Yeah...been there.

My point is you paid your bills, but come Saturday, if they don't meet your terms, you'll be in the same position you would have been in if you gave them 2 weeks and walked. The way you chose kept you in a job you weren't satisfied with for months.

Even if they do meet your terms you'll go through the same bullshit every time you're due for a raise. I don't have the patience.

If I was going to end up winging it, I'd rather be free from them sooner...

everyone's different.

Everyone's different for sure.

Some can cut off totally from things, nice, clean and quick and simply move on.

Others take a slow cutting of the things that attach them.

Once gone, some never look back or dwell much, others ponder deeply their time they spent there.

It's interesting how people process things.

Well tonight is Ung's last night in The Big Smoke. There was certainly a lot of smoke down his neck of the woods a while back...another story.

In any case, don't get into much mischief tonight!! Lol!
Perhaps Nibor and myself need to come along to keep you from trouble?? Lol!

That "Other" Fort Bragg.  Not THE Ft Bragg.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Congrats Carlos - IF this makes you happy.....

Wonder if you will end up in Bologna same time as me (if my Euro trip ever happens)
May be a US/Canada trip yet to visit my son....
