theonlyski 3 #1 November 6, 2012 Got the offer in writing today, quite a bit more money that I was expecting... Start December 3rd. Put in a 3 week notice shortly after accepting the offer. Hopefully they don't shit can me before then, but it won't make much difference to me. The pile of papers is growing on my desk... Hopefully by the 29th I will have enough to throw in the air and say 'fuck this shit' and leave this hell hole. It's a good day!"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 3 #6 November 6, 2012 Quote Congrats! Feels great knowing you have a better opportunity and an end is in sight to the torture! That it does! It will be almost a full year (just a few weeks shy) since I was laid off from my last 'real' job. Been working for the unemployment office. Not a big fan.

It did not *seem* to affect their future prospects. Karma doesn't always get you back... But hey... Rather safe than sorry.
