Having a tough time breathing here...

I just quit my job after 1.75 years.

I worked for a movie marketing company.
It was at a kiosk/cart in front of a local movie theatre
It involved hell of a lot of paperwork
We show a person a movie preview, twice, then ask them what they like and don't like over a 5-15 minute survey.
I've been reciting the movie previews I watch every day, the phrases I say to people there every day, literally...EVERYDAY.

I came to the point where I had been memorizing so much about movies that I hadn't heard of a new movie for about one month. I was no longer saying "I want to see this movie" because whenever I saw a commercial I was forced to see it so many times that I lost desire. It's like when you'd say "I've seen that commercial so many times it drives me crazy..." except worse.
Every movie I saw was no longer dramatic, no longer funny, it sucked. I FINALLY LEFT THIS DAMN JOB!!!!!

I feel like celebrating...

I just broke up with my girlfriend a few weeks ago, and I decided "you know what? I thought a girlfriend might make bearing this job easier, but dangit, it's time to go" So I gave my boss 2 weeks notice. Since then, I've gotten about 5 apps put in, at least 1 interview set up, and 3 more on the way to put in. Apparently I'm going to be doing physical therapy, which is great, because my leg has been injured for too damn long. I finally got a doctor to look at it today.

My friends...I am very...very glad today.
YEAH!!!

You have to look at the big picture. We (as a country) spend more tax money dealing with MS blunders than we do on the software itself. And guess who MS's largest customer is? You guessed it, the government! - Brian

"ur" "gf" and "titty" all on the same line seems so wrong to me.

Maybe not the nudie bar, but definitely a bar wouldn't be a bad idea. Snagging a lady certainly would even things out [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif].

But yah, sounds good man. Good luck with your job and therapy.

Just as a side note: I don't think everybody would be happy if you burst out singing Tom Petty's "I'm Taking Control of My Life"... Classical rock seems to be so under-appriciated...

I actually did something somewhat similar. I quit my job at McDonalds after just over 3 years, even though I didn't have anything else lined up. But I needed to get out of there.
