stress of big projects when I know that impressing these people doesn't have a huge impact on my future career? My thinking is that I am saving my energy for the next 4 years; 4 years that will have an impact on my future patients. Tiny ethical/moral dilemma.
