QuickDraw 0 #1 June 10, 2005 After nearly 23 years in the same job, I handed in my resignation on Monday just gone. I start my new job on Monday working for a good friend of 20+ years who phoned me at work to ask if I wanted to work for him. Its similar work but better conditions, hours (for me), and atmosphere, even though I'm taking a $2 an hour pay-cut, I love it there. And when the math is applied, I will actually be earning much more. Its a small well established company (17 years) with real hands-on management and ultra cool flexibility & staff. What's more.. my friend is the MD. The last few weeks have been like therapy, with my only moment of anxiousness being for about 20 minutes after I handed my letter of resignation (based on this) to a director on the car park as he got out of his car. I really feel I owe it all to skydiving & its environment & people, its really peeled back my eyelids and made me sort the wheat from the chaff in my life, as well as some inner confidence in my own abilities & decisions. As the saying goes.. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER. I really am fucking winning. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #5 June 11, 2005 NOICE!!!!! Glad to hear some good news. With the eclectic group of backgrounds in skydiving you never know who you will meet. Gives you a nice perspective on how people live. Keep your eye on your goals and it'll all be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickDraw 0 #6 June 11, 2005 Thanks guys. By the way, the new hours I'm working are: Monday - Thursday 1:30pm - midnight. So technically I can drive to my local DZ after work Thursday night and jump all weekend. Or fly to Spain for the weekend and do the same thing, and come back Monday morning. Life is sweet. -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
