Just quit my job today...
« on: March 25, 2003, 03:45 PM »
I just quit my job today, and I feel kinda bummed about it.  I worked for Global Computer Supplies in computer sales (to corporate environments), and I had to quit because they don't treat their employees well at all.  It's such a long story, but I just don't feel like going into it right now.

If ANYONE here knows a company that's looking for a computer related technical (hands-on) or sales position please email me at crhoads@ameritech.net.  It must be in the Chicagoland area, because that's obviously where I'm from.

The worst part is that I don't have another job lined up.

...and hopefully you can still affort those Star Tours figures and Speeder Bikes I'm sending you tomorrow!   ;D

Just kidding Chris (sort of).  Sorry about the job, that's a bummer to hear.  How long had you been there?  I'm sure someone like yourself with such an impressive SW collection... uh, I mean job experience, should be able to land something new in no time!   :)

Best of luck in your upcoming job search...

Matt, don't worry about getting your money because I have plenty saved up, and my wife makes quite a large amount of money being the VP of her bank.           ;)

I already got one phone call from a company today about doing sales (something I'm trying to get away from), so that's at least a good start.  I'll keep everyone here posted as to what happens.

Well, that's all well and good, aside from the fact that it's not really football season, now is it?!   :D

I think what you were really trying to say, was:

[size=14]GO Lakers!!![/size][/shadow]

Close though...   ;)

Good luck, Chris. Glad to hear you've got a sugar momma to help in your transitional period.  ;D

Sounds like you'll be back in action in no time!

I tend to call her "Mommy Warbucks."

Good Luck with the job search Chris...sounds like you made the right choice though.  With a background in computers I would think you would be able to pick your next career path, my advice would be not to settle and pick the perfect job for you, especially with Momma Warbucks

My brother's fiancee is also a Chemical Engineer and he is a lowly Elementary School teacher, I keep teasing him about his sugar momma and he is very happy with the fact that he will be supported by her :P

We've been married now for just over two years, and currently we don't have any children.  But when we do have kids I'm going to be the at-home father and she'll continue working.  She works for an AWESOME company, had the perfect job, her company loves her to death, AND she's making great money.  There's no way she's going to leave there because of a baby.  And I can't wait to be the Mr. Mom some day next year (when we plan on trying to have our first child).
