What have I learned from this??? Oops!!!!

[vegibean]

That I still need to work on that dang impulse thing.

Jeez!!! I walked out of my job today. My boss is on vacation and one of the girls told me she talked to him and told me not to come in until Tuesday which is the day he'll be back in the office. Hmmmmm........my guess??? Can you say "job hunting skills?"

Getting a job isn't my concern so much as how long before I get the next one.

I have to say, NOT THE BRIGHTEST VEGI!!!!!!!

Progress not perfection, progress not perfection, progress not perfection...........ok!!

So I don't plan on letting it ruin my weekend. If anything, I've got all those new job postings to go through on Sunday, already posted my resume' up there on one site (YOU GO GIRL) and while I'm NOT doing much on Monday I can be picking my but up and out looking for a job.

So what's the moral of this story? Ummmmmmm..........give me a minute, I'm thinking

Dad gum. I was just thinking of you, wondering if that other chick was gone today. Twist of fate or something....

Well Vegi, are you sure that's it, firing you? Did you do something or is there just a slow-down in the work?
Oh well, hang in there, we're all here for you! Love from:

Who is your boss? What right did she have to tell you to go home? I hope this is a good thing for you. You sound positive about the situation. Good luck in the job hunt, don't give up and stay persistant. LOL

****I need an edit button!!!****

I left due to the fact that I've just taken way too much abuse from one of my fellow co-workers. I don't even know that I'm really DONE there but it's best to be prepared. I got to cover my butt, ya know??? Thank God it's not too big of a butt.

I was going to leave a post here saying 'please feel sorry for me as I told my boos to shove it too'. Seriously. I did it Wednesday. Since then I have alternated between having a conversation with him in my head and looking for another job!

I've a history of telling him to shove it then going back to work for him as I am too scared not too. I need the money and my faith is not too good in that department.

I am quite sure this is the last time I will be quitting and on Monday, I plan to boxing all his stuff up for him, send him my last invoice and say thanks but it's over. I work from home for him.

Our relationship has always resembled most BF/GF relationships I've had in the sense that every 2 or 3 months I loose the plot and spit the dummy.

I'm glad you posted, life goes on eh? Faith is fear that's said it prayers. I am glad I going to a meeting tomorrow too! And plan to ring my sponsor tonight. I'm sure she'll say, it's about time you left.

oh girls..... I worked 19 years for a job I HATED. I felt totally trapped. I was so stressed and depressed by the job that I had neither the perspective to see where else I could go, nor the energy or focus or hope to do what I needed to do to be able to give up that income. I used to subscribe to Dilbert by e-mail, to remind me that it wasn't just my organization that was psycho, it's the same everywhere. Well, maybe it's the same everywhere in the same kind of work, but -- well, that's what I mean, I didn't have the perspective to see.

Then all of a sudden they offered a buy-out, one year ago. I was only 40 but with so many years in, under the terms of the buy-out, I didn't have to think twice about leaving. Of course, the real estate market went blitz, and I haven't managed to sell my house yet, but then I got turned on to short-term vacation rentals. I can rent it for plenty enough to cover my mortgage and utilities. I think. That's the plan now, anyway.

And I will NOT go back to another office job! The plan? I'm learning to live cheap ... I want a little cabin somewhere in Appalachia, with a few dairy goats, chickens, veggie garden & fruit trees.

The moral of the story? God knew my weakness, and made it easy for me. BUT, now I see that if I'd taken a leap of faith, the ground would have come up to meet me. Being stuck in that job was like being stuck in an abusive, codependent marriage. From the inside it's all dark, limited options, confusion and despair, but once you step outside, detach, the whole world opens up.
