Rickdale


I feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted from my chest (okay at least the weight of Rick which we all know is awfully close to the weight of the world). Apparently I'm the latest cause celeb. Who knew that me pulling my balls out of my purse would give so many people so much enjoyment.

This makes Jason a happy camper.

My phone has been ringing off the hook so to speak. There were a great many people that didn't think I had the cajones to do what I did. I have to admit that I was among those people. When the door closed and the dickhead started in on me I was prepared.

I barely let him finish a sentence before I threw the company cell phone at him and told him that I fucking quit. It wasn't exactly the way I had envisioned leaving the company, but ultimately it's a hellovalot more satisfying. I now have an uncharacteristic positive view of the world and my place in it. Right now I'm not terribly concerned as to where I end up. It's a new start and as I'm fond of saying "I was looking for a job when I found this one..."

I'm not clairvoyant, and I don't know what the future holds, but goddamn it's gotta be better than the past. I've made a great many mistakes in my life and hopefully I can learn some lessons from the past 10 years.

I picked up my final pay and ROE today and it was extremely gratifying to walk out of that building for the last time. It was also gratifying to say good-bye to the few people that I respected and liked.

So look out as I am going to have a new outlook on things, but don't fret as I'm assured that there are many inequites left for me to voice my opinion on.

New Beginnings

As you may or may not know by now I terminated my employment today. I told myself I wouldn't do so without a backup plan, but in light of the confrontational behavior and total lack of understanding by the president of the company, I succumbed to my baser emotions and quit.

On the one hand I feel as though a tremendous weight has been lifted from my shoulders, on the other hand I'm scared shitless as I currently have no occupation to speak of. Such are the grand mysteries and adventures of life. Rather than rant and rave regarding certain perceived inequities (you've all heard them a thousand times) I'll just go on my merry way with the knowledge that it was time for a change and I'm sure I can succeed at whatever the future holds for me.

Liquor in the front, Poker in the rear.

In lieu of Cory's recent lack of babes, I thought it high time for me to add my two cents and try to take up some of the slack.

So feast your eyes on the amazing Jennifer Tilly, oscar nominated actress and pretty damn good poker player.

The rants will continue, puntuated by pleasing pictures of gorgeous women as Cory seems too busy these days.

Enjoy.
