One full-time job and a few temp positions came after that one. A few months later I attended an event at the old job and walked up to the director (the birdman) and thanked him.

When I was so stressed I needed a break, I could only call my best friend at the oddest hours. I spent the next four months resting, soul-searching, temping here and there and took a 2 week vacation.
