Almost officially a bum.

put in my notice yesterday, almost 7 years, survived 7 layoffs only to quit so I can be a sailing bum.

GED educated Senior SW engineer soon to be unemployed. 15 working days to go.

Wish us luck.

Cheers,

Adam,

Some people get promotions when they are least expected. Sounds like you've given yourself one. Good luck and fairwinds.

When I quit, I also sold my house. Took 2 years to achieve my dual goals of being unemployed and homeless.

HMMM? Work, or go hungry. You know... I could stand to lose a few pounds. I agree, jobs SUCK!!! Every day, I check my dock lines, but this time, I might just let them break when the time comes, and raise the sails AdamY, Good luck, and fair winds.

Retired mid Feb., moved aboard mid April. I consider myself gainfully unemployed. After all, work is a four letter word!
