Have you ever just picked up your stuff and walked out of your job?

Well, that's what I did today. No two weeks, just four heavy bags on my back, full of schwag.

Why did I quit? Is it 'cause I work with twats?

No, I need a change. So I'm a free agent, looking for work, either full time or freelance. Will write/dance/go-the-distance for food.

Bravo to Brother Shu. That's the basic tool in your ethical toolbox: the willingness to walk away and trust your skills and your innate ability. I don't know the circumstances, but I applaud the courage.

Happy Birthday Les!
I'm not surprised and know you'll find another job. after all, you're the only one I knew who made it to NYC post 9-11 (literally days after the attack) and still found work.
sometimes it seems confidence gets you further then a padded resume.
