Well actually it was a months notice. Going back to school slowly in the fall (2 or 3 courses). I've sort of mentally quite already (neffing from work now lol). My sales used to be quite good and I enjoyed the job but I've tired of it now, manager still wants me to stay.

SO, any ideas what I should do in the 2 weeks between the end of this job and September? I thought a bit of going to Vegas for a week. Seems kind of odd going by myself though?

hookers and blow.

Seriously though if i was you id load up a truck and hit the backcountry for two weeks. Will help clear your head before going back to school. Nothing like some time alone in the wilderness.

As I recommend in all "leaving my job" threads:

deposit a deuce on the boss's desk on your way out. It's the only way to be sure.

Not a bad idea. Would certainly be out of character, not as much as going to Vegas though lol, but then I probably really should get outside my comfort zone a lot more.

I like the Detroit idea. Urban exploration would be fun. Of course, our native American wildlife might eat a Canadian alive... :^/

I don't remember them trying to burn their city down last time they lost a playoffs game. :p

Nah, that's Florida :^D

Detroit isn't for the faint of heart, but there's a lot of neat shit to look at.

If you want to stay on the left coast, go to Alaska.

What happened to travelling the world?
Since you have a little bit of time now I suggest you take same courses from Mystery on how to pick up women. He should have a seminar or two in Vegas.

Yes I ca... Oh it's you... never mind.

We're not friends anymore? It's kinda sad to hear the same thing over and over again from you since I've joined this forum. I hope one day you get yourself together. You don't want to be the 40yo "kid" in the neighborhood.

yep. what courses will you be taking?

Nothing really this semester. Just a few English courses. I made my decision too late to really get into much else. My father teaches at the college I'm going to so he pulled a few strings. But that's actually good, what with my problems, and as it's been 4+ years since I was in university or college so I need some time to mentally prepare. Later on I plan to transfer to a university, possibly UBC, and take something like CompSci, Math, or Physics.

He still lives with his mom and dad...and has quite a bit tucked away in the bank.

Locut0s, I'm kind of surprised that you don't change to working part-time since you're only going to school part-time.
