    Default Leaving the B&M

    As most of you know, I started worked for the local B&M back in Feburary. It is an awesome job. I'm learning so much about cigars and customers and the cigar rep's take care of me . Unfortunitly, I've been unable to find a balance between B&M work and life outside of it. So, yesterday, I gave Mike at Bethesda Tobacco my 3 weeks notice.

    It can be very difficult to take a hobby and turn it into a career. I grew up loving computers, while my friends were partying in high school, I was usually messing around with some code, learning how things worked. It was fun. Fast forward 10 years later, I work as a full time software developer for a telecommunications company. I used to love coming home and writing a useful application of some kind. I can't do it anymore. It's just become way to monotonous to sit in front of a computer all the time. I don't like my hobby anymore.

    It was certainly one of my dream jobs and it was awesome.
