I told my boss off today and I quit my job!!! I need Advice.

Talk2BigSteve · #1 09-22-2005, 12:03 AM

Today was a bad day at work. I went in and as soon as I got in the door all hell broke loose, we have had major issues with the hurricane, and with service calls we have almost tripled our call volume.

I was told I had to do diciplinary meetings all morning, and regardless of what they said in the meetings I was given a list of who I was to let go.

So that was my breaking point.

I told him I already cleaned out one entire office for him and in a time of triple our normal call volume I was not going to start playing executioner again, when everyone needs to be answering calls on the phone. I told him he could go [censored] himself and find another pawn to do his bidding because I quit, and I clocked out and left.

Then I got home and I called the broker in charge of my retirement account from when I lived in Texas and told him to just cash out everything, pay the taxes and penalties, and call me with a total. A Half an hour later he called and after everything is paid including the Taxes, he was overnighting me a check for $83,442.03.

***Caution Poker Content***

I only play $2/$4 right now although I actually am doing good, I have a 3.29BB/100 average over 178,000 hands. I don't want to move up right now as I still think I have much to learn about poker. 4-Tabling right now I am making about $25-30 an hour average.

***End Poker Content***

What should I do with my money??? I still have 2 years left of college. Plus I have to do a 1 year apprenticeship. I can't believe I quit my job, but I did it.

It's hard to advise you. The best advice I can give is to go out to the bar and pick up some skank chick. That ought to straighten you out and give you some confidence to procede.

Good luck!

$84,000 on black.

seriously though, i understand quitting your job, but why would you cash out all accounts?

Taking out that 83k may have been a bit rash, I don't think you'll need that much. You should definitely invest what you don't need to live, but I wouldn't know how. You can probably get by nicely with that um, bridge winrate, but you should definitely play bridge for at least 3/6. Stop being a pussy.

That was an incredibly stupid thing to do. Do you have a pressing need for $83,422.03?
