I had a bad day at work today! So... I quit my job! But the really funny thing was that on my home after I cleaned out my office I thought to myself "Now I can hang out with my pals on BPO more"! I'm actually feeling really free now and about all the things I can do with the kids and Leo this summer. This is a good thing, but I'm still in shock that I actually did it. Now I can further my addiction! :P
-
It's odd how things work out!!! More time to do the stuff you love to do! Yippee!!! Now if BPO issued checks, we'd all have it made!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE QUIT OUR JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oh my... you women are crazy! :-X
-
Im jealous, my hubby says as long as I have all my fur kids I have to keep working. Needless to say..I'll be working for a long, long time!
Carolyn
-
No way! That is too crazy! I wonder if it's a full moon? I'm not to the laughing point YET... I think that once I stop shaking and it all sinks in that I will have to have a big howl! Hubby is taking it rather well especially when I told him that now I won't be so stressed and we can do that THING more!
-
ahh, nice play! smart woman you are LOL
see, i haven't gotten to the serious phase yet.....i'll start shaking on the first when i can't pay my bills! but today, todays a good day! IT IS SUCH A GREAT FEELING TO SAY UP YOURS AND WALK OUT! FOR ALL THE CRAP I HAVE HAD TO PUT UP WITH....THEY GOT TO TAKE IT UP THE YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY.....GRAN TED, BY TOMORROW THEY WONT KNOW WHO I AM, BUT TODAY, TODAY THEY ARE HURTING.....AN D I AM LAUGHING ABOUT IT LOL
-
What job did you quit, Nicker? The nanny? I wish I would have just walked out, but I emptied my in box, did my filing and put everything in order. Then I put my resignation letter on my bosses desk with the credit card and key and got the h*ll out before they caught up with me! But, tomorrow they will get it! I'm okay financially but I'm also married. You can always go out and find yourself a rich old man there in Hollywood!
-
im working on it LOL
yes it was the nanny job.....but hopefully...ho pefully, my paramount job will come through this week and the (cross your fingers) film this summer also...with those two things i will be okay and still able to buy the kis cool toys
-
Yay for you guys! Have I mentioned I wish a lot that hubby would quit his job?? ;D
Kandi

OOh exciting! Keep me posted on the film job. What will you be doing? I was big time into theater back in middle and high school and it was always my plan to be a famous actress, but I met my husband when I was 17 and I followed him instead... Which is good but I always wondered what could have been. You should get those boys of yours into the biz, I bet they could get work and you could live off the riches!
-
i've been talking to some people about getting cody into modeling, and he is registered as an actor LOL.....
i would be the 2nd AD. SO IT WOULD BE SOOOO MUCH FUN....the woman who wrote/and is directing this film has written a ton of material for catherine zeta jones and other huge names, so i would LOVE TO GET ON IT!!!!!! plus, i am a writer myself, so i would LOVE to gets some tips and help from her!
i packed up and moved to hollywood right after graduation for the reason that i was scared if i waited i never would, and i didn't want to wonder the rest of my life....but i promise you, if i make it, i will fly you to LA and let you have a part in a film of mine. hold me to it k?
-
Wow, I am so proud of you! You are what I could've been! I will hold you to that deal too so you better get cracken--- now that I'm unemployed... Okay, it's sinking in now :P
-
I am not sure if I should congratulate you all or lend a shoulder lol..... But since you all have THE addiction anyway, it is probably for the best ;) And hats off to you NatsaintB hehe they really are easy to manipulate aren't they lol..... (our men I mean) and to you nicker all I can say is Anna Nicole........ she is one smart lady (I use the word lady very very loosly lol....) Sounds real interesting with the acting though, maybe it is fate, and this is how it is meant to be.
Kandi - why do you want your hubby to quit??? Me for one is real happy that he is working (mine that is lol...) that way I can spend all this time with you guys, and then I have to spend some time bribing hubby for not having done the cleaning hehe.
Marit
-
I feel like quitting mine, but thats just not possible. I am jealous.
-
woohooo!!! Ive been off work for 2 years now and I guess its OK. Now I can talk to you guys and REALLY get behind on my house work. :D Not a bad idea. LOL Its nice to know a bit about other people on here. I wondered what everyone does for a living other than being great Moms and Dads to your big dogs. Thanks for sharing. OH Yes and Girls now you can come to Canada and show your pups the Great White North!!
Karen
-
marit you crack me up! and you also think just like me! anna nicole is my goddess.
no im kidding....she would be if she had gotten all the money though.
its so dirty! pushing a geezer around in his wheel chair all day! yuck LOL......but the reward always comes later! there is no instant gratification in life! we have to earn it! I'LL WORK ON IT! I HAVE MY EYE ON THIS ONE GUY FROM WORK! HE IS LIKE A TOM BROKAW! HOT HOT HOT! lol. he looks better and better every day! lol, im so gross.
-
OMG!...You 2 are nuts! :o LMAO!...I am laughing with both of you!...I am lucky...I haven't really worked since I got married almost 10 years ago...My kids will be 7 & 8 & I am more than ready to go back to work at least part time but my hubby is an over the road truck driver & is only home 2 days a week so that makes it kind of tough because we don't do babysitters... never have...He might be getting a job where he is home every day & weekends off & I am crossing my fingers!...I need to get out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
nooooo not gross, funny....... and dont worry about pushing him around in a wheelchair, with lots of money you can hire someone to do it for you lol...... And poor Anna, she worked soooo hard for those money ::), Hubby just coming in here and rolls his eyes and says that I have it made...... I guess he is right huh.... sit here and talk to you all day isnt a bad thing at all. Now all I have to wait for is for him to hire a cleaning lady for me hehe. Have you tried using your babies as men magnets??? It works rather well lol.... a little too well if you ask hubby, ohhhh and if you drive, pick a RR or a Bently or something else and rearend it gently, if a guy is driving, ohhh and try and see if he has a wedding band, if so, DONT hehe
Marit

i was just in canada in march, AND I'LL NEVER GO BACK.
I LIKE YOU, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE CRAZY CANADIANS LOL.....long story!

Marit
better yet, with all that money, we can buy one of those wheelchairs with the little knobs that makes it move all by itself LOL...MAGIC!
oh i use them as men magnets all the time, why else would i get such big dogs?! there are 2 guys in my building that i am currently trying to make fall madly ni love with me. they already love the dogs, so all i have to do is manipulate them with the canines and im in! hotties i tell ya! hotties, all hotties! i love this city LOL.
i could do an old RR.....those are hot. but all the bentleys now just piss me off. the money for that one car could save HOW MANY ANIMALS, OR GIVE HOW MANY KIDS A LAST WISH, and the dudes just get a car! i used to work for a guy who walked into a bentley show room, handed them a check for 250,000 for the floor model, and drove it home that day. it just makes me sick! long story short, wont be crashing with a bentley any time soon....im not a fan of bentley people
-
Gypsy, you and I are in the same boat! My hubby is an engineer for Union Pacific Railroad and works from here to Oregon and back. He is gone pretty much the same as yours. Too bad we don't live closer! That's another reason why I don't feel so bad quitting my job. Now I can be here for the kids and they at least have one parent all the time. I will get antsy in a matter of weeks and wish I was working again, especially when school is out. I sew a lot of my girls clothes too so now I can work on that. Friends have been telling me to sell some of my designs on ebay so we'll see. That is if my acting gig with Nicker doesn't pan out! LOL!!
-
Good point nicker..... But if you see it this way, if you get a foot in, you can always make them do all the good things with their money lol.... And I have to say, if I were not married I would definately move to that city, you talk about all the hot guys with money and I see myself with a great big huge center for rescued dogs and cats, all sponsored by my "suger daddy" lol.....
Marit
-
jesus! he looks JUST LIKE WANGUS!
i really hope he turns out looking like leo, hes so handsome....an d angus just is not LOL
he tries to be a st bernard, but its not working for him. hes sucha nerd!
your gig WILL pan out.....i dont fail, and this is now a goal of mine, so it will happen! woo hoo for you
-
lol, since i will be their caretaker, i will slip in an extra med here and there and they wont know that they keep signing away all their money to wonderful causes they never heard of LOL.....serves my sugar daddy right!
-

Karen
I have been at home for almost 5 years now, since I had my last child. Before that I worked with economy, for about 10 years before I quit I worked as a administrative manager for a company that designed and manufactured bathroom and kitchen interiors. A 70-80 hour a week job, so even though I sometimes miss working outside the home, I just have to remeber all them hours and I am cured lol...
Marit
-
You girls are nuts! I love all the stories you have had to share with us and can't believe you quit your jobs. Nicki- I really hope you get your big break in the biz and Natsaitb- enjoy your time off! I fdon't know what I would do if I didn't work because Bear is our only baby. I guess I could get a houseful of Newfs and play with them full time but then we'd be really poor. I'm a 4th grade teacher who can't wait to get out of school (8 more days) so that I can play more too. I jump on BPO at every recess just to stay caught up on the latest. And as for hubby, well I'm sure you can guess his job since he did this wonderful site with his twin, so I don't want him to quit his job. ;)
Maybe tonight we should simultaneously have "beverages" to cheer to those of us free of the daily grind and those of us struggling to make it through! What do you think?
-
jesus! he looks JUST LIKE WANGUS!
i really hope he turns out looking like leo, hes so handsome....an d angus just is not LOL

Angus is too handsome, he just needs to grow into himself! We are still working on getting to know the dremmel. As you can see in the pic, his nails are getting sooo long and ugly :o We had the groomers try to cut them and she cut it too short and made him bleed last week >:( I was so steamed that I refused to pay for it. So don't look at the nails aka claws...
I let hubby know that I will be moving to Hollywood to pursue my acting career that I put off for so many years. He thinks I'm having a mid life crisis but likes it!
-
Good Idea Jamie..... lets do that. I knew you were a teacher, but have always wondered about Michael, if he was just having comps as a hobby or if he worked with them too, guess I know now :D To make you a little sick.... our kids have their first day off from school today, poor pooooor poooooooor all parents lol......
Marit

I'm in for the drinks! What are we having? I'm getting so excited now!
-
I am SSSSSSSSSSSOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO in for drinks!....My hubby has been gone an extra day this week & won't be home for another hour or so...He left Sat. morning....My brother was in a bad car accident on Sunday & was just taken out of i.c.u. & put in a regular room at our university hospital where he was airlifted to from the hospital in town the accident was in...He is still out of it though...I won't get to even see him until tomorrow as my hubby has been out on the road & I had no one to watch the kids...Sorry to dump my problems on ya' all but it's been a unusually stressful week!...I'm having Southern Comfort & alot of it...lol!
-
What a week you have had! I'm so sorry to hear about your brother :'( I hope he gets better soon. You sound like you need a drink or 5! I'm in for drinks too but I have to go to the store to get something which means I have to seperate myself from this board for a bit. I don't know if I can handle it! We are all going to be hung over tomorrow and our spelling will be horrible!
-
GJ, what a horrible time you are having! How is your brother? What kind of injuries? We will all pray for him, and have a drink with you. Your fur babies will give you comfort!
-
Ty Rufiesmom....W ell, he's going to live by the grace of God, prompt emergency attention, & wearing a seatbelt...He has 3 fractured vertebre in his neck, a broken jaw, broken rib, pretty bad head injury, missing literally half of one ear, a bad facial laceration that cut his eyelid in two but thank God missed his eyeball...He has been sedated since the accident but they were able to remove the breathing tube yesterday & he was able to breath on his own...It was the 3rd time they tried but he couldn't breath before...They had to reinsert his feeding tube today though because he either can't or won't take anything orally...He is still very confused & doesn't remember what happened...He hit the shoulder of the road on the highway, overcorrected & rolled his car end over end down a very steep & long ravine on the opposite side of the highway...He ended up top down in a creek but thank God again the car managed to straddle the creek banks so he didn't drown...The only witness, who called 911, (again thank God) because the car couldn't be seen from the road) said he was probably doing 70 or 80 m.p.h....The physical injuries will be the easiest recovery he has to make...I won't go into details because it has caused me & my family years of heartache but the real recovery hopefully will start after his injuries heal...Again, ty for your concern.
-
Gypsy,
You poor thing! I hope that you get big hugs and kisses when your husband gets home. Lord knows you need it. Sorry that its been such a tough week for you. We're all here for you and just know that you can dump your probs. on us anytime- thats what we're here for!
-
I'll keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers :-[
-
Good for you Tina! Did you stand your ground and put the lady in her place? I love my mother in law dearly too but she can certainly be a mother in law! She is the type that likes to buy us things and then ask for favors. It's a form of manipulation that isn't completely bad ;)
My oldest is going into third grade next year and I think that every year it gets worse. Only because she likes to argue about EVERYTHING and she never stops talking! The sad thing is that I was exactly like her at that age and it's all payback. My baby starts kindergarten this year and I've had a tough time with that. When my son started this last year I cried the whole way back home and to work so I know I'm going to be weak :'( At least now I'll be home and maybe I can volunteer in her class.
Well, here's to friends! Clink...
-
No I'm just neurotic! Good mothers don't feed their kids pop tarts for dinner...
-
Ty for the thoughts & prayers for me & my brother...My hubby just got home about 45 minutes ago...I then poured a qaudruple Southern Comfort & Pepsi...I should be o.k. in no time...lol...A strong drink I know but I would never drink when he is out on the road because I am here with the kids alone...So I am having a drink I badly needed for the past 4 days since my brothers accident all at once...It evens out then right?...lol!
-
TERRIFIC NEWS! IVE FINISHED A BOTTLE OF WINE, AND AM WORKING ON BOTTLE #2...THIS IS 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW....
LAST NIGHT I NEEDED THEM TO MAKE ME FORGET I HAD TO GO TO h*ll TODAY, AND TODAY I WANT THEM TO CELEBRATE SCREWING h*ll LOL
WOO HOO FOR DRUNK PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET!
on a different note, gypse, you are in my thoughts! stay strong and hug your babies to death! they are the best thing in the world to get you through a tough time!
cheers!
-
I am so sorry to hear about your brother Gypsy Jazmine, you have had one heck of a horrible week, you absolutely deserve bunches of drinks. I am a wine person myself, so when I drink it usually is wine, but I always keep a bottle of Irish cream in the fridge, I LOVE that, I could drink it in tall glasses all day long.
About Mother in laws, well hmmm cough hmmmm well....... how to put this....... okay, the first time I saw the trailer for "monster in law" I looked at my husband and he looked at me, noone said a word, daughter started to laugh hysterical and well that I would think tells you all what kind of a relationship I have with my mil.
Please keep us posted on how your brother is doing gypsy, and you know, just as Jamie said, we are always here for you, you can yell, cry and laugh with us anytime you need.

-

im all drunk and she, who starte this ( i htink lol), is nowhere to be found.
oh now im all sad.
-
jabear has to teach small savages early in the morning...It would be no good for her to be really hungover without the benefit of a dunce cap & a ruler for smacking little knuckles...lol!
-
NAT.....HOW WAS NO WORK!!!!!!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!?!??!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!
-
I looooooovvvved it! Went and bought the kids a big pool and we bbq and ate too much! We had family here outside eating and having a great ole time and I keep running in here to check on you all! How was your day? Any phone calls? My boss tried to call me a couple of times but I won't call him back because I don't want him to talk me into coming back --- helllll nooooo! My husband keeps telling me how much he likes me not working and keeps using it as an excuse to go do "that thing"... Great, quit one job, start another...LOL! It's all good!
-
lol, at least pleasure sometimes follows the work with your new job!
BBQ sounds GREAT!
i did find out today that at that house, i was exposed to TB...so now im red hot! but i opened a bottle of white and am drinking it straight from the bottle, so i'll be cool in a few minutes LOL...oh, and im eating brownies!
i DID however, hear from paramount! i have an interview!
-
Wahooo! You've got to keep me posted! I have to live through you now. If you ever want to have three kids and a hubby just let me know and I will let you live through ME. I didn't think so... Let me know when I should start packin!
-
lol, i will let you know FOR SURE! after the pee story, you are now my new best friend LOL....and you will no doubt have a role in one of my big screen feature films!
im REALLY sorry, but i can't live through you, i would screw up your kids, and then you would hate me! lol
-
But they would be funny! I think I already started screwing them up but at least they'll have something to talk about in therapy!
-
LOL, then i'll see what i can do...im always glad to help where i can! even if its screwing with kids minds....HA HA, I MAKE A GREAT NANNY DON'T I!
-
I can just see you as Mrs. Doubtfire LOL! You need your own sitcom with these sick little TB kids and their crazy nanny and her dogs Cody, who thinks she's lost her mind, and Angus who talks a lot and pees everywhere! LOL! Oh the possibilities!
-
my neighbor is writing a sitcom right now....and im trying to talk her into letting me star in it! the woman is a trophy wife though, so i dont know that i fit the part!
i'll just have to write my own they hey!
-
That would be so cool to be a trophy wife! Spend money all day, do the pool boy, hang out on BPO... Do the pool boy... You would be great for the part, you just have to do some research and find yourself a rich old guy like I said!
-
LOL, i had the opportunity to be a pool girl! i wanted to take it so i could do all the rich men, but thought maybe i should act a little better...so i declined. BUT I STILL WANT A POOL BOY OF MY OWN....they're actually all surprisingly good lookin ou there LOL
