mikex Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) The first n5-10 minutes were tense then we talked like civil people. I gave everyone (3 people) in the office a hug and told them they can call me if there is anything I can do for them.Added info:Have another interview with an IT company close to home. Hoping to get a decent offer for salary. They have full insurance, boy will that be nice. Have not had health insurance since I had back surgery in '01.M Edited July 26, 2007 by mikex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Congrats, Mike! I, too once quit a job "on the spot" due to the Soap Opera work atmosphere (which would also break a server if I told the story!), and even though it wasn't in my nature to do that, it sure felt good Good luck with the new prospect! You'll do great! Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I was not due to start work until Monday, I got a call last night to see if I can go to Dallas, TX for a training class on this Wednesday. I jumped on it. Hotel and class are paid for and I will be well reimbursed for the mileage.I leave this afternoon to be back Wednesday night. It is about 6 hours from my home to Dallas. Guess I need to throw some mp3 cds in the truck for this trip. It is all working out for the best. The wife may come, she is undecided. the kids are in their early teens so they can hang out at a friends house for a couple nights.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Congratulations, mikex!! Wonderful news!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garmanma Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Good Luck. I know these are anxious times but it'll work out. The best thing that ever happened to me was losing a "secure" job. I just didn't know it at the time. It's so much better when you have a job you actually want to go toMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Went in today to get hotel info for the training class, Came back with a laptop and an office. Wife will get me the desk "stuff" every husband/father needs to have on his desk. The laptop is running Vista Business with 512 ram. Oh well.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
