About

Quit Your Day Job can be a misleading title for a blog, so before we get too far into this I want to say very clear that this blog will not show you the way to leave your day job or provide you with financial freedom. There are no doubt a million blogs that will give you advice on that, I can’t.

What you will find on this site are my thoughts on popular culture and stuff (stuff covers all manner of sins).

What the hell is with the title then?

The title of this blog comes from a Tenacious D song where Jack black suggests that you should quit your day job and practice your craft.

That’s what I did.

I had a day job working in a call centre. It was going to be a temporary thing whilst I paid some bills and stuff. Nearly two years later I called it quits. I decided to go back to web design, this time do it right and focus on the craft itself and not so much on where the next client is coming from. I’m writing and drawing/painting, generally being creative.

Well that worked out nicely for a little while but as it always does, money threw a spanner in the works and in order to buy art supplies and comics and dvds one needs a steady income.

So I went out and contracted and then have settled in a challenging and exciting role with the government to fill in my daylight hours and spend the rest of my time just doing my thing.

So who is Lee?

Well me, I suppose. I’m 32, vegetarian, diabetic, a science fiction freak, comic book geek, married to a wonderful woman who is very much the yin to my yang, we have one dog, one bird, and an extraordinary book and dvd library.

Just warning you that there are some pretty adult lyrics in this song, but I dig it:
