Today is the day!

[Cheesefood]

I have a written and signed letter of resignation sitting on my desk. I turn it in this afternoon, thereby setting the countdown for my last day at this company.

 

[rdwj]

Cool! Hope the new gig works out well for ya

 

[Cheesefood]

Yeah, me too.

 

[Brewiz]

What's next??

 

[Cheesefood]

What's next??

A great job with a great company 3 miles from home.

 

[Brewiz]

Can't beat that!! Good Luck!

That started a few weeks ago. Like when the CTO pulled me in his office and threatened to fire me because I said something that he perceived as a fat joke at his expense. My response was something like "Look, I'm sorry you're sensitive about your appearance." I wasn't whimpering. He threatened firing me and I just said "Do what you think it right. Do what you need to do."

If I get fired, there's a better chance for a severance package. And since he's not my boss, I don't exactly burn the reference relationship.

With any luck, I'll be putting the same letter on my boss's desk within a few weeks......waiting on a 50% raise, but double the commute, job opportunity. *Fingers crossed!!*

 

[Toilet Rocker]

Damn, Cheese, I pretty ******* jealous...congrats!

 

[Orpheus]

Congrats Cheese!

Take this job and shove it,
I ain't workin' here no more!

Hey cheese, I know the freedom that you are feeling right now. I'm really happy for you. Here is something fun for your last day. Bring that fat jack ass a double quarter pounder with cheese extra value meal (supersized), place it on his desk and tell him "no hard feelings"!

Yeah, it'll go great with the heart attack he had last year (from being grossly obese. We're talking about 350lbs and probably under 6 feet tall).

just roll the bitch.




...as for not burning your bridges, sometimes it is nice to leave them a little scorched but crossable!!!

Just talked to the boss. He's cool with it and wasn't exactly surprised. He did let me know what my raise would have been, and it would have put me $700 more than I'm going to make. But then factor in gas savings and a bonus three times more than my bonus this year. Then there's the time savings: 400+ hours per year spent driving will go down to 30+ hours.

One less piece of stress in my life now. That's homebrew worthy.

Congrats! On to bigger and better beers, I mean, jobs!

A great job with a great company 3 miles from home.

It's hard to beat a 3 mile commute. I had one once. It was great. I also had a 1.8 mile commute. It took me 5 minutes to get to work, but that was in an apartment while inbetween houses. Now it's 30 minutes when I'm in town.

Just think of the extra brew time you'll have now.

Good luck in the new year! Maybe they will cut you loose sooner.

 

[fiddup_is_a_middup]

Congrats man. Hope everything works out

Short commutes are worth a lot. My last house in California wasn't all that wonderful, but it was in the middle of Silicon Valley & regardless of where I was working, I had a reverse commute.

Fat guys can make fat jokes.

As a result of working here, I've gained 50 pounds. I'm looking forward to being able to ride my bike to work and drop a few pounds along the way.

well either that, or all the good beer your making.

 

[Cheesefood]

Short commutes are great. But, I'd rather live out in the country and telecommute to work.

That's a bit too lonely for me. I need interaction. I need to be able to talk to people every day. That's one reason I'm quitting - too much time spent by myself.

 

[Cheesefood]

Today is my last day. In about 2 hours, I'm unemployed (for the weekend).

Did you remember to bring the portly gentleman a supersized extra value meal for lunch today?

John

 

[user 574]

Kind of a cool feeling eh? Like a big load off your chest as you got no strains from the current job and you have none from the future job yet either. Just excitement for the unknown. How long did you work for the place your leaving?

Reminds me when I left MKE and drove down here w/o the family (they had to sell the house 1st). Not a care to be had as I cruised cross country in my little BMW. Then I saw that sign for the border an contemplated everything else... almost kept going . I need a career change.

I brought that up to one of my friends who works for him. He thought that I'd get punched in the face for doing so. I was actually hoping for that because, well, when a top level senior manager commits battery, the victim gets PAID.

But they brought in Portillos for us all today. And for any of you who don't know what Portillos is (probably most of you), I can assure you it's more tempting than any burger.

(OK, I'll explain it. Portillos is a form of crack found mainly in Chicago. It comes in the form of hot dogs, burgers, polish sausage, and Italian Beef Sandwiches (which are crack-coated crack served with a crack crust and smothered in crack sauce, with a side of crack)).

And if you're not lucky enough to be near the windy city, you can order yours here.

P.S. Congrats Cheese.

 

[ill.literate]

Portillos rocks!

Glad we have one not far from work and home.

 

[Rhoobarb]

Wow, today is the last day! Very cool; I know you're looking forward to the change. And when the weather turns better, you might even be able to walk to work! That'll help drop that extra 50! I used to be able to do that when I lived in Lincoln Park. Man, those were the days. But I digress...

Good luck in the new position. Pop open a few beers and have a great, unemployed weekend!

BTW, was this your old boss?:

 

[Orpheus]

Congrats Cheese!

Get nice and blitzed this weekend to celebrate! I know how you feel about the interaction piece. I'd go nuts if I wasn't surrounded by great people at work. Luckily I am, so I'm not going anywhere for a while.
