I'm fucking sad, you guys...

Commissions are OPEN
If you are interested in commissioning me, come drop me a line! Let's see what we can make together! https://forms.gle/rWtK2fLXYUkNzPvo8 So I just told my boss that I’ll probably be working here in the library for only a couple more months.
There’s a place where a friend of mine works where he teaches drunk people how to paint simple paintings, and if you’re only assisting the artist, you make $13 per hour, and if you’re the artist, you make $15. Obviously this is more than I’m making, or else I wouldn’t even go for the job because HEY social anxiety. It’s actually a hell of a lot more than I’m making, and if I were to work the same hours there that I’m working here in the library, I’m making about double what I currently do. On top of that, this job could serve as my internship, which would be a HUGE worry off my shoulders because everyone in my school needs to have a 90 hour minimum internship to graduate. ON TOP OF THAT, I’d be doing a huge number of paintings that could go into my portfolio. The location is even perfect, as it’s literally right down the road from where I live, once it actually opens in a couple of months.
The downside of all of it, though, is that I’d have to resign from the library. I legit start feeling weepy when I think of leaving this job because it’s amazing. I feel important here, like I make a difference, because I know for a fact that I’m one of three people that people go to for information around here. On top of that, my boss right now is the best boss I’ve ever had. She goes so far out of her way, taking on extra work, extra hours, extra everything to make sure that her employees are happy and healthy. I’ve never had a better boss. Every other job I’ve had, when I left, I was so fucking happy to leave. With this one? I know I’m going to cry.
So on one hand, I have this list of upsides about doing this painting job, but then I have this one MASSIVE downside that I’ll be leaving the best job I’ve ever had.
When I told my boss about it, she just got really sad and said that today was the Mondayest Tuesday she’s had in a long time and I wanted to fucking cry because I really felt like I’d hurt her. But, she did say that she understood how good it would be for me, and that she’d be more than happy if I used her as a reference.
