Reply #18: I've had 3 office jobs. [View All]

[Buddyblazon]

Was fired from one after 3 months for being a Colorado cynic in L.A..

The next job I had forced me to quit. They would never fire anybody. Just make it as miserable as possible for them. Then getting unemployment was next to impossible. So I walked out at the most possible inconvenient time for my department.

AND I realized that I needed to figure out how to make money without being in an office. Corporate life made me miserable. It's SO highschool. Competence and drive have nothing to do with advancing in most corporate environments.

So now I have two seasonal jobs. Concert production during the summers. And signed memorabilia during the rest of the year. I am making more money, quickly became the regional manager and traveling training for the memorabilia job...and I don't spend one minute inside a cubicle.

Shit man...the more I think about (and after reading your other thread)...this is GREAT news! This is a gift. You're one lucky person. They made the decision for you. You needed to make it, but couldn't. You were miserable and now you can finally close that crappy chapter.

Congratulations! You should be partying like a Kennedy tonight!
