in my 12+ year in the work force the one thing i find to be the only truth is the best way to move upward is to move onward to another place....

I'm going to try to get something set up for Monday. I'll call in and say I have a case of the Mondays and cannot come into work.

I know if I give notice, I'll get fired, so I will milk it for a week. I hope this goes well if I even get my foot in the door.

And Zate/Joe...it is PWC. You should know who that is.

I wouldn't take the whole day off. Just say you need the morning to take care of some things. Taking a bunch of days off is a surefire way to get shitcanned.

Well, today was an interesting day. I got up early to go over to my mom's house to send my resume to all sorts of places, too many to even remember. Being satisfied and in an abnormally good mood, I head off to work. I get to work, log in and check my mail. Leafing past all of the usual junk I get, I happen apon an email that I recieved while I was out of the office yesterday. This email was not from my supervisor, but from another team's supervisor. Basically, it stated that she was going to pull me into some meeting with a big wig and chew me out and try to get me kicked off of the specialized team I am with. This bitch has been trying to do this to me for a long time with no apparant motivation whatsoever. I do my job and don't do anything to anyone. My team supervisor is out until next Thursday, so I realized I was fucked. Not wanting to get fired, I collected my belongings, put them into my backpack, placed my badge on my desk and took off.

So there it is, I quit. I know I shouldn't have quit without another job lined up, but I had this sneaking suspision that I was going to get fired today anyway due to my lack of backup. I have 2 more paychecks coming to me and enough to get by for at least 3 months worth of manditory expenses.

Fuck fuck fuck. Back to the job hunt.
