Have you ever just up and quit your job?
 
Without any kind of plan or idea of what the fuck you were gonna do next?

And I mean in adulthood, not some 16 year old "I wanted to get high with my friends" bullshit.

I'm talking about like a real job, where it just grates on your nerves too fucking long and you just reach a point where you don't give a fuck anymore, you'd rather weather the storm and see where the wind takes you than spend another minute working there..

Yep after about 7 years of managing for Taco Bell I had given my 2 weeks notice before..but supervisors changed and 1 had talked me into staying until they found a replacement...anyway I got tired of waiting..one morning I just phoned my assistant and told him to get to the store that I was never going back...LOL

MrIzzz 03-26-2004 10:26 PM

Yep me too. I was a "Sandwich Artist" back in the day, for 3 hours :) Skipped by McDonalds though.

In 1988 I discovered I was making more money at the weekends shooting naked woman than I did all day selling advertising.

GARBAGE-PAIL-KIDS 03-26-2004 10:41 PM

Yep I left my job just cause I didn't feel like it anymore.... aka Peter "Office Space" style.

cashman 03-26-2004 10:43 PM

No, I allways found a job first.

Easton 03-26-2004 10:43 PM

Herb Kornfield 03-26-2004 10:43 PM

I quit my job and with not much more than pocket money, hitch-hiked to London. I spent the first night in a railway station, but I was lucky enough to get a job the day after. About 3 years later I quit that too (although this time with an idea of what I was going to do next) and I haven't had a boss in close to 30 years.

BadBrad 03-26-2004 11:03 PM

Yup. Just quit a good ass System Admin position two weeks ago. Living off the savings I have and preying I find something else soon. Just bought a new car a few months ago too.


NOTE: Linux System Administrator with 7 years experience in the Internet Business for hire.

reynold 03-26-2004 11:08 PM

whatsoever, not yet and I hope that that time

Working on it. But I need the minimum of $2k/month just to pay my bills. Takes a bit to get going.

I once worked at Radio Shack. District Manager kept giving me shit about shaving, even though I shaved every morning. So, one day, she came in and told me that if I wasn't clean shaven the next time she came in, she would demote me to cleaning floors. I told her she should lead by example and shave her pussy. I was looking for work the next day.

loverboy 03-26-2004 11:14 PM

been there once and its good you have a penny at the bank. you'll never know when you'll get one... been working my butt out happily being the lord of your own company and just see to it you manage it properly. Save baby :thumbsup

born4porn 03-26-2004 11:17 PM

I have been lucky in that sense, never had a job I didn't enjoy. :glugglug

WebTitan 03-26-2004 11:19 PM

yup. worked as a mechnical engineer for about 3 years with this F'ed up company, making some decent $$ and one day just had enough of the BS from my boss. he said if you don't like it here, you can always quit...i left his office, packed a box and on the way out with it told him i took his advice...adios amigos! lol

Thanks. Your added.

Ironhorse 03-26-2004 11:27 PM

No, I usually like to give the employer some notice, after all I expect the same courtesy :2 cents:

chodadog 03-26-2004 11:29 PM

I worked as a telemarketer for a while. Goddamn. It's like you can feel your soul slipping away a little more every time you try to peddle some shitty wares to some poor unsuspecting sap. Used to work there with a mate of mine. We just turned to eachother one day and said fuck this, got up and left.

Most awful job ever.

Firehorse 03-26-2004 11:29 PM

When I was 18 I was working in a bank and running a computer hardware and software supply biz to the Government and Education Department/Schools. I was trying to win tenders in my lunch hour that were worth ten times my yearly salary. When I won exclusive tenders for the whole of the state that put everything into perspective and I quit my day job! :)

HS-Trixxxia 03-26-2004 11:32 PM

I was running a company that the owners decided to 'shut down' and was offered to go work at another company of theirs - but they were 'letting go' the 6 employees under me that put their heart & many overtime hours to make them 'mega money'. I told them no thanks. Been out of a job for about a year now, both my husband and myself (since we worked together). It's been tough with 2 kids, a house and a car - but it wouldn't have been right to go to take the job while the others were left out on the street. I'm fucked up, I know. :-)

Nbritte 03-26-2004 11:41 PM

Once, I had been working as an electrician for about 20 years and we were at a site where they needed a hps lite checked it was on top of a colume about 25 foot high and the guy in charge set up this one man lift with one outrigger (what holds it level) hangin off the side walk. He wanted me to go up and check the fixture and with the lift leaning I just told him that if he wanted to go up and have the lift fall out in a 4 lane road that was fine but I wasnt going to. He told me if I dont like they way they do things I could go home so I did that was 2 1/2 years ago

Head 03-26-2004 11:43 PM

Oh ya! About 5 or 6 times in my life!

ModelPerfect 03-27-2004 01:30 AM

I've never had a job.

Illicit 03-27-2004 01:30 AM

Nope, to responsible for that shit

pimplink 03-27-2004 03:27 AM

No. I never feel like it. I love my job.

About a few years back, I was driving to work one morning and kept driving because the weather was so nice, I had to see the ocean. Didn't bother calling in.
