I had it today, jerk manager told me I had to come to work today, he didn’t care if I had a sick kid, he had plans and wouldn’t work.
I covered for him on Saturday, he wouldn’t cover for me today.
Screw him.
I got made redundant. Can I have cake?
I’m still gainfully employed. I’ll buy everyone tea and cake.
I’m retired. Let them eat cake!
misstee, life’s too short to work for a manager like that. Good riddance to that job.
I am loving it, I can’t wait to get back to tucking the kids in bed everynight with a song.
I hope my son doesn’t think he is too old for it.
misskid2 has not gotten sick for 3 hours now. She felt like eating a little soup for supper.
Well, if I could be in Iowa and Wokingham at the same time I’d make you both my Bailey’s Irish Cream Cakey Cookies. Yum! 
Yummy.
You know I have only officially been unemployeed for about 3 hours, and I am loving it. I gave misskid3 a bubble bath, trimmed her bangs, and tucked her in with lots of kisses. This is the first Monday in a very long time that I have been home.
( I gave the other misskids lots of kisses, too )
Good on ya!
It feels really great to quit a job that sucks, doesn’t it?
Tomorrow we may get all out of control and organize all our new Christmas stuff.
I just had a thought, I can sleep in tomorrow, misskids permitting.
Congratulations, misstee, and curses upon your former manager!! I’ll bake you and your kids a whole damn batch of cookies.
I hope you’ve been having some lovely time off, and that both misskids are healthy and happy!

(Coincidentally, I just did the same thing (quit a shitty job) week before last. It was very freeing.

How about some snickerdoodles, warm from the oven, and mugs of hot chocolate[the REAL stuff]? Nothin’ says, “Aw, there, there,” like warm, cuddly goodies, and getting tucked in. You’re never too old to get tucked in.
Woohoo, cookies, cakes, snickerdoodles and kisses. Count me in. I’ll bring a copy of the employment section.
Darn the luck, I was awake before any of the misskids got out of bed. Its nice to lounge about in my jammies.
So far today, I have vacuumed the living room and dining room, did a load of laundry, persuaded the two older misskids to take a shower. When they are dressed, I will get dressed and off we go. We are going to pick up some groceries with out having to rush through the store. Then come home. Not go to the sitters house, we’re coming home.
I am so excited.
Unemployment is wonderful for about two weeks. Then the whole “domestic engineer” thing starts to suck. I s’pose it’s different when you have a houseful of keeblers, but when it’s just little ol’ you and eight hours of bad tv, work starts to look vellly intellesting, my dear. But fuck your jerky boss. That job you DON’T need.
I’m so happy for you! Enjoy your time with your little people.
Good for you misstee! Enjoy every minute. I remember when you got stuck in the snow storm and couldn’t see you family because of that job. Considering all the hours you have been working, they are going to miss you I’m sure. Maybe you’ll even get the satisfaction of a phone call pleading you to work a few hours. If so, say you’ll think about it for about half an hour and then say NWIH!
Did I ever tell you I love you SixSwordS? If not, I am saying it now.
You rule. All making me fell better about not bieng there. I can’t wait to go in to pick up my paycheck ( today is our payday ) and see the Area General Manager. She is working the hours I was supposed to work today. I am just going to smile and request my termination form and give her my keys after I sign the term form.
I didn’t read that correctly the first time. The whole office was wondering what in hell I was laughing about.
Good for you. YOU have your priorities straight. Obviously, ex boss does not. (I’m working New Years so my guys can be off, and believe me, that makes me tops with my guys–your boss should take notes.)
So, misstee, when you went in for your paycheck, were you begged to come back? Maybe a raise? Possibly extra hamburger on your pie?
Orrrrrr, better yet, did they offer you one of those sit-down Galaga games? Can I have it? I’ll trade you a pizza with extra hamburger for it.
