[graywarrior]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[ThomCat]

1. Congratulations!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

:woohoo:

I hope you have something much better lined up very soon. But in the meantime, it must feel wonderful to know that you're leaving that hell-hole.

[graywarrior]

2. Thanks. I am going to develop my own thing.

Get back to working with musicians doing some promo, etc. I am not a good employee.

[skygazer]

3. Wow, what a relief!

I thought you were going to post that you'd killed her!

I'm glad you're free of that nightmare - it did NOT sound healthy. Hope it all works out well. :hug:

[graywarrior]

4. Thanks. I snickered as I walked out the door and guffawed when I got in my car.

I feel as if I got a cancerous tumor removed.

[NMDemDist2]

5. wow! good on you GW!

best of luck in your new endeavors, you'll do great I'm sure :bounce:

[fizzgig]

6. yay!!!!!

:bounce:

isn't it a fanfuckingtastic feeling?

[graywarrior]

9. Yes! I thought I'd be at least sad I don't have money coming in.

But things move fast around here and I am going to be living in a new house starting Sunday, so things are good.

[mainegreen]

7. Ah good. I hope they don't charge you a quitting fee and employee replacement tax.

:7
congrats!

[graywarrior]

8. No shit, huh? Here in Florida they get you for everything.

[SPKrazy]

10. Congrats Gray!

:yourock:

way to take care of yourself!


:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

11. Wow!

You sound happy, so I'm happy.

:woohoo:

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. Woohoo, Gray!

:woohoo: :toast: What a relief for you! :hug: I'm happy the crap is over.

[VenusRising]

13. Congratulations!

Sometimes, quitting a job is as exhilarating as getting a new one. Good for you!!

:applause:
:hug:

[cwydro]

14. Good for you!

[NewJeffCT]

15. Glad to see that it was good news - but -

But don't mention witches in a bad light here on DU - I got taken to task last year for defending Elizabeth Edwards quoting Thomas Jefferson.

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to it's true principles. It is true that in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt."

:hide:

[idgiehkt]

16. Congrats to you

One expression I love is "leap and the net will appear"...I've found that to be true. Congrats on having the courage to take that leap. Did she go completely outer limits? (Or did you even tell her it was your last day?)

:woohoo:

[graywarrior]

17. No, I told her I don't believe in staying in a bad marriage.

And when people try to make me feel bad about myself, I have to get away from them.

She was ready for it. I was shredding all her old documents one day and came across a shit load of 1099's from past employees. I knew then it was just a matter of time for me.

I could kick myself for being naive, but I won't. I'm happy to be away from the toxicity.

[idgiehkt]

47. It's a great feeling, isn't it.

Ditto to everything that you said above, good for you for telling her the truth. I don't think you were naive, just not independently wealthy. Onward and upward.

[bigwillq]

18. YAY!

Good for you! :hi: :hug:

[GenDem]

19. I'm happy for you

:hug: :bounce: :hug:

Life is too short to spend a good portion of our hours miserable. Good for you for making a change! Something better always comes from this.


I worked for a witch once, and I thank her everyday for making my life miserable enough for me to take a leap of faith, quit, and completely change my life.

[graywarrior]

20. Thank you. Usually, I love witches.

This one was EVIL. I can see why she has a phobia that keeps her in the house. Any exposure to daylight would melt her.

[NC_Nurse]

21. Alright!

Good for you! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear graywarrior!

Oh, thank goodness, sweetie!

I know this is a big load off.......

And you're smart and clever.......

If anyone can figure out what to do, it's you!

Relax, enjoy, do your thing......

And happy moving! :bounce: :bounce:

[graywarrior]

23. Thanks, lovie.

Now I can read poetry!

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. Now you can go back to stalking Lukas!!!!

Yippeeeeeeee!! :bounce:


;)

[graywarrior]

27. Did you say

L U K A S ?

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. Why yes, yes I did.

[graywarrior]

30. I hear. . .

TOBY ! ! ! !

and Lukas...ta daaaaaaa

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Do you think we'll ever get tired of that pic?

I say no!

[graywarrior]

32. I say NEVER. . . .EVER

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. ..ever.. ever?

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

41. Fucking ever

[hippywife]

36. You know it took me a little while

to figure out who he reminds me of but if he were mid 30's, without the eyeliner and the wild hair, he would look exactly like my doctor! :o

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. Gray will be PMing you for his address shortly..

:rofl:

[hippywife]

39. I won't give it to her.

I can't have her totally corrupting my doc! ;)

[graywarrior]

42. gimme....NOW. Is he a gyno?

[hippywife]

45. Nope.

Not a gyno. And I think you would be a bad influence on him. }(

[graywarrior]

46. What's his name? Got a pic? Where's he located/? Why can't I have him?

You are selfish...keeping him all to yourself. B'yotch.

[hippywife]

48. But I'm really just thinking of you, darling.

After all, he isn't Lukas and would never be. I'm afraid the disappointment would be too much for you. :hug:

Edited to add: Do you have a pic of your doc?

[graywarrior]

49. You asked

My doc



My dentist (he's hawt)

[hippywife]

50. LOL!

Is you dentist like 13? He looks like someone who could use a little corruption. ;)

[graywarrior]

51. He's a wildman. I've never been in such a happy dental clinic.

Loud rock n roll blasting from the speakers, he sings and dances, tells jokes, makes you appreciate his earrings of the week. He's adorable.

[S n o w b a l l]

25. Congrats Gray!

I saw your pic on the picture thread and you looked truly relaxed and happy.
Life is really too short to be miserable & put up with assholes.

:hug:

[graywarrior]

33. Why thank you, Engi!!!

Yep, we got assholes in office, assholes on Fucks News, and we don't need to have them in our personal lives.

[GoneOffShore]

26. Congratulations on quitting.

Sometimes we fire clients and it feels just as good.

"I'm sorry, you can't pay me enough money to suffer through the hell I know you'll put me through if I take this job. Go find some other poor schmuck to torture with your sick little games. And do me a favor. Lose my email address."

Haven't actually said that, but we've implied it by quoting a double rate (and occasionally triple) for a job that they know we would charge anyone else far less.

[graywarrior]

35. Sometimes you do a favor for the idiots you fire.

They live of the drama for a few weeks at the bar.

[GoneOffShore]

40. Most of the clients we fire don't even realize it.

We quote high, and tell them we're too busy for their job.

"Oh, okay. Can you recommend anyone else?"

"Sorry, no."

[graywarrior]

43. Poor bastids.

Some days you eat the bear, and some days, the bear eats you.

[KitchenWitch]

29. WOOHOO!

[mike_c]

38. LOL-- I hope she calls you to ask where such and such a file is...

...so you can hang up on her and relive the joy of quitting all over again!

[graywarrior]

44. Mr. Gray suggested that she would not be able to just let go.

However, she'll have the "new" assistant/victim call me. Funny thing is, I am moving and will have a different phone number which is under someone else'd name. *snort*

[Scarlett17]

52. Congratulations, graywarrior!

Best of luck on your new path.

:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

53. Congratulations!

[graywarrior]

54. Thanks all.

Right now I am steaming over her new craiglist ad. I want to tear her a new one.
