I just gave two weeks' notice. Ask me anything.

[bertha katzenengel]

1. Yes, it was a huge risk, because I don't have anything else yet.

2. Yes, I feel relieved.

3. Yes, I am tempted to take the low road, but, even though I wouldn't be eligible for rehire, I will take the high road for the entire two weeks.

Any other questions?

[auntAgonist]

1. what was their reaction to you giving notice?

I'm really happy that you've chosen to do this btw! I hope you find just what you're looking for.

9. It's inconvenient, but not unexpected.

But I'm sad to go, for no other reason than that I like the HR director and a few of my cow-irkers. :( I'll miss them.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Good for you.

I am sure you will find a better opportunity!

:hi:

:hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

15. thanks, Sweetheart

:hug:

[Droopy]

3. Would you like some info on a career in trucking?

Good pay and truckers are in demand!

Seriously, I know you've had a tough time there and I'm happy that you feel relieved about moving on.

[bertha katzenengel]

11. Do you think a cat or two would stay in the cab?

;) Thanks, Droopy. You lift my heart. :pals:

[Crazy Dave]

17. Hey...there's an idea...

:think: Saw it in a movie once. Put some dirty kitty litter in your desk drawer before you walk out the door :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

30. Lots of truckers ride with dogs

so why not kitties? :)

Good luck & I hope you find a great job with a great working environment! :)

4. Happy for/with you!

I think sometimes a clean break is appropriate. Knowing we *must* forge ahead makes it easier. *I* think.


Strong move!

:applause:

[bertha katzenengel]

"strong move" - thanks, Dogtown!

:bounce:

[TZ]

5. Good luck.

At one of my jobs I gave a months notice with nothing lined up..I ended up being "offically" hired to a new job on my very last day of work.....Maybe something like this will happen...:hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

18. kismet

thanks!

[raccoon]

6. Best of luck to you, bertha! I remember you posting about what

arseholes these people were/are.


:hug: :hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

[SOteric]

7. Just one,

Where do you want this hug?

[bertha katzenengel]

12. all over, baby . . . all over

:bigfathug: :loveya:

[cwydro]

8. Did you find another job?

At any rate, I'm glad you feel good about it.

[bertha katzenengel]

13. not yet

And thank you -- I do!

[cwydro]

21. I know what it feels like

I had a great paying job over a year ago, which I hated beyond belief.

It took me several years to finally do it, but when I quit, I was so happy and relieved. I make less money now, but I actually look forward to going to work and find myself very contented with life. I sleep better too.

So good for you! And yeah, that last two weeks is a bitch.

[lizziegrace]

10. You're in my prayers Bertha

I hope the time between jobs is short.

:hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

14. thank you Lizzie!

Are things looking up on your end? You're always in my thoughts. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

27. In some ways yes, in others no.

There are somethings cooking but unfortunately everything seems to take too much time. ;)

It's also a holiday week. Everything slows down in early September.

:hug:

22. Are you looking for any job in the SOMD area?

Who knows, I might know people who know people...

[bertha katzenengel]

25. I'd love to work in SOMD, but doubt

that I could be paid enough. Still, what do you think you could point me toward?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. What's your field?

If it's too personal, you can always PM me.

[bertha katzenengel]

32. very basic: secretarial/admin asst

I have a varied background and can do almost anything in such a setting.
