Well I do. After having to sit next to and listen to my female manager degrade and put down everyone who worked, supplied and bought from us, then watch her hissy fits turn into screaming, ranting tear filled tantrums. One of the happiest times I remember was telling her I'm no longer wish to put up with her and resigned.
A giant weight on my shoulders evaporated. I could hear the birds again as they sung there wake up calls and smell the roses in the garden on the way to a new enjoyable job.
It was the best thing that's happened to me since I met Tracey 25 years ago, and I tell you each day she hangs around and puts up with me is another happy occasion.
They say change is as good as a holiday. Well I've told my new employer that change is as good as a holiday and right now I'm still on holidays. I sure she likes my attitud. Every day you wake up alive is a good day.

It doesn't have to be spectacular. I remember a time when I needed a couple of bucks for petrol and was completely broke. The rent was paid and there was food in the cupboards but I had spent everything I had doing that. The petrol gauge was just about on empty and a close friend needed an urgent lift to the other side of town and was completely distraught. I had to pull over and comfort her and chose a convenient spot along a long stretch of road wondering how the hell I was going to get her there. When I opened the car door the first thing I saw was a five dollar bill on the ground. Back then that was enough to take us about 90 miles.

That was a happy moment for both of us.

Isn't it eye opening that some things you don't want to do end up being OK and then sometimes being good? I hope it turns out GREAT.

Oh! and as far as lurve goes. Just remember, some times the five dollar bill is in the right place at the right time for the right purpose.

Legalised theft by renaming it fees.

Well the hands on the clock are all pointing straight up. I'll say goodnight. Thanks for the opportunity to ask a question. It was fun.

In Edmonton where I grew up, there was a homeless guy that would walk into a bank every fall and demand a loony ($1 coin

) from the teller, after the teller gave him the coin he would go sit outside and wait for the police to come pick him up for his 6 month stay in the heated jail

The last time he pulled this the teller gave him a dollar from her own pocket and he left as always to wait to be picked up by the first patrol car that came. He waited for a half an hour and got concerned that the police weren't coming, so he went back into the bank and demanded more money, this time the bank manager called the police, he was picked up again. This homeless gentleman lived on the streets of Edmonton for more than 20 years and spent his last days in the city lock up, he was happy, he had food and friendly company.

The moral of the story is that no matter how bad it gets there's always a solution if you think about it.

g'night, mark

@geoff: yeah, it seems so. my parents have always thought of me as the idealistic one (thus, their conclusion is that i'm immature and that i haven't really seen 'reality' yet. well, i've seen it and want no part of it), and thus they're so over-protective of me. i don't think i'm that idealistic, but yeah, it's kind of what is holding me back from going into the finance industry. i don't want to become part of the system. it's like organized crime. i don't think i would ever have peace of mind. i just want to be able to earn enough to live comfortably and read. i don't know why my parents have a hard time understanding that.

@mortis: ooh, must have been a nice jail

Be assured that this won't help you.

The lack of belief is neither a vaccination nor insurance against

(sadly) falling in love, or
(blessedly) being loved

You could just as well state, that you don't believe in bacteria.
It 'd make you neither everhealthy nor immortal.

IF you 'd seriously try this avoiding you wouldn't be here,
nor there, wherever your personal theres are,
and finally you would avoid cultivating friendships like the plague.
