Woohoo! I gave my fucking notice!

[xmas74]

I was offered a job yesterday. The pay is ok (better than what I make now) and I will receive benefits. They have requested that I start Monday (they are opening a group home in the next two weeks and need someone there immediately).

I gave notice today. My boss asked me why I wanted to go to a place that offered benefits. I just laughed and gave her the letter.

[EstimatedProphet]

1. Good for you!

Was your boss serious?

[xmas74]

3. She's a fundie bitch.

She probably was.

I also stated that I felt uncomfortable w/ the morning prayer. She stated that I did not have to participate. I stated that she should not have it in the first place.

We've clashed before. I was expecting a showdown, as were my coworkers. One of my coworkers stated that she probably decided to back down after looking in my eyes. She knew I meant business and that I was itching for a fight.

[EstimatedProphet]

5. You had a MORNING PRAYER?!

Oyoyoy

Definately, congratulations are in order!

[xmas74]

9. Sure did.

Morning prayer at 8 am.

Not mandatory but she did treat those who did not participate differently.

[LostinVA]

21. Before you leave, tell her you're gay

[xmas74]

24. She already asked me if my daughter was artificially

"emspermanated". I informed her that I didn't know who her father was-it was a wild night.

[LostinVA]

27. Hahahahahha!!!

[xmas74]

28. She doesn't need to know that I was with him

for five years. I thought about pulling out some wild descriptions of the night in question but decided to let it die down.

I hate nosy people at work!

[LostinVA]

29. Me too! My bipolar boss who doesn't take meds is like that

[xmas74]

31. We had this inservice around Christmas time about depression.

She felt like sharing the story of how she wanted to stick her head in an oven after her daughter was born. I made a comment about Sylvia Plath. Her response was "Who's that?"

If she were overweight and had her front teeth missing I'd compare her to Marguerite Perrin. I can hear her screeching "Darksided!" right now.

[LostinVA]

41. hehehehhe-- God Warrior! Everyone should at least know who

Plath was... even if they don't know she was an over-rated, pretensious... oops!!!

[xmas74]

42. She was overrated and pretentious.

But any reference to a woman sticking her head in an oven should automatically have the response of "Being a bit melodramatic, Sylvia?"

[LostinVA]

44. OMG -- I say that to people!

Or -- "Better tape the doorjamb, Syvlia!"

[xmas74]

46. Brilliant!

I might have to steal that one from you-with your permission, of course.

I love the name Sylvia and it was one of my choices for my daughter. The fact that her father hated that name made it especially appealing. (FWIW-Flannery was another one of my choices).

I decided against Sylvia because I am horrible to people w/ that name and I knew that I would, inadvertently, inflict years of emotional abuse upon my child.

2. Why would you want to go somewhere you will be paid more

and receive better benefits? :silly:

[xmas74]

4. That's what I thought.

Why would I want to go somewhere to work in a field that I was experienced in? A place that offers benefits, is constantly expanding and has stated that they will be hiring supervisors for subsequent home from within their organization?

I must be a dumb broad to give up my old job!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Good for you, my dear xmas74!

You rock! That is just awesome....ALL of it!

How sweet for you......Hope your life will be MUCH better!

:yourock:

[xmas74]

10. I hope so too.

I used to love working in mental health.
The job I'm going to is group homes for the challenged w/ the chance of promotion.

[ThomCat]

7. Congratulations!

I hope it's a much better place to work.

[xmas74]

11. I'll be there all night, by myself.

That's got to be better than listening to fundies speak the word of Jesus all day long and accuse me of not being a Christian because I attend *gasp* a Methodist church.

[ThomCat]

22. You're an amazingly patient person

just for not strangling them. :scared:

[xmas74]

23. Believe me-

I've wanted to on many occasions!

[Redstone]

8. Should have laughed and given her the finger.

Redstone

[xmas74]

12. I laughed.

No finger involved. If she had really started yelling there would have been a finger involved and I would have refused to work from that moment on.

[bridgit]

13. "why go to a place that offered benefits..."!?!?!

Doi! so the interview went well, cause i just thought that it would :thumbsup: :hug: either way onward & upward :hi:

[xmas74]

14. It's not the position that I interviewed for

but it is a position with them w/ the chance of promotion in the future.

And I love that whole bit about a place w/ benefits. Why would I pick that kind of place to work at when I could stay where I'm at, make poverty level wages and not even be able to call in sick if I need to?

[bridgit]

15. it's still all good news, hon, yes; the rest will come together in time...

i got faith in you O8)

[xmas74]

17. Thank you.

I'm glad someone has faith in me!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

16. You give notice?

Usually when I want sex, I just start groping my girlfriend, but I don't consider that notice. :shrug: :D

On a more serious note: Congrats!!!

[xmas74]

18. Thank you.

My boss didn't deserve the notice she received.

[In_The_Wind]

19. Congratulations xmas!

I knew you could do it!

[xmas74]

20. Thanks.

I thought I didn't get the job. I was really surprised when they called yesterday!

[In_The_Wind]

25. I'm very happy for you!

[xmas74]

26. You would have been proud.

I didn't tell my boss to fuck herself when I gave my notice!

I wanted to but I did keep my mouth shut.

[In_The_Wind]

33. Now I really AM proud of you, xmas!

It took a lot of inner strength to walk away! Major Kudos Darlin'

[xmas74]

35. I still wanted to smack her.

That must mean I'm growing up!

[In_The_Wind]

38. I Feel That Way At Times!

Yes! You are growing up beautifully! :loveya:

[xmas74]

40. I feel like the girl in one of those stupid pamphlets

they used to give you at school about your period and what to expect.

"I'm finally growing up!"

[evlbstrd]

30. That's great news!

I hope you can come and celebrate it with us tomorrow.

[xmas74]

32. I can't.

I wanted to but Callie's been invited to a birthday party at 7 tomorrow night and I don't get off of work until 5. Turns out my daughter is the only one she invited so we need to make sure she makes it to the party.

They're going bowling!

[evlbstrd]

34. We'll miss you.

But we'll take pictures. Have fun!

[xmas74]

36. I don't know if I'll have fun

w/ a five and a six year old in a bowling alley and the unknown parents.

Drink a couple of Guinesses for me!

[evlbstrd]

37. Won't you at least get to bowl?

I'll put your name on at least two pints.

[xmas74]

39. Bumper bowling.

I should have an excellent score tomorrow night!

[evlbstrd]

47. At least a 360, I'd say.

[DainBramaged]

43. The Fundies think you should appreciate the crumbs they give you

Good for you and congratulations.

I would NOT have been that diplomatic. I worked for a Clinton HATER 3 years ago. I was happy one morning to show up and find a Sheriff's notice on the door shutting his big mouth down. Sucked for us but I was relieved not ot have to be listening to his shit any more.

One of the people displaced who apparently arrived before me wrote "Fuck you Tom, die young and impotent" in magic marker across the notice.

Just desserts.:evilgrin:

[xmas74]

45. I'm quite relieved that I don't have to be there after Sunday.

The person who hired me at my new job made a offhanded comment about Blunt(our governor) that made me jump for joy. Then again, that's what should be expected-if you work in mental health you should have the governor and what he has done.

I knew the laughing would be enough to get her goat. She loves to intimidate-she got in my face one time and pointed her finger at my nose. I laughed at her then and it completely threw her off.

She wanted me to yell and act like an imbecile. I just laughed at her. I know that makes her madder than yelling.
