MarieBrewer Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Last Wed. I told my boss that I am leaving my "position" at the thrift store. Now going back one day is too much for me. I want OUT! I only worked 2 days a week but my heart is no longer there and the dynamics of the place has really changed. Too many workers think they are superior to others and the helping hand attitude is long gone. Time to stay home and quilt till I drop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 That's sad news. Not about you staying home! Just about people not wanting to help others!! Remember right after 9/11 when everybody was super friendly and helpful and accepting of others?? Why can't people be that way ALL the time??? Well, I'm glad you get to stay home and quilt, anyway!! I hope it all works out for you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Good for you Marie....you won't look back and regret it I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra_2 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 The topic grabbed my attention . . . I'm having one of THOSE days!! Not the same situation but maybe a similar conclusion. You gotta watch out/take care of yourself first, else you won't be good for anyone else. I'm learning that lesson once again!!! Enjoy quilting and take care of yourself!! Blessings!

Sandra Darlington Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Does anyone remember that old Johnny Paycheck song called, "Take This Job & Shove It?" We need a chorus to sing it for you. LOL Good luck with your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATST Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Marie - Good for you -- takes a while until we finally decide 'that is enough' doesn't it? I have enjoyed the last two months so much -- so glad I finally retired. And when I finally realized it was time and I was ready, it felt so good. Bet you will too. You go, Girl Patsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saratogaquilter Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Good for you!! I'm so jealous! I've got at least 10 yrs before I can retire unless I will the lottery(I know... you can't win if you don't play), or a long lost relative leaves me a fortune. Enjoy your time!!

Janette Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Oh I wish I could afford to quit the day job, but the mortgage just wont allow me to yet !!!! Good for you though, it is not nice to work in that kind of environment ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I had hoped to be retired by now, but in this economy, I'm going to have to work another year or two. DANG! 30+ years at the University is really draining. Good for you for standing up for your principles and going for the gusto. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBQLTN2 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Marie Good for you I applaud anyone who can make a good decision and step out in faith. I too am jealous, but I am very thankful for a good job that I love, even if it is not quilting and try to be satisfied everyday with where the Lord has put me for now. That is a great place to be in our lives and it seems the Lord has moved you on to your next path, Congratulations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvstoquilt Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 In case it does not work out for you---I am a part time nanny and just love it. I work 5 hours a day for a wonderful family. They are thrilled to have a mature dependable person. I have to have some income but do not need full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainquilter Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Marie, I had thought about retiring but I loved spending money on quilting. Glad I didn't retire then, the company elimated my job after 20 years, paid me a nice severance and I bought my Lenni. If I had retired on my own I would of been out & no Lenni. They did me a huge favor and I never looked back. Mountainquilter diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWBowser Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Way to go. When the environment changes and you can't tolerate the bad behavior it is time to get out. Enjoy your extra time home quilting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
