Take this job and SHOVE IT

“So do you feel bad everytime you buy some other product made of wood or wood by-products? Like toilet paper for instance?

It's not like there's some logger sitting around waiting for the call, "Mapleleaf said kill a tree, her company needs some lumber, and another four-pack of Charmin!"

The logging is happening anyway.”

“Good point bit.

Mapes, quit using TP NOW!!!
Save A Tree!!!!!!”

“Hey I dont use tp when i am in the woods...under no circumstances!!!!! I use moss, leaves, rocks and occassionally pinecones.”

“I use the really thin stuff, a roll lasts longer...”

“I just hold it in long enough that TP is no longer necessary.”

“mapleleaf - 1 hr. 45 mins one way? That length for a round trip would be pushing it, but one way? Ouch.”

“No thats my commute now.”

“one way”

“There are tons of people who live in the greater NYC area that commute that length of time and longer each way for work. I used to commute 45 miles each way when I lived there and it took me a minimum of 1.5 hours each way. To boot, I was coming in early and leaving late to beat some of the traffic. It's a nightmare.

I'm about 20 minutes away from work now. It's the perfect amount of time to unwind from work before getting home.”

“ok make that 1 1/2 hr commute one way.

sorry”

“You'll probably do more for the environment by cutting your commute time that much than "damage" by being involed in the lumber biz. By and large the lumber biz has been tamed with tree farms (as mentioned above). You'll save 1 pound of carbon dioxide put in the air, per mile you don't drive. I am guessing about 150 pounds of CO₂ per day.

Take the job.”

“FYI
I take the subway
if i get the job I will be taking the Bus

no job offer yet :)”

“Ok, no net gain or loss for the air. I can see how you can handle that long commute if you are taking the subway - a ton less stress. I'll take 1 1/2 hours on the subway over 45 minutes driving any day.”

“"Hey I dont use tp when i am in the woods...under no circumstances!!!!! I use moss, leaves, rocks and occassionally pinecones."

Pinecones? OUCH!, leaves, moss - ok, but rocks and pinecones?

Thats hardcore!”

“I define that as silly.
But to each their own.”

“Well after reaching maximum discord in the lack of resources available to my division, I resigned.


Drastic action, but the stress of trying to take the division to a new level with no help wasn't worth it.

Negotiated a severance package and now deciding what to do. Quitting isn't normally in my vocabulary, but this time I didn't hesitate.”

“so, now more time for hiking?”

“Werk fer tha' Gummint....like me!Be a Lie-yer fer the US!”

Translation: They bounced his expense account vouchers from Hooter's.

LOL.”

“WHOA. Good luck in your newest endeaver, chili, whatever it ends up being.”

“Wow, chili. That's quite a decision, but I'm sure your life will be a lot less stressful now. Being an attorney, I'm sure you weighed all the options before making your decision.”

“I think he's going to apply at Hooter's for Quality Control inspections.”

“Any way you could become a pro geocacher? Good luck in your search dude.”

“Chili, you could always move to Sacramento and go to work for one of the environmental lobby orgs...”

“The money's good on How-stun Street, right?

Good luck, Chili. Hope the ole blood pressure drops several points, too!”

“hey can I resign from my job?
it's giving me very bad stomach aches....”

“"Negotiated a severance package and now deciding what to do."

Are you saying they paid you for quitting? Sweet!

BTW, that's the same primary reason for me leaving my last job. I already had another job in hand though. Your move seems more ballsy. Good luck.”

“mapleleaf - If that is true, I suggest you quit. I had that experience once. Pains were killing me (very severe), especially on the way to work. As soon as I submitted my resignation, they quit. Never experienced them again.”

“chili - B'ham is calling to you. Come over to the dark side my brutha.”

“I have been working on a start up company with my father in law oriented toward HR training and reporting of claims.

I think in a year I will be working in it full time, so that softened my decision somewhat.

Somehow, I am just not too worried about the future,,,,what is to be will be, what is not to be, just might happen.”

“Sucks ya didn't do this months ago. We could have had a Kerry/Chili ticket! Talk about indigestion! LOL!”

“Give me a break,,,I would hold out for the Chili/Witherspoon ticket.


Or the Witherspoon/Chili ticket. I mean really, would it matter if I were on top or bottom?”

“How about a career as a trip planner, maybe you would get to go on a few of them.”

“......trying to keep quiet.......”

“Hopefully, chuck, I won't have to miss anymore of them b/c I am helping a $4B company make more money.”

“Chili,

That's why I left the world's second largest oil field service company and started my own business.”

“Did you get the email I sent yesterday about SG?”

“funny pic Maple. Glad you have things lined up Chili”

“Good luck, Chili!

Everything happens for a reason!

You'll do fine!”

“Congrats, chili!!!! :-) Enjoy some time away, dude!”

“you still looking into that other company we talked about at the bar? You'll have to e-mail me your current cell..since i had your work #...lol Oh, and i'm back in Nashville. Me and the Missus will come see you guys soon.”

“ChuckD worked for Halliburton? Or is Halliburton the Biggest oilfield service company?

What services do you provide Chuck?”

“I HATE MY JOB
I HATE MY JOB
I HATE MY JOB
I HATE MY JOB
I HATE MY JOB
I HATE MY JOB
I HATE MY JOB

Oh by the way

“It could be worse. Trade with me and you can change grown men and women's diapers and clean their butts for them. Fun.”

“hey, that's life with crazy mike!”

“werd. i agree with ms morgue.”

“okay...hows this:

I HATE MY JOB

“WORK SUCKS!”

“why sit and hate, move and do something about it.”
