i wasn't going to post this until my last day but oh well. Today I gave my 2 weeks notice at work. I was actually going to do it april 10th and this way april 24th would've been my last day but because of my whole foot situation i didn't want to be messed up by not giving them time to find somebody else so I did it today. I told them I'll either finish the first week of May if they find somebody and incase it takes them a little bit longer the latest I'll stay is May 14th. I was so afraid to do it too lol but phew a huge weight lifted off my shoulders

yeah i do have ideas hahaha, trying to see now if it will work, and then i'll talk about it lol

Ooh, you're being so mysterious... should we start a thread where we guess and we get a prize if we're right?

Mmmmm... I guess... astronaut.

that would be an AWESOME job

lol yeah i dont mean to be but i am weird about things getting jinxed since i have a history of getting jinxed lol so first i have to see if it will even work out ya know

I totally understand. The other day, we were talking about what the weather would be like for my wedding, and my mom said, 'Oh, but I'm sure it won't rain that day.' And I freaked out! I started yelling at her and then I ran around the house looking for some wood for her to knock on.

I mean, you can't say things out loud like that. Is she insane????

So, I totally know where you're coming from.

i would never have the guts to do that right before my wedding (i need $$ coming in)

i want a new and fun job too.

any ideas on what you want to do?

well i worked out it so that i would still get all the money i would've regardless before my wedding. See i have to pay everything by may 7th, so even if i didnt quit it would be the same thing. Infact bc i did quit i will get my paycheck the end of april which i would've gotten regardless, then i will get another paycheck for whatever i will work in may but when you quit you always get an additional paycheck bc when you first start they hold onto your first paycheck and you dont get paid for like a month so im actually going to get more money now before the wedding. Even if i didnt quit, i would've ONLY gotten my april 30th paycheck and honestly thats all i would've gotten before the wedding bc the next one wouldnt have been until May 15th and everything has to be paid off before that.

yeah i do have ideas hahaha, trying to see now if it will work, and then i'll talk about it lol

its great that everything is working out for you~

how is your foot?

yeah when i first mentioned doing this i think some ppl were freaked out lol like wait WHAT ABOUT THE WEDDING!!!! i said i am still going to get the same amount i would've if it stayed, and once i explained and they realized it was better lol

eh its ok, not as good as i would like it to be with just 25 days until the wedding but hopefully it will get better quick

I think your foot will get better before your wedding~

well i pray it does!

ohhhhhh! i finally got my refund!!! (from the corset I bought back in december..) i'm not sure if you remember but..

did you get all your credits back??

Good for you Denise! Are you going to stick to something in the same field you're in now or go into something totally new?

something new, i really hate a job where you sit behind the desk 9-5 and just do the same thing day in and day out and just dont like the whole corporate world. I prefer something more creative. I am in the works of something new but don't want to post now to jinx it lol

thank you

Thats great! Yea, I could never sit at a desk alllll day long either. Good luck with the new job!

Re: i gave my 2 weeks

Thank you so much

its so funny too the stupid things you think of right away. One of the first things i said to my Fh is 'YES i can watch the soccer game with you and my dad'

the thing is that for a few months now my dad and Fh have planned to watch this one game in the eurocup. The reason why is bc my fh's country and my country are playing against eachother and for the past few months all they do is argue with eachother about who will win, not really argue but joking around with eachother. My dad invited so many ppl to the apartment to watch the game, my fh took off that day already too and is so looking forward to it. It is so stupid but i kept thinking AHHHHH i have to miss it and now i can be there it will be not long after we get back from our HM. The stupid things i get happy about
