Well, I did it! I gave notice today at my day job, so I can pursue my own work full time. It's scary, but I have been so unhappy at work for such a long time that it really feels like the right thing to do, even "in this economy" as the media is so fond of saying. The best part is that someone else quit yesterday too. Now there are 6 full time people, 4 of whom have the title "manager". Need I say more? No more complaining about the boss and annoying/lazy co-workers! No more relating to Dilbert! I'm free from the tyranny of petty office politics. Whatever time I waste on the internet is my own. Yay!

Fantastic! Congratulations on being your own boss. I fantasize about it constantly and it is inspiring to see that someone made it out of the rat race to do what they love! Best of luck! You will do great - you are so talented!
How awesome...I don't even know you, but I'm thinking it's so cool:. Can't wait to see what you create now that you've got more time. BTW, get used to people thinking you're sitting around all day..."What do you do all day???"
Congratulations!!!! Down with the Trolls!!!! :)

Hurrah for you! I'm just an ETSY buyer, but I LOVE reading all the great stories of people pursuing their FUN dreams, vs. dreaded day jobs!
Congrats on your continued success!

Congratulations, Sue!
I did the same about two years ago, and I am very happy with my decision. It is scary at first, but very liberating. I am sure you will love all the freedom and creativity time you will have now. Best of luck!
Congratulations - love the description of your office... As a non-manager I feel your pain.
Btw., your approach of PMC with concrete is awesome! Good luck to you.
