I just quit my job....

[Maniac]

Well thats that.

I just had enough. Been working 7 years for the same employer, and i just had enough today, good feeling i must say, been thinking about doing this for _so_ long time.

Well, 2 months and counting then i have no idea what im gonna be doing. Called 3 friends that have construction companys, and they say its no problem for me getting work from them. So it will be nice to work with old time friends for an change.

Well im pretty tired of the IT field as of now. But the market is booming. Im probably gonna get back into the IT field some time, but now im fed up with it, been working in the field since 1994.

Well. Finally i did it. Wish me luck.

Good luck man!

I know how you feel, I stayed at a place for nine years. I did my very best to make money for the company. From year 5 on they decided raises were only for only management. I hung on expecting them to do the right thing, after all we were making them a lot of money....... Pfft never happened.

 Last November I finnally found a job doing something completely different. Less hours way more money and much more satisfaction. The people I work with are fantastic. It's like night and day, I hope you have the same kind of luck.

[Xargos]

Good Luck.

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As Im a walking out the door.
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

congratulations on quitting.  go work for yourself that will be the only boss you'll ever have that will treat you right.

[JB88]

good luck man.

[Gunthr]

G'luck Maniac...

i was wondering if it wouldn't have been better to have another job in the bag before quitting the IT job?  or was there an incident that "broke the camel's back" so to speak?

anyway, where there's a will, there's a way.

What timing.  I just got laid off of my IT job this morning.  Been at it for a year and a half and then the executives decided the managed services division isn't worth keeping.

Lord, here I go again.

Have to warn you brother, i have seen friendships trashed through work.

WTG, Dude!

Bad employers DO NOT DESERVE good employees.

I  worked for a real JERK for three years...then said to heck with 'em and made a great decision....I'm going to be MY OWN BOSS!

Example:

Monday = $425 dollar day
Tuesday = $175 dollar day
Today = $526 dollar day

Tomorrow should be almost as good as today.

I hope your decision finds you awake before the alarm goes off because you love what you do!

Rock on!

WOOT!  Already had a job offer (slightly lower money) BUT at least I'll be back to 8-5 Mon-Fri instead of nights only now.  WOOT!

[Makarov9]

Lazy bum, get a job!

[Odee]

Good luck and grats on having the nads to do it.

Me... I'm planning on retiring next year.  Sooner if they offer a buy out.
