Wish me luck!

Hey, congratulations!  You didn't seem happy where you were.  And of course good luck.  But you won't need it:  you'll do fine.

I need a job so badly, I am on the verge of an extremely dire financial crisis.
It might time to swallow my pride and get some shitty warehouse job. Oh woe is me.

I hope there was a rousing speech involved.

Or that you threw water in somebody's face. Preferably your boss's.

I once quit a restaurant job with the classic "Fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you."
Half-Baked had only been out for a few weeks at that point.  I felt oh so witty and unemployable.

Maybe Petey can put in a good word for you.

More seriously, I suppose it's hellishly hard to get into whatever union you must be in to do the work you know best how to do.  Sucks.  Sorry.

Emily, thank you so much for the offer! I will take you up on it, because that's what I want to do. I think it will be a nice reprieve from private banking, and it's ultimately what I want to do.

And Jason, good luck to you. I hope we're both gainfully employed SOON.

I don't want to go into the gory details. It was a lot of stress. I left in a huff at 3 pm. I'll call in tomorrow and see what's what. It sucks that I'm leaving on not so great terms.

Congrats, Laurie.  I've never regretted quitting any job ever.

Jason, you got my help any time you want it.

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Congratulations, Laurie!  I hope the aftermath is ok.

If you would considering working in a school library, you can look for jobs here:

www.nais.org

You don't need special certification to work in a private/independent school, so there might be something.  Best of luck to you.
