New Career Path

Well I finally did it after years of complaining and bitching about my job I quit.

Short Version of why I quit.

I was at my job for 9 years 9 months and 10 days It did have it's good times. I worked for a guy who I thought was a great boss we got along great 99 % of the time in my eyes it was a good job.

About 7 years ago my boss deceided it was time for his son to come work for us in management. We have management meetings every two weeks. It was about 2 years of the the two of them fighting over the stupidist things and I was usually stuck in the middle . I learned to just turn my back and walk away and let them fight. So after 2 years of fighting my boss deceided to make his son manager and he deceided to leave .

About six months into into it my boss calls me numerous times and says what is going on I can't leave things go on the way they are. What will happen if we fire him Blah blah blah. Yeah right I'm gonna tell my boss to fire his son . Does he think I'm daft? Of course I told him to do what ever he felt was right.

He then comes in for our bi weekly meeting and demotes him as he does not have a clue on how to be a manager. ( And he was never at work) He makes me Manager and promises me everything.

Of course the wage increase came along with more responsibility, I was doing the job before just not getting paid for it. But all the other things I was promised were never mentioned again. So I deceided enough is enough I'm out of their.

Over a year ago I applied for a FED GOV job, after numerous testing and interviews I was finally called and offered a position.

I am happy to say I accepted the position and am not looking back.

I have completed 1 week of work so far and compared to the old job it's a walk in the park.

And I like walking in the park. So it is all new to me and I am ready for the adventure.

As well I do not have a job title yet so when people have asked me what I do ? And trust me on this one evryone has asked. I have just replied I don't know yet.







And here is what I do at my new job

Ready for Winter

Last weekend the long weekend Thanksgiving weekend.

We pulled the boat out and the lift and the dock. It was very sad as it will be months and months till we get to float the boat again.

We had a great Thanksgiving with Flo she brought her Beu and he was very cordial. I think I am warming up to the old geezer.

I will be posting more in the next little while but the next few weeks I have lots of things booked and I have made a career move that i will tell you about soon.
