Eight days to go. . .

I gave notice at my job. I am about to drastically change my life. I’m wondering what you all will think about it. I don’t know why I care so much, since I don’t know one frakking one of you.

Feels good, doesn’t it? The daily grind will soon be gone, as will the petty political infighting and that nice-guy boss who never made a firm decision in his life.

I wish you the best, erleichda, and since you brought it up, I’ll ask: what drastic change are you about to make in your life? Besides not being at your old job, of course.

Not knowing anything else about you or your situation I’d say it’s pretty stupid to quit if you have no job lined up. But if you do have one lined up, good luck!

I’m changing just about everything…

I’d like to be interested in this, but you make it really hard by being deliberately and unnecessarily cryptic.

Indeed. If you want to talk about what you’re doing, talk about it, but giving vague one-liners like

… doesn’t leave much for discussion.

Big mistake. Your life was perfect before.

I changed my underwear this morning too. Felt good, damned good. You really should try to change them daily though, waiting 8 days is a bit much IMHO.

Hmmm. We hear that changing certain internal organs is fraught with complication.

Since the OP isn’t telling, we should just make stuff up. I say he’s quitting his job as a Chippendale dancer and getting a sex change. Either that, or he’s Roland Burris.

Are you going to change your posting style to make it interesting? :eek: :stuck_out_tongue:

Seeing as how this is a REAL possiblity, I will be watching this thread with much interest!

glee, you nut!! :smiley:

Becoming a monk is overrated… don’t do it.

Nun-sense. Just don’t make it a habit.

Best of luck in your generalized, non-descript yet complete life overhaul!

Well that’s one way to get out of a rut. Many people take up painting or needlepoint.

Are you George Costanza? Doing the opposite of every instinct you have?

Will you be changing sexes? :eek:

Or maybe he’s a she and is quitting her stripping job and getting a sex change. Soon to be known as Erleichdo!

Yeah, you’re right. With a bit of digging I figured it out.

The OP’s profile states his occupation as “co-pilot”. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume this means he routinely runs black ops in Colombia, smuggling cocaine into the country in order to provide an unlimited source of fuel for the U.S. drug war as part of a larger government conspiracy. You know, make a big show of destroying coca crops by day, while the OP and his co-conspirators fly in bricks of lab-processed coke by night.

The OP has decided this just isn’t the life for him, and wants to turn a new leaf whereby he will serve as head of a fine art museum in Finland. A quiet, uncomplicated life in his charming Finnish cottage where he will happily live out the rest of his days. Or so he thinks. But wait! Some of the drug-lord enemies he made during his missions in black ops have tracked him down, and forced him to make a hasty departure to Cairo where he plans to sell jewelery from a street caravan until things die down.

To adapt to this new life as a street vendor he has had to make some adjustments, like learning to whittle and wearing a fez hat. Also he was considering purchasing a monkey to keep on his shoulder, but nixed that idea after reading about this.

My guess is he’s a chartered accountant who wants to become a lion tamer, maybe by way of banking or some other vocation:

I changed everything once. Just took a crapshoot and said “change it all”

Next thing I knew I was a bacteria living in a dungworm on the anus of a diseased dog in the slums of Calcutta.

I hurriedly changed everything again, as I didn’t see much of a future where I found myself. This time things worked out marginally better, but I don’t know why I’m even telling all you frakkers.

Maybe he’ll finally move out of his car and follow his lifelong dream of becoming a goat herder. Maybe in Kenya or other places where goats need herding. The future looks bright for you, erleichda, keep the dream alive.
