Read one of the posts about hobbies, and I thought you would have a better chance of seeing this if I fresh posted, so here goes.
You cant let a bitch ruin your life and make it miserable, I worked in a big company selling furniture, the boss was a no talent scag (chris) who fvcked the State manager and got her own store where I worked, it was a cash cow store with bugger all competition, and she thought she was the greatest thing of all, You get that when low class bitches suddenly luck out and start earning real big money (like $450,000 a yr),there were 3 women from the store that were promoted and given thier own stores, of the 3 I was better than all of them, so I went and saw chris about applying to have my own store, she said yes you would be a good proprietor, but I dont want you to go yet because, I have 2 trainee propietors here, when they go then it will be your turn. I waited 9 months until they went, so i went in and saw Chris and she said I dont see that in you, I said to her why didnt you tell me that 9 months ago and she said you would have left.
So yes I did leave, I had always had an interest in Computers, building,repairing and doing 3d graphic work, so I went and saw the computer boss and got a transfer to computers, the funny thing was, I saw Chris in the computer dept and she asked me what it was like transferring to computers, I said to her "Now I know what the negroes felt like", she missed it, went straight over her dumb, blonde, ugly head.
So dude, never ignore any opportunity that comes along, and look outside your comfort zone, the 2IC at the computer dept left and now he owns 3 laundromats, one of the top salesman left to work with his brother, hang in there but never stop looking

Any day above ground is a good day

At least I can console myself by going home and riding the missus.

That cow at work actually wrote a letter to me yesterday confirming in writing her objections to my 'performance' at work. It's pretty clear where this is going.

Yep. Unfortunately she'll probably succeed too. I have a three month notice period, so if I can hang on until the end of the year I'm laughing. That would give me more or less two years with this company, which is all I need.

However I will ask for a transfer when my boss comes back next year. I can't see my wife so upset every night because of our situation.

Man, that really really sucks. It must put a real strain on things. It must be a struggle to get through the day. I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing that the girls are away. One one hand, it keeps them away from the strain of the situation, but on the other, having them around being carefree, acts as a kind of stress reliever.

Jesus, wish there was something I could do, I really do.
How about I slot the bitch for you?

If only life were that simple.

What kills me is the effect it's having on my wife. She's in a state of utter despair. And yes, ultimately I'm glad the kids are away, at least until I get this situation sorted. Although you're also right when you say that they're a distraction too, playing with the kids always gives me a lift.

I found a very interesting job in Hong Kong this morning, and I'm going to apply straight away:

In the words of David Baddiel and Rob Newman as the History Today professors......That's you, that is.

Seriously, it does sound right for you. What you've told me, your qualifications and you experience, you ARE made for this job. Those were 2 pieces I picked out that summed you up perfectly, amongst others.

If this develops, then it may help lift things for the wife, as at least there'll be light at the end of the tunnel, to use such a piss poor cliche.

I hope my time in Hong Kong will stand to me, and I have a very good reference from the President of the firm I worked for over there, although he's based in Canada now. I'm going to get back in touch with some people and see what sort of influences I can bring into play.

That would be too expensive, its either one or the other.

I just got an email back from my referee in Canada, he was delighted to hear from me and asked about my academic work in non-verbal reasoning. Seems there is a commercial interest in the subject.

Just make sure the night before, you down at least 10 pints of Guinness and go and enjoy the hottest, nastiest curry about. Then when you drop your toxic load in the khasi on the plane, Ireland will left with a biohazard that will have a half life of 7 years.

I have a dozen raw eggs and some milk in a plastic container, which I've placed in a nice warm location in my kitchen. It's been there for nearly three months now. So a few hours before the flight I'll swallow the lot, and prepare for some serious arse ejections.
