Wink this is not a bad thing AT ALL...

i have hated my job and the people who work there for many many years. catty doesnt even describe the people there. it was like high school. there were the "cool kids" the "wanna be's" and the "losers"; it was TOTAL politics and work didnt matter. success there was determined by who you got along with. me being me, i got along with NO ONE!!! i hated being there so much to the point that when i had WLS and returned i was MISERABLE for the simple fact i could not stuff my face all day, or run downstairs for a smoke whenever people said stupid things that pissed me off

i had been discussing leaving for some time. i was "offered" a severence package and SIGNED AND RAN!! so i am home. i have full pay and benefits for a time. after that i am eligible for unemployment benefits. i am in no rush to find something else and i am just going to just RELAX. i havent taken a vacation in 4 plus years. being home is EXCELLENT.

i am not saying that i will never work again. just not now. and if and when my package runs out and i decide not to work anymore at all, thats something i can choose as well. i have family i can mooch off of a bit

so i am happy about the decision, not at all worried about anything financially YET LOL! and i just plan to take it easy, date, and think about what it is that i WANT to do, who i want to be, and what i want out of life. i refuse to work doing something i hate ever again in life. it RUINED my spirit....

now....if i could only figure out what i want to do! LOL!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I also say "Good For You" There is nothing worse than working at a place and cannot stand the people there. Enjoy the time at home and when you figure out what you want out of life, you will know when the time is right.
Like you said about the little groups at a work place is pretty bad because at a job everyone is suppose to be a team and not little groups. That also reminds me of school when we had the popular ones and then there were the middle ones that pretty much got along with everyone but not popular and then there where the ones on bottom that no one higher, hardly associated with them like you said the losers. That is so said when it carrys on after school. Now when my class had its 10 year reunion it was way differnt we all got along great and so much to talk about. We were all at one level with eachother. I had such a great time at the 10 year reunion. Otherwise I have not been to any other of my school reunions becasue it was aways at the time we had to make hay so we ended up staying home and working. Now that the cattle are gone we plan on doing more things from now on and going to enjoy ourselves instead of the cattle controlling us. When the next reunion comes up we are definatly going. It is so hard to work someplace when it is so hard to get along with the people there. I hope when you are ready to go back into the work force, that the people will be fun to work with. For now enjoy it at home and just enjoy life.

What an awesome opportunity! I always have a job to jump to or if it happened suddenly, I'm usually to freaked out to think about what I want! Best wishes to you, enjoy this time with Kayla!
