Two Week Notice

My wife left her baker/cake decorator job after 11 years to become a CNA at a nursing home. She's contemplating going for an LPN, possibly starting some classes next year.
You'd do very well as a caregiver, Sushi, I believe that honestly.

I so totally agree Monte.
Good golly, why didn't we think of this before?
I think Sush would be an excellent nurse!
We know his heart is in the right place, it wouldn't take that long at all to get his license, especially if he got into an accelerated program.

Y'know, Paul, in 1981 I started working for a grain company here. After awhile, I began to hate the place. However, it was all I knew and I was afraid to step out, always looking for another job, but never going after one. I endured a drunk boss who took his problems out on me and a couple of other guys. Then, in 1988, they cut the crew back. A junior employee should have been the one let go, but he drank beer with the boss in the evenings, so it was me who got two weeks notice. I did my job to the best of my abilities right up until quitting time the last day. I got a decent severance plus unemployment so I wasn't left to starve. That's when I turned to trucking and worked in that field for the biggest part of 19 yrs.
Getting shoved out the door of that grain elevator was a good deal for me. There were pangs, off and on, but they subsided while I got adjusted to a new life.
It's scary to find yourself in this scenario, but it's not fatal. Like others have said; find a job to pay the bills and keep searching for something that you love to do.
It was once said that if you do what you love, you will never work another day in your life. I've found it to be true.
Now, go get 'em!!

Great advice, and very true!!!

Couldn't give you rep points again so soon or I would have....

Sushi, Don't burn any bridges like they said.

Do you have any vacation or anything you can use to job hunt?

Thanks!!!!!!! Thats one of the best compliments I could get!!!

For the 1st time I gave away from many rep points I got a message....

"Youve handed out your limit for Rep Points within 24 hours"!!! :blink: I didnt even know thats possible.

CNA would be very cool! Im looking into other things too. There were some damn great suggestions from the past and present.

Ya know, Im happy in the sense that I did my best at my job and wasnt a Piker like the rest of those *bleeeeeep!!!* that had their damn clients GIVEN to them! Plus they show up twice a week and THEN go on vacation! Of course now that one of MY clients is doing well..... its going to be given to one of THEM!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrr
 
GOOD! Now you can go and get a good job! Screw those assholes!!!!!!!!!! BP called me and told me the bad news but I think its good news. You were NOT happy there anyway and thats no way to feel when you go to work day after day. BP also gave you the web site for the HR. USE it Sushi and find a good job. Those ****S didnt deserve you anyway.
 
Paul, I don't know you nearly as well as most of the others. However, I do know from reading your posts here and on other forums, that your intellectual level is very high, you've got an abundance of energy, and most important, a large number of friends.

I truly believe you would be a great asset to any worthwhile organization. Your employer doesn't realize what their loosing.

Good luck in your decision making process, and in finding meaningful employment.

sushi,

like everyone elas has previously stated, this could be a good thing for you in the long run. I ran a bar for years and when it closed down I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me. now i look back and see it was the best thing that happened to me. i hated my job, and now I have a great job that i love. Keep your chin up and find a job you at least like.
 
Thank you again folks! You all just really make me feel great and all your words hit me deep. Means just a huge amount and makes my heart all darn mushy. I know I post pretty much anything and everything about my life. Its just, for me, not only therapy for me but that someone out there might recognize some goof named after a tasty blowfish treat (and a Simpsons episode) is going thru the same thing they are and possibly relate and know THEY arent alone.

Today at work, no one really spoke to me. People are looking at me a little different. It was weird! Shitty feeling too that all of my hard work will belong to some SOB peer there. You know... the ones that come in on Monday and Thursday for a total of 8 or 9 hours. That is the worst part of this. I'll have a health care group buying a shitload of stuff among a company that wants me to be a depo of millions of dollars of parts. WHEN does that START???? NEXT MONTH!!!!!! :soapbox:

The other day I was talking to a woman how works in sales....she sells advertising to Time Share companies in Orlando....She was complaining about the gas prices and how they have caused everything else to go up, while sales are going down (I can identify with that) and now she has taken about a 15% cut in pay this past year. I was feeling sorry for her until I heard her say her pay went from 100 grand a year to 85 grand :blink: I think we are selling the wrong stuff:shock:

find another job and dont go back to this one..........dont even call them, they dont deserve it. Oh and that ONE client doing well, call them tell them what they did to you (after you have left) tell them how big a scum the new dud is and that you recommend them buying from ??????? from now on.


(I do hope you know I am kidding, but if I found something I would not go back) you can not slander them, they will get nasty if you do. IF you found something comparable to what you do, can you go back to your clients? Do you have anythink like a no compete? I am not suggesting stay in this business, but if you did...........there is something for you, that you will like

Sushi, some good advice for you from the mountain top. Don't burn any bridges, take the high road and just leave graceful and show them you are the better person......:mrgreen:
 
Here is a job for you Sushi or anyone else looking for work in Gillette Wyoming the energy capital of the US. My son called last night to tell me they can not get enough truck drivers for these haul trucks in the mine. He is training new truck drivers now and needs more asap. The pay is about $23.00 an hour to start with full benefits. It is shift work of 12 hour shifts and with 7 days in a row off once per month along with several 3 day stretches off. You must take pre employment drug/alcohol screening and be able to work shift work. You will make about 50K a year easily. Overtime is available at 1.5 and 2 times normal pay if you want to work some of your days off also.

Looks like a cool job Sushi.........You can even customize your work ride to give it the "Chicago" look so you'll still feel at home. :whistling:

All kidding aside.........Good luck in your job search......You'll do OK !

SUSHI!!! You get a job driving one of those, you will also get your MAN CARD back!!





(I'm pretty sure ya will, anyhow. :hide: )
 
Sorry, no man card is required. There are some young 18 to 20 year old gals driving these trucks that handle them like a pro. High school graduation is also required. Some trucks are even equipped with a microwave so you can have a hot gourmet meal while you work. Sushi, just go around in circles for 12 hours and get paid about $320.00 average per day for your work.

PM sent! :thumb: Thanks for thinking of me man!
 
PM returned!!!!!!!!!

You need a major change in life and this would definitely give you that change and a new prospective along with a new total outlook. It might even toughen up the old Sushi we know and like............:clap: Those Wyoming gals are pretty tough and won't cut you any slack.......:rolf2:

Fo sho!
Trouble is, I can't picture Sushi in one of those rigs in a shirt and tie, and one of those fancy watches he so loves.
Hmmmm looks like he's going to have to say to hell with GQ in favor of donning the manly attire..
:smile:

I can take the truck home with me and on dates right?

Won't quite fit the drive through or the road, but I'm sure Wyoming girls would find a bosshoss or corvette or quarter horse more attractive than your "work truck."

Even if it it doesn't double as a girl magnet, I'd say it would be an interesting career choice for you. If I wasn't tied to this location, there's a good chance I'd be heading for Wyoming myself. :thumb:
 
I actually showed the post to my wife to see what she thought about relocating - if they'd hire us both at those rates, it'd be a significant boost to the household finances! (especially once the OT rates kicked in!)

Don't forget how much you'll save because there ain't Jacques Schitt out there to spend it on. :yum:
 
Go for it Sushi. You obviously are in need of a drastic change. In the next few years, there will be mines like that up here and that's what I plan on doing. Some of the guys that are already working in the exploration sections for these mines are making some pretty good $$$. And the mines aren't even in the production stages yet.
