Re: quiting my job for poker was a bad idea
[ QUOTE ]
I dont miss waking up at 5:30am, I dont miss the 3 hours of commuting a day, I dont miss the tie, I dont miss being fake (my biggest pet peeve of the corporate world). I dont miss the back stabbing coworkers, I dont miss the $7 sandwiches in Midtown, I dont miss "The Man". I dont miss having my emails read, and phone calls recorded. [/ QUOTE ] I was offered a job in the States once [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] |

Re: quiting my job for poker was a bad idea
may others have learned your lesson. That being said, I've gone three years without a job, but am also thinking about picking up something part time, cause I kinda miss it.

Tell them the truth and explain it's taught you a lot about life.
You'll be better qualified than some geek who went straight from uni into a job and has never actually dealt with another human being on a professional basis. Lori |
