Well, I'm unemployed - by choice
I must be nuts, but I couldn't stand it anymore.

This is a small town too, and jobs are difficult to come by. This was one of the best paying ones around.

Oh well. What will be?

Just a little note out to the universe.

6. hehe - I remember
I quit a job...walked straight over to the Irish Heather, got a shot of Bushmill's, slammed it before I and my briefcase had sat down. I told the bartender, "I just quit my job."
He laughed so hard..

9. I gave him a good tip - on a job that just opened up
He was in advertising too....had just got over to Canada on a year work Visa from Ireland (Which is why he was working in a bar)

He said "I might phone that guy up"
I explained to him WHY I quit and he decided not to.

3. Been unemployed
since January 1 2004. After almost 7 months of job searching, I'm going back to school at the end of August.

Good luck!

4. Thanks!
I'm thinking about going for the elusive Master's degree finally, if I can get all the ducks in a row, or whatever the correct saying is.

11. Sometimes, I think when you take a chance like
that, the universe opens up for you and new things appear on the horizon. Just keep your eyes and ears open and stay optimistic.

Good Luck! And enjoy the summer! :)
