Quitting
So I’ve quit work, a Job that I worked at for 3 years Finally!
Some might say oh it was a great job, working with exotic cars, and getting to play with them. Taking photos in a photobooth, but I wasn’t happy there, with work, with the same old inventory work I was doing there. It wasn’t a Challenge, I wasn’t learning anything new, or progressing with my career. I told them I was looking at other jobs. The boss said to me you free to look at other jobs, but I think we give you a fair salary, and you won’t find anything better…. wow pretty messed up, they were relying on me for everything for their stupid website, and photos. They only cared about themselves. Never helped me or my coworkers out when our cars broke down. Just asked us why we were late, and why we left 15 mins after 5? but couldnt stay to help them set up for an event, that they told us about last minute at 5 o clock….
I hated this place, and people will always tell me work is always pretty bad. I can tell them that I have never worked in a such a place that was unprofessional, racist, and ridiculous as here.
When I quit, they had the nerve to accuse me that I sabotage their photos, and website. Nope the bosses wife was reluctant an incompetent to learn anything that I taught her. So they company tried to threaten that they sue me and my future employer. Wow really, so I actually talk to the parent company and fixed things handed the hard copies of the photos, signed a contract and wished them luck on their own. I knew they needed me, and left at the worst time. Honestly they didn’t need me if they would learn themselves how to do it. I also left them hanging with no photographer, but they didn’t want to help pay for equipment, or give me a budget to work with, so what was the point. I was suffering there, I wasn’t able to be myself and work hard at what I always liked to do. I was cruising by and wasting time at this point.
Glad I left, and glad i’m loving my job at Acura and appreciated to be part of a team. The commute is longer, but I can’t complain there is no traffic doing a reverse commute to long island. Going home as well is a breeze and now I can always stop at home to check on my parents. Life is turning around for me, I went through a pretty bad period of time after my surgery. I was lost and couldn’t find my way or friends. I just took everything day by day, but enough about the sad part. I can say this year things are changing but I have to focus and make sure I make it happen.
Working out since day one in January. I know I slacked off a few days because I was sick or not feeling well, but I also have to work on my diet and eating out. I already cut portions down which is good, and started packing lunch as well. Lets hope I keep it. I also bought a bike and plan on biking everyday when the weather gets better. Since I will be getting rid of my car soon, my new car i’m going to try and drive it a bit less. Probably not going to happen since my 05 tsx has 213,000 miles on it.
I think shortly I might be quitting this for good. I don’t really have much left on this. People are gone, and some don’t even come back here, so maybe whats the point in keeping xanga?
Sorry guys, but hate to say it I might just quit.

Best of luck for 2013 and new endeavors!
Nooo don’t go! But glad things are looking up for you though!
Your ex employerdid not know how lucky they were when you worked for them. You did the right thing by finding a better place to work. I hope you decide to stay here though. You know we appreciate you here.
good for you!
that’s good to hear that you have found better work. i’m sad to hear about your xanga though. i love seeing your pictures and there’s something different about commenting here and writing 3 huge paragraphs than writing a “looks great” on facebook, you know?
I’ve tried quitting, but I always come back.
