I quit my past job of 3 years two and a half months ago. I can definitely say I was living to work. I was working so much and enduring a CONSTANT changing schedule that it was taking a mental and physical toll on my health. When I was off work I was so tired that I didnt have the energy to do anything. Now i'm taking things in a new direction with a whole different perspective.
