I quit my job today.

[videoholic]

I finally just got tired of it and turned in my notice today at work.  Actually what I presented to them was letting me quit and hiring me as a freelance director just for the shoot days.  I can do shoot days and a couple extra days for show prep and post for about 1600 per show.  

I really don\'t want to lose the show, I just want to lose the day to day action at the office and I want to be able to do other things.

Hopefully he will go for it and hire me as a freelancer.  We\'ll see.  Otherwise I will just have to look for work that much quicker.


I was very nervous though.  My boss is very bizarre.  He didn\'t really know how to take it at first.  He was very nice and took it well.  Kind of shocked really.  I really hope he doesn\'t dump me.  

My wife is going to put in for 3 different promotions.  That will certainly help, but it won\'t be double.

Ho hum.  Wish me luck..  You stinky bastards.

I was in that position with one of my jobs, I just couldn\'t take it anymore and I had to quit.  The job was easy and there were some things I liked about it but the cons far outweighed the pros.  It felt like a huge obnoxious fat person had been lifted off my shoulders.

Good luck on the free lance deal and/or job hunt.

Now you can spend more time at the beach.

Other boards I visit also have people posting that they just quit their jobs, I guess fall does that to people because I DEFINITELY want to quit mine as well.  
I sent out a dozen resumes and no one has called yet.

Good luck viddy, new house coming and all.

well I haven\'t started on the new house so no biggie.  We are just getting the plans made.  No big whoop.

I hope u have better luck finding a job than I do.

Been at the same job for three years and just put in for a promotion.
I\'d love to quit, but I won\'t.

Work is for suckers.  I hate it.  I would like to know why you chose this time to do it considering you are building a new house?

see viddy\'s 2nd post.

Freelance works out real good for some people.


I have no doubt you\'ll be fine.


P.S. I was in Hollywood yesterday.

You should move there cause I\'m gonna and then we can do that gardening show with sarah that we talked about like 3 years ago.

Well I just ended up getting a new job. I was going to go to the Marines but that kind of fell through because I opened my stupid mouth. If I ever want to be re-asessed I have to wait 6 months. Anyway I\'ll be working in a wharehouse 12 friggin hours a day untill the next semester of school rolls around. Im hoping I get the night shift, seems like it\'d be cool working at night.

This is my only shot to leave.  THey are throwing a whole other series on my lap that will mean humongous stress.  They will be shooting 17 shows in 11 weeks.  That is EXTREMELY tough.  Especially with the lack of staff they have.  Their staff is me another guy and another gal.  That\'s it.  We would have to average a show a week.  There is no way.

On top of that I have only had one 3% raise in the past 3 years.  


BTW, I just got an email from one of my New York buddies who does the Colin Quinn show and it\'s been cancelled.  Last show is first week in November.

17 shows in 11 weeks IS rediculous. Not to mention the fact only 3 people are working on it. Thats just plain stupid. Id have to ask for a major raise for that one. If not then you could have been doing you old job with maybe less stress. Then again i dont know how the old gig worked out exactly.

Consider going into the porn biz.

You know thats really not a bad idea. I mean he knows how to put a show together. It\'s should be really easy for him to do porn. But he seems way to conservative to do it.
